Manager of Post Production at The Pokémon Company International, but all opinions stated here are strictly my own.
Trying some shenanigans with a 2D rig "3D rotation". It's about 30 layers dynamically changing layer order over time + lots of vector point motion tweens of the shapes. It's not quite convincing yet but good for a first pass I would say. I want Hivehead performing more actions as the camera "pans".

Whaddup! I'm Spruce! You're probably wondering how I got into this situation...

(Just a clip I made during my work commutes. I used Callipeg and Procreate Dreams, and they worked really well together! Expect more!)

Making GREAT progress on Afterglow's 3D model! Just a little more weight paint jank to clean up.

I've found some promising tutorials on more advanced cel shading/painterly fx that I want to try to apply here too. She is really a test bed for #blender3D techniques.

Last one of my #reploid inspired robot designs. I think this guy is just the coolest.
He hosts a planetarium show and uses his lasers for nice reasons during the day. I imagine he sounds like Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Giancarlo Esposito. #animation #alligator #megamanx #oc

Another #reploid #animation for all ye weary souls. This is the one I was looking forward to getting VO for the most! Just one more coming after this. It was a fun challenge to make all these. #macaque #monkey #vacuum #suck
