Reposting some old work because I'm still in NDA land! The Baby Murloc Backpack is probably my most favorite thing that I got to animate during my 5 years on the WoW team. I just relate so much to the lil guy!

Video Game Animators, where you at?

I've created a new starter pack and added a few folks to get the ball rolling.

If you're a video game animator (specifically) then drop your handle in the replies.

Reposts welcome 🙌🏻

I'm getting more followers, so I should introduce my dogs! Meet Polt (the small one) & Blam (the not as small one)! Polt is my very first dog and is named after my favorite SC2 player. My wife and I recently inherited her family's dog, Blam, who is named after a Robot Chicken reference lol.

Hi BlueSky! Figured I should make a formal post

I'm Paul and I'm a Principal Animator in games & an all-arounder gamedev/designer. It's been on hiatus, but I'm also slowly working on an RPG in Unreal! Character appeal and game feel are my jams, also big into RPGs & rhythm games

Me - "Ooh what should my first post on Bluesky be?"

Brain - "Something professional, like your animation demo reel."

Me - "Here are pictures of me as a Sith but with my sleep apnea mask!"
