Finished building one side of the scene. Now I have to build the opposite one. FYI I'm making an animation based on one of my favorite toys. I started by making blocks to build the mountain with. Then I rendered it as an image that can wrap around a sphere(decreases render time as there's less geometry). After that was a long slog of modelling, shading and staring at reference pictures. And after a total of five days, it's finally done. #growNostr #3Dmodel #blender

The first piece of my next animation. I had a tough time figuring out the rig for the legs. Rig pose test. Shader test 1. Shader test 2 *Laughs with glee These toys were, just, freaking, cool. #3Dmodel #animation #growNostr #blender

Just felt like sharing this. I made this back in 2019. #animation #growNostr #stopmotion

My first animation commission. 😄 Made for @PirateHash

If you haven't seen this you might want to watch it. And if you have seen it you might want to share it. This movie looks like it'll be awesome in all areas: characters, story, animation, music... And if not, it's still a beautiful piece of work. The story behind the studio is incredible too. #growNostr #animation #2danimation

Final flag exercise. The background was supposed to be a medieval town, but ended up being some place in Kansas. #growNostr #animation #2danimation

Animating this was much harder than I thought it was going to be. How does a flag is a stiff wind act? Guess I should have found a reference video first. #growNostr #animation #2danimation

I found an obscure(to me) Italian/German animated movie, "Momo alla conquista del tempo", and thought the main character would be really fun to animate. So I spent the past two weeks learning how to draw her. I couldn't find a model sheet so I used frames from the movie as reference. Have you seen the film, or read the book?

Just random practice.

My absolute best yet! No doubt about it! This was so much fun to make. #growNostr #animation #2danimation

Just a little something for practice. 🙃 #animation #growNostr #2danimation

When I stop thinking "did I draw that right?" 🤣 #growNostr #drawing #draw #sketch #sketching #art

Worked on this for about 8 hours today. I think I should focus more on actually animating and less on coloring. #growNostr #animation #2danimation

My entry in the april 2023 Animatior Guild challenge. #animation #2danimation #growNostr

Phew! It's getting there. Two thirds of the inbetweens are done.

Fifth attempt and I finally figured it out! Even though the water's moving the ripples just go across the surface!

Some changes to the toy padlock. I made a second locking bar with thicker teeth so the lock can't be shimmed. Both locking bars have the back cut out so the rubber band is easier to attach. Added numerals to the disc frames. Added a design in the back of the key that can be use to screw the bolts in. #growNostr #3dPrinting

Ribbon smoke practice from last year. My exercises were way to elaborate. 😄
