A basic animation test and also a deep dive into animation in Blender. The character model was based off a design by my friend @cartoonographer , and rigged with rigify. The mouth hasn’t got a great rig in case you’re wondering so maybe I’ll come back to it at some point #blender #characteranimation #cgianimation #onions

Very much still a WIP so I probably shouldn’t post it yet but life is nuts and it might be a little bit while a chip away at it. Also I mostly wanted give a shout out to @riseupanimation ! Thank you pairing me up with a very kind and generous mentor. Having this experience has made a huge impact in a dark and difficult time! #animation #characteranimation #maya

I call this one “Wait what?”. I am very much a generalist and can do a couple of different things in 3D, but animation has always been the place where I get the deepest creative satisfaction. I like to use tiny exercises like this to practice and up my skills #characteranimation #animation #maya #rayrig

I am no sculptor but it is super fun to be able to quickly sketch out or mock up an idea in 3D. Also my wife loves pugs as I like anthro animals #blender #3D scupt #3Dillustration #pugs

This is from a Kristen Wiig SNL sketch, brilliant physicality especially because I’m trying to work on my overlapping action. It could use a whole lot more but speed is then objective right now #animation #animatorsofinstagram #cgtarianray

Trying to ease my way back into animating again (pun completely intended). It’s not brilliant and there’s so much more I could/should do, but it really is meant to be a quick practice to shake the rust off. Also, forgot just how much I enjoy this! #kicktheselfdoubt #animation #maya #rayrig
