This was one of the last animations that I created personally. Nowadays I manage a large team of artists. We're one of the biggest and best Spine studios in the world! Shoot me a DM if you need some high quality 2D animation in your games! #PortfolioDay#MadeWithSpine
My team actually animated over 300 characters for Indivisible! We did almost all the NPCs as well as some playable characters and bosses. The folks at LabZero were GREAT to work with. I wish them the best as they move on at Future Club. #PortfolioDay#MadeWithSpine
We also do full traditional hand drawn animation! This is an enemy character from our own original game, Neko Samurai 😼🔪
We are also quite good at Live2D! This is an original character created by @RewindzeVII (who is the lead character designer on our original game currently in development @ZechaTactics) and illustrated by our other lead illustrator @beriuos #PortfolioDay
We also do a ton of 3D work. Character concepts, turnarounds, modeling, retopology, skinning, texturing, materials, shaders, rigging, animation, compositing. You name it, we do it! If you have any 2D or 3D animation needs feel free to DM me ✌️✨ #PortfolioDay
Oooo here's another cool thing we made a while back. This was for a contest for short films made in Unity. Character design by our excellent lead illustrator @beriuos (give her a follow!)
Oh man, I just found this while digging through old files. This is a character that I personally animated years ago, for an internal game project that was eventually cancelled. Hey if you need Vanillaware style animations, shoot me a line! #PortfolioDay#madewithspine
Oh man, another blast from the past! This is the test I did that ended up getting us work from Lab Zero. Personally animated it myself! This was the last time I animated totally traditionally. It's so fun! I hope to get back to it someday! #PortfolioDay
I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk! ✌️✨
(those classic Capcom games will forever be an inspiration to me!) art-eater.com/articles/darks…
OH MAN! Here's another oldie but a goodie! This is one of the few times where I actually did the ink & paint by myself. Ended up inking it in Illustrator haha. This one was really time consuming! (rotating things in 2D without going off model is HARD!) #PortfolioDay

🧵The Western take on Yoshitoshi is that he was a tragic figure waging a lone war against industrialization and modernization. A war that he lost and thus the traditions he championed died with him. It's a romantic notion that also satisfies tons of biases.
🧵But it's so far from the truth. Yes Ukyo-e fell out of favor for more modern methods of reproduction like photography. But it never died out. For instance there was the Shin-hanga (新版画) movement of the early 20th Century, whose purpose was to keep Ukyo-e alive and evolve it.
1. Manga has been more popular than Marvel or DC comics in the west for decades now
2. Marvel & DC =/= All American comics. Dog Man is one of the best selling books (not just comics) in the US. Americans definitely still enjoy reading American comics!
In fact, there have been times where Dog Man has been the #1 best selling book in the US overall!
Dog-Man is the most popular comic in America, outselling any manga. But for some reason it's not really considered a comic by most, i guess cos it's for kids? Where are the articles about how Dav Pilkey is a threat to Superhero comics lol
Listening to this nice piece on the film "Living" and how the author, British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro was inspired by the Akira Kurosawa film "Ikiru," an internationally beloved classic whose title means "To Live." npr.org/2023/03/06/116…
The piece drops the ball at the end tho, when the narrator says that the film "is not just a remake" and they have a Brit critic that goes "'Ikiru,' by Kurosawa, seems to be a film about Japan, 'Living,' by Ishiguro and his colleagues. seems to me a film about humanity"
Like WTF
What does that mean? Ikiru has been widely regarded as one of the "great films" internationally for decades. It's obviously very universal in its appeal. How is it that "Ikiru" being set in Japan makes it "about Japan" but "Living", being set in the UK, makes it "about humanity"?
Sometimes I think about when Hail To The Thief dropped & this one music critic called it pretentious pap saying Thom Yorke simply screams the words "PENETRATION" over and over in 2+2=5. But the actual lyrics are "we are not even PAYING ATTENTION" lol
Oh man this album rules. It brings back so many TERRIBLE MEMORIES lol. But in a good way!
I think There There is one of Radiohead's best singles. Such a rich, downbeat, groovy, anxious sound. And what a perfect message for the times. "Just cos you feel it, doesn't mean it's there." Tough pill to swallow. But sometimes you really need to hear it
I'm overdo for a food post! I hit up some nice places in Chiang Mai recently. #ArtEaterEats
Dirty Mocha from ... Google Maps has them listed as "Cutlater Cafe" but I could swear they had a Japanese sounding name. Probably rebranded without updating google. Anyhow it was a very good cup of coffee and a beautiful cafe! #ArtEaterEats
In addition to great coffee this place specializes in wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets, which go perfectly with a hot drink (really I should have just gotten an Americano or cappuccino instead of a sweet drink to go with these!)
