◽2026 MAY 4: Working on something for May 4th 🙃 Will probably be posted on Wednesday, though-- I had some health related setbacks, couldn't finish the project in time.

"If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story." (Orson Welles)

◽MAY GOALS: ① Finish character designs for BST main cast ② Make progress with BST project pre-production ③ Studying animation fundamentals ④ Plan for upcoming animation projects (writing, designing)

I'm using screencaps from SW:IV to study a few things– designing a shot, set design, digital painting, and developing a more realistic approach to animation character design. I really love this shot of Obi Wan-- from "too old for this sort of thing" Ben back to Obi Wan, Jedi Master, General Kenobi, total boss. (painted in Clip Studio Paint)

Just a rough character design, animation workflow, and lip sync experiment. Used a quote/shot from a film I liked (Star Wars: IV A New Hope) so I wouldn’t overthink things– just observing and drawing the reference, not really exaggerating anything major, noting the timing and movement of everything :)

Not perfect, lots of mistakes as I figured things out along the way, but I learned a lot and I think it's a big improvement :)

You can overlay these silly googly eye animations on your personal art and photos :) There are 8 animated eye movements to choose from, or mix and match frames from each set to create your own unique movement!

Each eye is 160x160px in size and made with gifs in mind. Just load the frames into your animation or editing program of choice and have fun! (ง◉◡◉)ง

INCLUDES: -8 animated sequences in png format with transparent backgrounds -A note card with helpful tips

NOTES: -Each animation is timed to 24fps (frames per second) -File folders will need to be unzipped -100% human made, completely AI free 🖤

I got really tired of trying to visualize windows in perspective when designing interior compositions so I finally just made a 3D one in CSP using primitives :p

I wanted to start offering some animation bases for people to study and draw over for personal animations, so here's 2 animations of a "cheers!" motion with a mug and also a champagne flute. Just load the frames into your animation or editing program of choice and have fun :)

The base design is simple and the motion is focused on the right arm, which allows for easier customization to your own character's specifications :) Feel free to add extra movements to the expression, head, torso, left arm, etc!

INCLUDES: -2 animated sequences in png format (1920x1080px) -Timing charts for each animation -A note card with helpful tips

NOTES: -Each animation is timed to 12fps (frames per second) -The champagne flute sequence has 10 unique frames -The mug sequence has 7 unique frames -File folders will need to be unzipped -100% human made, completely AI free 🖤
