Animation gesture practice!!

Some of my favorite spreads I did for the retro dread manual! These were made to help recap the story of Metroid fusion.

Coming up with the new designs for each character was so much fun, especially the X parasite and retro fusion Samus .

For those who didn’t follow me from Twitter, you might not know that I’m a CG/VFX character animator by day. Here are all the movies I’ve worked on!

Captain America: Winter Soldier - digi-double stuff on the quinjet bridge fight, lots of shield bouncing animation

Sausage Party - too many things to mention, all of them suitably unspeakable

Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania - I animated the Fish Milk scene (and I’m sorry)

Hotel Transylvania 3 - lots of random shots here and there, biggest one is the dog running up the kraken tentacle at the end

Aquaman - more digidouble stuff, sharks and fish and Atlantean machines

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu - the Mr Mime scene of him putting out the match, some Mewtwo fight scene stuff, crowd animation

Sonic the Hedgehog - uncredited work on the original version

I pivoted to cute kids TV animation a few years ago so no more movies for me (probably) but it’s been a ride! And having a webcomic to work on has kept me sane throughout~
