ArtFight Week 2. Had fun little challenges with each drawing this week. This is the first time I used Clip Studio Paint to animate something.

To end mermay, I thought it would be nice to do a little animation. Here's my boy Jaheem swimming. This was going to be a gif but the file was too big.

It's been quite a while since I did an animation for myself. I call this "Don't Tell Me to Smile" featuring my OC Crystal. This was a nice exercise to get back into animating.

My OC Senon wants to wish everybody a Happy Halloween!!! I did the rough of this animation 2 years ago and I finally finished it! I'm so happy I finished it!

The audio is from the ouran host club dub bloopers.

Gotcha!

Bonnie, a toddler, travels through numerous places looking for what was taken from her. She proceeds to encounter a variety of characters to take back what was stolen…

As some of you know, I completed my senior film Gotcha! In the spring of 2018. Since then Gotcha! has been a part of 7 film festivals (2 of which I had the privilege to attend in person before the pandemic forced many festivals to adapt digitally). Gotcha! Claimed its final laurel early January 2021 when it won a Silver Award (3rd place) at the Spotlight Short Film Awards. 

It’s been wonderful showing Gotcha! to a variety of audiences and I’m proud of the work my crew and I have done to get this far. But with Gotcha! being an older short now and the pandemic making film fests difficult, I think it's finally to release Gotcha! to the public. I know several people who’ve been waiting for this for a hot minute… Enjoy!!!

I made this little bee rig a while ago and finally got around to actually animating it. 

Fun fact my name means bee so this little guy is kind of a visual pun on my name. (my last name is Pinkney and I gave em pink knees)

I know I haven’t posted much lately but I wanted to share this big project I worked on last spring! All of the visuals from the intital sketches to the final animation were done by me. The concept/script was written by Seth Samuels and directed by Hilary Hess.

Below the cut is some of the initial sketches and the background art for the project.

I've been working on a commission for an ad for the past few months  that I finished up this weekend. It's animated in Toon Boom Harmony and concept art and layouts were done in Photoshop. It's been awhile since I've built and  animated a puppet so it was nice to get back into. 

Here is one of the styleframes and a couple of the layouts I did for the project. My client gave me a lot of wonderful images to work off of, so all of the jewelry drawn in the ad are based off of actual work done by the students of Jewelry Club

Doing the animatic and boards was an interesting challenge since I've only done either using Storyboard Pro. Since I no longer had the program, I had to adapt to what I did I have on hand.

Once I have them all together, I’ll share the sketches on the girl later.
