A finished scene!

For your eyes only (and a week before the rest of the world), I present this exclusive preview slice of my Street Fighter animation movie.

Even if you’re not familiar with fighting games, this scene should hopefully show a small taste of the pacing, action choreography, smooth animation and visuals found in high quality 80s-90s fight anime like the Fist of the North Star movie, Project A...

R-Type missiles (progress shot)

More R-Type remastered animation. This time I'm incorporating a 3D ship & environment with hand drawn missiles, background and shading.

You can see in the first shot how messy the missiles start off, but end up looking quite nice at the end (it's all about the movement with missiles, so really you just have to draw curved lines then add the missiles in later). Missile smoke trails can get pr...

R-Type Remastered

Here's a sneak peek of a new scene for the R-Type film I've been remastering whilst music/SFX have been ongoing on Streetfighter.

I always wanted to get this shot in there but at the deadlines prevented it at the time! I'll have some sweet missiles for you in a couple of days as well.

This guy is how I envision the pilots of the little red ships in R-Type (see attached pic).

Also, ma...

An Alien gif.

Greetings, all!

I've been animating an Alien for a Twitch alert and thought I'd give him to you good people.

Attached below is a transparent gif you can use for your own streams or whatever, really, and a sound file to match it.

IT WILL SPOOK YOU.

Enjoy!

Comfy weekend gaming stream

Hello, everyone.

It's the weekend! Who'd like to join me for some R-Type Tactics (R-Type Command in the US)? Since I'm remastering R-Type animation at the moment, it seems like a good choice to play, and we can see all those different types of R-fighters and Bydo aliens up close.

PSD file dump & the return of livestreams.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen!

Zak and Joey are working to add music and SFX to the current Streetfighter film scene as we speak, and Dave Dixon (https://www.youtube.com/user/ShockyD/videos) has recorded excellent M.Bison lines.
I won't leave you hanging in the meantime though. First up, here are a bunch of ...

Mech eyecatches.

 Do you remember this eyecatch animation I did?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7_UM5b2TuM 

Here's some of the retro anime eyecatches I referenced whilst making it (well, okay, the Unicorn one is fairly recent but Macross II and Patlabor will always be classics). 

Do you have any...

Progress update for Jul, 2017.

 Hello, everyone! 

 Progress on the Bison scene is being made thanks to Zak (music) and Joey (SFX). With this, the official TIE Fighter team is back together!
 For those of you that have joined me on the past Friday livestreams on Youtube, this scene should be familiar as it features Vestman, lots of soldiers, and Bison shaking things up with some uber-smooth animat...

Quick update

Hello everyone!

I've almost finished the animation for the current scene and I'm going into the edit booth (as it were) to get the music, SFX, voice acting etc on there. So animation livestreams will be a bit more sporadic for the next  few weeks, since there's not really any animation to do for a little bit.

After that, though, I'll have a scene to show you. I'll post the secret link...

Stadium background time-lapse (& files!)

Hello everyone!

Since some of you have been asking how I paint backgrounds, here's a fullsize one and the .psd file if you want to check out the individual layers.

I've also included my Photoshop custom brushes for rock/pebble textures and smoke. Use them to paint lots of boulders!

And here's a time-lapse video of me painting the thing - 2017-06-30 03:56:42 +0000 UTC View Post

24FPS Progress

Thanks to everybody who’s kept me company via streams since the beginning of this shot. I thought to upload a peek of all the progress that we’ve made so far.

Feel free to post or use any way you like!

R-Type gif for streaming

Here's a transparent 1920x1080 gif  that you can use in streams for alerts/donations/follower alerts etc. I  made it for use in my livestreams and it seems to work rather nicely.

Take it with my compliments! 

This fellow has a good video on how to get fancy gifs and whatnot into your streams so if you'd like to use this, just follow his steps! : 2017-06-09 21:54:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Do any of you do any livestreaming? Here's a transparent 1920x1080 gif that you can use in streams for alerts/donations/follower alerts etc. I made it for use in my livestreams and it seems to work rather nicely.

Six hours of inbetweening (& a .psd file)

Hello all! Hope you're having a nice weekend so far and are keeping hydrated!

I just uploaded a stream of myself inbetweening animation for six hours, so if you're bored of watching me colouring, this is one actually about the animation process and linework.
