Doodle Dump and Health Update

I'm gonna be real, haven't been sleeping well and I've been having a lot of issues due to the usual PTSD problems despite stuff going really well for me as far as moving, art and living a better life is concerned so for now I'm going to upload stuff as I can get it done and try to at least upload once a week but right now, I seriously gotta get my mental health back in order so uploads may beco...

Health Update

I apologize for the unfortunate update but I've been feeling sick for a few days and yesterday's medical check up wasn't the greatest so I'm taking a week or two to try to recover. I'm hoping that afterwards I can resume my usual Friday night / Saturday morning weekly uploads soon after, hopefully with no pause as far as the uploads are concerned, but in the event that the uploads show up late ...

Mastermind Expansion - Apart of a planned Mini Game Collection

I decided that I would make a couple of different mini games and then compile them into a fun little collection. I prefer short / quick games, especially on mobile and figured since I got this to run on my android 9 phone, I could use this as an opportunity to learn some more simply / casual game design. As for making music and lmms... that's... going. I still feel tone deaf but I'm learning. H...

Doodle Dump? LMMS and Godot stuff.

No huge upload today, just trying to learn more stuff so in godot and Lmms so i can work with my own IPs and lewd fan parodies or whatever. Also revisiting quick lined style for animation and game design as the lineless stuff, while cool, is kinda missing the mark that I'm aiming for and takes a lot longer to produce unfortunately. trying to balance quality with speed but the more complex a pr...

Risky Boots Dance Loop

Gif Previews are way too large and take too long to upload so I'm going to just start attaching video files without the gif preview so my pc can stop freaking out about 'em.

Just some bandicoots

Trying to learn a new comic layout as well.

Doodle Dump + Megumi Popping Short

More stuff done while bantering with the doods. :3

Doodles at Midnight

Doodle Dump 2025-03-26

Doodle Dump 2025-03-22

Finally got everything moved in and all the extra house work out of the way. Didn't like being away from the desk for so long but my friends figured I needed the break and to be honest, being impatient wasn't going to get the lines installed any quicker. All in all, I'm happy with the move so far and hopefully being in a better and more stable spot will help me produce more cool stuff, even if ...

Moving Update

Just letting you all know that the move is almost done we've been working on it all week and now we're in the process of getting internet lines installed and finishing up any other physical labor, home safety repairs, and documentation that needs to be done. I'll try to keep up with uploads during this time but so far, so good.

Some Short OC Animations

Doodle Dump

Doin' a lot of Doodles. trying to rework my style to make for faster production times while pushing my cartooning abilities a bit. I wanna get zany.

Doodle Dump

Just messing around in between serious animation studies and work. :3

Bandigalz N.Fected - Reanimated

I wanted to see how far I've come by remaking an older animation using my new tools and style. This also is helping with me streamlining my workflow so I can produce bigger and better works in the future if things don't get too insane in the next couple of years.

Doodle Dump - WIP Stuff

Just a few doodles and Ideas

Hey, just a heads up.

I'm going to be moving in march as well as dealing with some other IRL stuff that's finally getting resolved that may result in me having to take a week or two week hiatus starting from march 10th. I'll be trying to maintain uploads during that time but in the event that I’m unable to, I want you all to know that the move and personal stuff is the reason why I needed to take tim...

Shantae - Test Potion - Animated Storyboards

Just some storyboard practice.

Speed Highway Dawn Expansion - Animation Test / WIP

This animation is gonna take a while so I'm gonna be doing smaller loops in between and uploading shots from the video as they get completed.

Shantae Mud Bog Inflation and Burst Alt

Wanted to test both the lined and lineless style. Went with a burst ending for the retro one but also made a non-burst based on the same concept using are mode modern short format style. I like them both and learned a lot, but I think I prefer the lineless so far, but that's probably because I work with lineless the most. But the lined style looks cool, and gives super creepy vibes when mixed w...

Doodle Dump and Retro Moho Test

Shantae Valentines

Happy early V-Day. Hope folks spend it treating their loved ones as well as treating their selves with some self care. :3

Doodle Dump

Haven't been getting restful sleep for almost a month and some change. Hopefully it'll clear up once things heat back up down here.

Squidsmith Shiggle n Shake

Yea I took a few tries to get the vectors to behave how I wanted but I learned a lot about bone rigging in the process.

Sphere Gal - Animation Rework

Took what I'm learning and reworked the sphere gal concept into a loop using another character I did a little while back.

Assorted Animation Tests

Working on something....

Shantae Dance Animation - Full Video Attached

I genuinely think this is the best animation I've made so far. The short version: vector tools in Moho rock and all the seemingly unrelated learning stuff came together to get this to work, especially the line work studies. vectors are just points and lines so going back and learning to get comfortable with line work helped me understand how to work in vector so much. also, learned some new tri...

Ami Sphere - Cam Test

Working on a vector animation that's taking a really long time, so figured i'd make a quick raster animation just for fun and to mess with a few things. I tried using the mesh tool for raster morphs and while I think it works pretty well, Vector seems to be the way to go and hopefully the finished animation this weekend will show that. I still really like this one through. It encourages me to m...

Slime Sphere Burst - Vector Lines Test

Wanted to see how solid black lines would look and accidentally discovered that I can edit their thickness on the fly like every other vector, so figured I'd experiment with that. mostly a learning project to compare to the raster one I did a long while back in grayscale. Working directly in Moho feels slower to me than drawing in raster with CSP, but that's probably just because I'm not used t...
