"Hopeless It Seems" and "You've Troubled My Day..." scenes from Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. Mayhaps a triptych is brewing here? Capital! Painted with Rebelle by Escape Motions. #tolkien #tolkienart #fantasy #fantasyart #silmarillion #lotr #middleearth #morgoth #melkor #fingolfin #elf #elves

Doesn't mean much, but I'll say there's no chance in hell I'll ever travel to the Disfuntional Warring States ever again in my life. We are seriously at a point where as an European I'd say it's safer to attend a film festival in China than the cuntry [sic] with the leading entertainment industry.

Coming at some unforeseeable future, my webcomic Doktores (2026) that I've been planning for some time now. There's no official release schedule or anything like that, I mostly do this on my downtime and to experiment with CSP. #comic #indiecomic #webcomic #amateurcomic #clipstudiopaint #csp

WOW NICE, I just got me the new FORCED #windows11 Start menu layout that I can NOT revert back to the previous, more sleeker option. Holy shit, after trudging along since Win95, I guess I'm FINALLY starting to look at #linux options! Better late than never, eh? God is in the details @microsoft.com !

🐻‍❄️ 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟮 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀! I made Snow Bear one drawing at a time, not knowing how it would be received. To see it connect with so many people has been both beautiful & humbling. Thank you for watching & for believing that hand-drawn animation still has a place in the world. #animation

@tvpaint.com why is there constant freezing all of a sudden? It's a bit hard to #animate when the software stops functioning several times during an hour..

Oh wow, I managed to do another digital painting of whatever with Rebelle (though this is done using its charcoal tools). Painted during #creatureartteacher live stream. #paleoart #dinosaur #prehistory #dinoart #digitalart #digitalpainting #rebelle

"Bluthyäne" starts the new creative year of 2026. Might also be the only piece of work I get done period, so there you go. #digitalart #rebelle #animal #animalart #wildlife #wildlifeart #hyena #spottedhyena

Stiff Stock Pose. I felt like trying me some Micron-Promarker-Copic travesty. #inkdrawing #micron #promarker #copic #fantasyart #onehourdrawing

I'm starting to feel like my claim of "this is just for research" isn't fooling anyone, least of all myself. I mean, just how many hundreds of hours of Crusader Kings III does it take to design a linear 2D platformer? #gamedev #indiedev #mathproblem

Jeez, I remember when I went to study animation in 2021 and the world was literally open; plenty of jobs and demand for craftmanship all around #animation + #gamedev industry. Then that demand started to quiet/die down, and now it's pretty much AI this and AI that. Like, damn. It happened too fast.

Try the best paperless animation software! It's just like animating with paper but you don't need even need rubber bands!

A thumbnail-esque sketching for future storyboarding. I try to iron out most composition-related errors and wonkiness here and before drawing any actual readable storyboards. I know it's more work, but it's not like I have better things to do! #indieanimation #storyboard #thumbnail

By the by, anyone interested can still watch my stop motion animation short film Stargazer (2025) at Animusic Festival's finalist website: animusicfestival.net/animations-2... #indieanimation #animation #stopmotion #shortfilm

It's just too hard to come up with simple and realistically achievable game ideas. I'd rather suffer from severe burnout and fail completely at everything I do. #gamedev #indiedev

A five-minute spontanious sketch for the day. Ugly thing. #rhinoceros #animaldrawing #caricature #pencildrawing #pencilsketch

Because I didn't get my animation idea funded, I'm disgustingly free to continue my other asinine projects - when I get my motivation back.

Waiting for the decision of the powers that be on whether I will receive a grant to finance my animated short film, from pre to post. It's a learning experience as well, as I have yet to design and/or animate foxes. It's difficult. #animaldrawing #foxdrawing #animationdesign #sketching

CA tells Total War: Medieval 3 is in early development, yay fuel that hype choo-choo 🚂🚃🚃🚃 Seriously though, they only need to iron out Medieval 2's worst flaws and put the whole thing in a new engine. In fact, Medieval 2 Remaster would've sufficed, but whatever. Medieval!

Fox Reaction Shot - Rough Animation (refined) #tvpaint #framebyframe #animation #characteranimation #art #wildlife #animals #2danimation #2d #gif

My "freestyle series" now has an icon. This is not based on any existing saint (that I know of). Not meant to promote or mock (Orthodox) Christianity - this is just an artistic interpretation of a subject I find interesting. #byzantine #icon #saint #rebelle #digital #painting #religious #orthodox

Finished, kind of, my "L'Éminence Rouge". Done in Rebelle 7. #digital #painting #art #rebelle #portrait #topical #political

"I Wanna Go Home", a digital painting done with Rebelle 7, for your Niccolò Pagagini and/or Aurelio Voltaire listening experience. #rebelle #digital #painting #art #devil #demon #lucifer #beelsebub #satan #prkl #pagagini #voltaire

STARGAZER (2025) is now officially one of the finalists at Animusic Festival 2025, running October 24th-25th. This is a great honour and no doubt thanks to the excellent soundtrack composed by @kuuraklaavu.bsky.social animusicfestival.net

🎶 "Dr. Me makes funny creatures / Let's them gawk through the night / They become great mantlepieces / And their time is right" 🎶 #handmade #noai #puppet #wip #project #silly

Digital painting which unfortunately got all *ed up. I managed to lose the original workfile, and I can't use this png to finish the painting. Oh well! Here's my "Permanently Unfinished Fall of Granada". #rebelle #digital #art #painting #reconquista #spain #moors

The devil hits a ball. Rough animation for the day, done with #animationpaper #animation #paperless #rough #rubberhose

Searching animation concept with #krita and #rebelle. Not much success so far. #digital #concept #art #painting #sketch #sketches

Drip, drop. What a lousy day. #digital #painting #art #rebelle

Doing background/digital painting exercises. This one done in #Rebelle. The birds were an afterthought, which kinda shows. #digital #art #painting #nature #forest #birds

Meh, didn't turned out to be how I originally visioned, so we'll see how it goes from here. Maybe I scan and try colouring this with Krita or something. #ink #drawing #traditional #micron #detail #castle #trees #busywork

It's a shrimp-seahorse (because of course it is)! #art #traditional #painting #watercolour #watercolor #aquarelle

A Micron project. It was supposed to a colouring page but now I just keep alternating it constantly. #ink #drawing #micron #traditional #art

A shot from Evoloop (2024), my animated short film greatly inspired by Dougal Dixon's literary works. This one is my personal favourite out of them all. #animation #toonboom #film #art #cartoon #digital #2d #framebyframe

Using @animationpaper.com for animation exercises, and it's working like a charm, now if only I could animate like a champ! Getting there... #animation #exercise #paperless #2d #art #animationpaper

Stills from my stop motion thesis STARGAZER (2025) which I've been submitting to festivals around the world. So far Stargazer has been seen at Lift-Off Sessions Volume 7. The film was also accepted to Interfaccia Digitale. #stopmotion #animation #puppets #art #dragonframe #thesis

Well well. Disney is apparently so deeply ashamed of their live-action remake of Pinocchio they decided use image from Guillermo del Toro's version to make it look better. Oh dear. #pinocchio #disney+ #netflix #guillermodeltoro

My testing of Rebelle 7 painting software. Both pieces still work-in-progress. #rebelle #digital #art #painting #wip

Trying out Rebelle 7 by Escape Motions. A weird fantasy knight with mix-max accessories, but the software was really nice to use. A big recommendation for sure. #rebelle #escapemotions #knight #fantasy #art #digitalpainting

Let's ink wendigo.... It was actually supposed to be an original character, but I suck doing anything innovative, so here we are baah. #art #drawing #illustration #ink #microns

STARGAZER is now an OFFICIAL SELECTION for Interfaccia Digitale! Grazie mille! Event date: October 10, 2025. Here's hoping Stargazer gets to be shown! hangartfest.it/interfacciad... #animation #festival #interfacciadigitale #filmfreeway

STARGAZER is now competing in Lift-Off Sessions Volume 7: Student Shorts P1 among other great student and first-time filmmaker productions. 28 July - 10 August. liftoff.network/lift-off-ses... #LiftOffGlobalNetwork #LiftOffFilmFestivals #LiftOffSessions #FilmmakerSessionsVolume7 #SupportIndieFilm

Theatrical animation has recovered to pre-pandemic levels globally, thanks largely to U.S. blockbusters. But in Europe, a growing gap between production volume and audience impact is raising questions about the future. www.cartoonbrew.com/business/glo...

I went to see #Elio. It was good. Very good, even. I'm happy I got to see it on the big screen. Good show, #Pixar.

#Edinburgh I pray thee, good sir, to tellen me which shoppe of thyne doth holden tho thynges, that be of heigh qualitee and litel of cost, for the craft of animacioun. what the... Where can I buy animation supplies in Edinburgh?
