Might be an unpopular opinion but soviet Winnie the Pooh blows the Disney version out of the water 😆 I like the grumpy optimism ( i don't understand a word he's saying but he sure sounds likea worker who knows what he's talking about) #animation

🚀 A NEW CHAPTER: I’M GOING FREELANCE! JUNE 1st🥳 Link to my teaser website ➡️ www.joelmayer.io/en After 20 years of working in multinational companies, I will be offering: ✅ Professional Moho Animation ✅ Moho Consulting and Training ✅ Animated Communications Solutions Ready for new projects! 🎬

Drawing Icons directly in Moho now instead going through a dedicated vector graphics app... Just one more and i'm almost ready for the reveal haha.

Two resources with great references for what (in my opinion) makes great designs for 2D cut-out/rigged animation! And best of all: they're both completely free! Z is for Zagreb: archive.org/details/z-is... Cartoon Modern animationobsessive.substack.com/p/our-treat-...

A swaggering antique dude in Moho :) #mohoanimation #animation #drawing #art

New Moho Rig for my upcoming freelance website. Prepare to meet this handsome devil very soon :D #mohoanimation #indieanimation

Working on quite a few animated icons for something real cool! Stay tuned 😎

I quit my well paying job of 10 years to go solo by the end of may. Building a business from the ground up is daunting but still, exciting times!

Good - The Dark Eye is finally available on Steam! Bad - Apparently it got renamed to the dumbest thing ever. store.steampowered.com/app/4289030/...

Honestly apart from the bucket fill, which rarely works properly in any vector app, Moho is totally fine to draw in i'd say even a step above Animate / Flash because you get proper textured brushes to sketch i.e. Probably can record a video on drawing in Moho this saturday.

Symbols in action in ToonSquid.

You see, this is how a company behaves that actually cares about their product and animators.

Just stop using animation software by these big companies, it's no use. Either go open source or support SMOL developers who actually care about the product. Here are two that are far more deserving of your money:

Sorry for all the people sad about Adobe Animate but i mean if you didn't see THAT writing on the wall for the last three years and went looking for alternatives i don't know what to tell ya...

Playing Journeyman Project Pegasus Prime for the first time and gotta say i enjoy it much more than i would've expected! I only ever played Legacy of Time in a serious capacity but loved it ever since the Demo CD that came with Riven. Journeyman Project is very underrated imo.

Did a little inbetweening exercise with my apprentices. I had them animate their initials in whatever way they want, it just needed a start and end state and then morph from to the other. This was my demo (ToonSquid)

Kinda realized today that, apart from Moho vector tools, which i mostly do with an Intuos Pro L, ALL my drawing and 2D animation work happens on the iPad these days. I don't even know when was the last time i used my big drawing display.

Experimented around with Blender today... just researching for the game AFTER doggo 😅 #gamedev #adventuregame #indiegame

Some of Python's funniest and most underrated stuff! Played the heck out of these as a kid :D #montypython

Drew a new background as well...

Cool Sierra Style skip cutscene Fast-Forward button ^^ #gamedev #indiegame #adventuregame #madewithconstruct

Rooms are being connected! After a few weeks of graphics and animation, i'm finally putting the actual game together ^^ Follow for more updates onf this little kids CD-Rom style adventure game! #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Some more animation... this came about two-fold: coming up with faster ways to get around in adventure games and being too lazy to animate the dog actually climbing stairs 😆 #devlog #indiegame #adventuregames #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #animation

Pulling faces #sketchbook #drawing #doodle #sketch #dailysketch

Okay this got more attention than i expected so lemme just clarify that i'm no better since i actually do a throwback to the 90's game but in my case it's kids CD-ROM's so i guess that's kinda innovative 😂 So much for consistency...

Lucky it had a lasso select from the get-go 🤪🔥

Gonna make one of my low-effort intro tutorials for Toonsquid in January.

Some holiday #doodles #sketchbook #sketch #drawing #art #doodle

Just some of the animation i did for the dog over the last couple of days... i'm up to about 200 frames of animation now for the dog alone... thought this was going to be a SMALL project 😅 #gamedev #indiegame #adventuregame #indiedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment

The Masters are ded... #gamedev #adventuregames #indiegame #indiegames #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #animation

Poor Spider will get chased through half the house 😅 #adventuregame #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart #animation

Holiday started! Still recharging my batteries a bit but slowly starting to work on my doggo game full-time. Here's a list of tools just because: Engine: Construct 3 Art/Animation: PIxquare, PIxaki, Aseprite, Moho Sound/Music: Studio One Hardware: Mac Mini M4 Pro, iPad Pro M4

Turns out the creator of McZee's last name is McPhee 😆 I'm glad i finally have a person i can thank for the early inspiration and my first drawing software (and of course 3D Movie Maker which we all loved)

Some #sketchbook pages from today... #sketch #doodle #art #drawing

Animated a little Moho shot for this which was a lot of fun :) Check out Piti's beautiful new short! 🥰

Animal Doodles...

More Multi-Media PC era Nostalgia... everyone else had this? Kind of an off-shoot of Encarta i'm guessing but i spent tons of time with this CD-ROM! #retro

I think i watched this little animation more times than i actually used the software ❤️🫶 @microsoft.com Bring him back! And i say this as an Apple user :D I really wish i knew who the illustrator was for these things. #retro #retrogames #retrocomputer #windows95 #oldschool #microsoft

Toonsquid doodle in bed before sleep…. 😴

Taking a peek...

Creepy crawlies for my adventure game...

Phew that was a lot of animation to make but heyyy it's a first puzzle! If you want to play this little free-to-play mini point and click featuring our gud boi here, follow for more updates! #adventuregames #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #videogames

😱😱😱

Man.. people are sleeping on Artstudio Pro. This is like the closest feel to photoshop (and CSP) I just realize again, why I can’t get used with Procreate.. there are no magic wand tool, to select per color. Yeah, Procreate have the automatic selection but it sucks tho..

Still not a fan of Procreate Dreams, sorrz...

Oof bad kitty! #gamedev #adventuregame #indiegame

G'darn kitty...

Some idle animations of the kitty cat (using a rig for this) #adventuregame #indiegame #gamedev
