I spy a dino animation sneak peek for #IndieAnimationDay! 👀 ✨📬🦖

It must have been paper mache craft day at school xD The context: bsky.app/profile/neom... --- Characters: Neo-Meso Post 3D Mock-Up: DocJayArts24

Art Fight Animation 6! Baldr belongs to "Vancho"! Baldr's got a neat design! They strike me as the type to conjure up some spells 🔮✨ ---- This is gonna be my last animation before Art Fight 2025 wraps up, but I had a good time!! I'm glad I gave it a go! :D

Art Fight attack 5! 🎨🖌️ A doggo doodle this time, for "Nikola_K-Ska" 's pup Luna, playing fetch in the park! :)

Art Fight attack 4! :D Jae's got an interesting character description! He sounds like a real brewing storm who may be running away from trouble, or, perhaps, towards it... Jae belongs to "suvan" / "doeprince"!

Art Fight round 3, a revenge on @rhapsodna.bsky.social ! >:D All hail Jim! 100% qualified to rule* Such a goofy little creature; he's great xD

Art Fight attack number 2! :D Bango running through a grassy meadow, following a butterfly 🦋🐇 Bango belongs to "Emilz"!

Art Fight Tiimmme! :D 🎨🖌️ Up first is Parasol the parasaur, owned by "Polaris"! It's such a pretty design! I love the colours! : ) They looked like they'd enjoy a cool trip to the pond! ^^

I've watched Art Fight from the sidelines for a few years, but this time, I'm going to give it a go! :) Let's see what happens! :D

A little postcard doodle for @k-cookie-brooke.bsky.social ! Happy Birthday! 🎂✨ Hope the day's a good one, and wishing you the best for the year ahead! :D Lark and Mulberry are from @neomesopost.bsky.social , which released an animated short recently! 👀

Mid-2025 animation reel update! 👀 If you'd like a: ✏️2D animator (Toon Boom Harmony) 🎥Compositor 📑 Or are in need of production assistance Let's talk! :D ✨Bonus points for creature-specialist roles✨

5/5 animal life drawing pages from the zoo! :D Sleepy bears, lizards, and birds 💤 I realized afterwards the two sketches in the bottom right are a bit too close, making them look like one bird. Oops. xD One is asleep with its head curled over its back haha

4/5 animal life drawing pages from the zoo! :D Newts, lizards, tigers, penguins, cormorants, hyenas, watusi cattle, an eland, and a hornbill's skull! 📖✏️

3/5 animal life drawing pages from the zoo! :D I like how the bison and zebra sketches came out c: The eagle was striking some cool poses as it flew around, too!

2/5 animal life drawing pages from the zoo! :D It was nice to see the rhinos out and about this time. c: Rhinos, giraffes, hippos, sloths, tamarins, a couple macaws, a crane, a viper, and a kudu!

1/5 animal life drawing pages from the zoo! :D Peacocks, horn bills, turtles, snakes, rhinos, and a clouded leopard taking a nap! (The two lemurs were warm-up drawings from photos on the way to the zoo). The peacock sketches are my favourites from this page c: 🦚🦚🦚

I got a chance to visit the Toronto Zoo again this year, and get some animal life drawing in! 📖🖋️ It was overcast throughout the day, but thankfully only a couple minutes of rain. More doodles to come! :D ✨ 🦒🦚🦓🦎🐅🐻 ✨

Neo-Meso Post's first prologue short is out! 📬🦖 It's a very cute, colourful series; give it a peek! 💚 I had the pleasure of animating the intro and outro clips, and thought I'd share some behind the scenes / work in progress tiles of the intro for anyone curious! ✨ youtu.be/TAfrB2jk2rw

OUR FIRST SHORT DROPS TOMORROW!!

Congrats to Far Fetched on their Kickstarter success! It was wild to see how fast the funding goal was hit, and there's still 20 days left for stretch goals! It's always awesome to see support for indie productions. :D Rock on! ⚡️🎸🎶

Here are some side-by-side highlights of my compositing and FX contributions for ZeddyZi's "Ramshackle: Opening Theme"! As always, it was a pleasure to be a part of the Ramshackle Crew! :D Need a Harmony animator or compositor? Come say hi! 📬Contact card at the end! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT97...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! :D Wishing everyone a peaceful end of the year💖 I'll be spending mine enjoying all of the holiday baking, doodling, relaxing with the pets, and playing some Pokemon Mystery Dungeon :) ☃️✨🎄 See you all in 2025! :D

It's that time of year again! >:D +1 level for meeee! ✨🎂 Thank you to all of my friends, new and old, for making the past year pretty awesome ^^ You guys are the best :) 💜🐉 Have a summersaulting giraffe~ Hahahaha

✨Happy Indie Animation Day!✨ This lucky Crew-Dino got the honours of animating a title reveal! Mwuhahaha! >:D If you're a fan of dinosaurs or colourful critters, take a peek at what Neo-Meso Post is cooking up! 🦕📬🦖

Some more Planter doodles! :D 🌿🐉🌊 Made while I was considering how she'd move around! Flying would be an obvious option, but I don't think she'd be able to hold an aerodynamic form or lift off... She's free to "fly" through the water, though! :D 🌿🐉🌊

Rough animation's all done! :D ...and Planter's found herself under some wild accusations... 🌿🐉🌿 Planter was born with deformed hind legs; she moves around with her front paws, wing knuckles, and tail! Posing took a bit, but I'm happy with it! : ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjnz...

👻✨🎃Happy Halloween everyone!! 🎃✨👻 I had a blast animating a digital pumpkin carving this year!✨🐉 I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's carvings, costumes, and decorations! :D Have fun and stay safe out there, trick-or-treaters, party-goers, and explorers!

Felt like animating some fire FX! : ) Swoosh! :D 🔥🐉

I had a lot of fun with the last gryphon animation, so I made another one! This time I nabbed some audio from the 11 Second Club to practice more acting! c: Sticking with the roughs and lipsync for now; cleanup whenever I have time haha

📬Quest Complete! ✨ I made a little fan animation for NeoMesoPost's indie project! The world needs more dinosaur shows!! Haha I love the idea of adventuring post office dinos, and the official artwork is so vibrant and charming! Give it a look sometime! :D

I can share my rough animation contributions to Ramshackle's pilot here as well! :D It was so much fun to be a part of the film and work alongside such a chill team 💜 Congrats again to everyone for surpassing 6 million views on the pilot! :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQDL...

Look what platform has video now! Time to update! B) --- I was looking to do some animated acting practice then stumbled into the glorious sass in "Repress It" and had to start doodling! xD 🎶Audio is from Tom Cardy's "Repress It" short! 🎶 #2Danimation #handdrawnanimation #creatureanimation

I got some new markers and drew some big cats! :D I'm pretty happy with 'em! c: I think it's a nice change of pace to swap traditional art in between digital work ✨

Still waiting on Bluesky's video support for animations... xD But! In the meantime! I got to visit the Toronto Zoo last weekend and do some life drawing! It was a fun day! c: I did a page-and-a-bit of warmup doodles from photos, then off to the exhibits! :D Drawing cool critters makes me happy! ^^

Ramshackle has officially premiered! :D I hope everyone enjoyed the film as much as we enjoyed making it! ✨ I had the pleasure of working with the rough animation, FX, and compositing teams; I'll have some fun clips to share in the near future! :D

Ramshackle goes live in a few hours!! :D I'm so excited to be able to share what we've been up to for the past year! Aaaaaa! :D Here's a link to the premiere! www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1r2... See you there! :D

Some adventures going astray for Ribbit, Nyoom 'n crew! Lucky for them, Prickle Pup doesn't eat robots. Yet.

My riverside cat animation is complete! Yay! I'm really happy with how this one came out! : ) If you'd like to see the animation or progress from rough planning to compositing & FX, here's are the WIPs!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6-f... ---- 2d animation, handdrawn animation, cat animation

Migrating some of last year's work onto new platforms, weeeee~ Here's a rough 2d animation for Ribbit, as I tested how they'd handle obstacles, making the most of being able to function as a biped and quadruped! :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBBw...

Another WIP animation! :D This one is a sprint test for an african wild dog / painted dog; one of my favourite critters I've always wanted to try animating! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHAy... While it won't be done this year, I'll aim to finish the jumps, twists, and turns later next year. : )

It seems I can't post animations here yet, but I've got a WIP update to share for my cat animation: clean up and colour! Just compositing left to go! :D It's been fun working on a living background for a change! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DSM... Other WIP stages are on youtube as well! : )

New to Bluesky, let's see how this works! ✨ Here's my turn around sheet of Kiwi, the painted dog / african wild dog I shared an animation test of recently (on Twitter / Youtube)! I think I'm going to tweak some of the facial markings for expression clarity, but I'm happy with her design overall! :D
