Hey all, I’m still enjoying the holiday but I’m also in a super creative mode so I’ve been writing script stuff for an animated series I’d like to make, plus some other videos :) I’m loving how my story is coming together so far, it’s existed in my head for awhile now!

Hey all! Hope you’re having a good weekend :) I posted abt working on my animatic the other day only to realize my external SSD wasn’t being recognized by my tablet, and I didn’t really have the resources to fix it while I was traveling. So I’ll be back to working on it in a few days instead!

Amazing video on the texturing process from #indie #gamedev @bilsu.bsky.social . I love seeing technical videos like these! The video is super underrated, but so informative. These kinds of videos are an inspiration to new developers! <3 youtu.be/GfOz3sUgXzM?...

Like I just posted, this is already happening to MonikaCinnyRoll and it’s horrific. This isn’t just scary for artists it’s scary for the people you know and love. If this can happen to even small creator, ones as wonderful and kind as Monika, it can happen to anyone. Please leave #Twitter!

Adding tags so people see this! #Twitter #AI is already being used for revenge porn in the short time since its announcement, and it’s outrageous. My heart breaks for the - let’s face it - predominantly feminine-presenting and #female creators who will suffer from this. It’s not just Taylor Swift

Please watch this video from @monikacinnyroll.bsky.social, it’s so important. As soon as I heard of the twitter AI situation I knew this would be a tool for revenge porn and, as Monika clocks it, digital rape. This shit is serious and people need to be outraged at this youtu.be/nF87dKlaRgs?...

youtu.be/SdifPWQqmgw?... You should take a look at this video by creator Chasm, they’re super underrated and they just posted their first #devlog for this cool #indie game project they’re working on. I even got to talk to them about how they made a changing tide system using curves in #Godot!

Merry day-after-Christmas everyone! I hope your holiday season is going great so far. I’m back to working on the animatic today, before I take a break again this weekend. Cozy Kiwi Tunes dropped another amazing video game mix for Christmas so I’m jamming today :)) youtu.be/4ItC5hsHbiM?...

Gen q, how do animators get around the whole “listening to voice lines over and over” kinda thing? Especially when it’s your own voice? lmao I’m starting on an animatic and ofc the voice lines are important for the frame timing but god I don’t want to listen to my voice for 3 hours lol #animation

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL, I would’ve modeled you a present but since I’ve been busy, you instead get this cat video I didn’t make it but don’t have credits for it, I’m sorry 🥺👉👈 my friend sent it to me and it’s been living rent free in my head ever since

MERRY CHRISTMAS YALL❤️💚❤️!!! I got you this bigass video on standing up to greed and power and unfortunately I lost the gift receipt youtu.be/CtzSHVh0mgw

Hey yall, I don’t wanna miss a daily update so I’m just letting you know that there’s a chance I won’t be working on my animatic today. “How dare you not work over the holidays” ikik 😔👉👈 I’ve recorded multiple takes of the scenes + blender file is setup so everything’s ready to go otherwise :)

>be me, find out blender 5.0 updated their visual sequencer so now it can handle making animatics Wow thanks blender <3 >BE ME, FIND OUT THIS SHIT EXISTS TOO WHEN DID YOU ADD THIS AND WHY DID YOU NOT PERSONALLY INFORM ME IT WAS HERE H M M M B L E N D E R ? ¿ ? (I love you blender 🥹👉👈)

3D animation update for you all I took a break yesterday because I was exhausted all day and kept falling asleep (blame my lingering sickness), and then I spent today with some family before I travel tomorrow for the holidays. BUT ITS ANIMATIC TIME SOOOOOO….

I was doing some research into early CGI animation cause… hyperfixation, and I found my favorite video, it’s so funny and awful (in the best way) and I love it so much. youtu.be/jkv7NNKCXXo?...

This is advice I’ve been using literally all my life and the harder I lean into it the better of a person and creator it makes me. It got me through essays, helped me make game prototypes, and is the reason I can make my 3D animation right now. Literally universally applicable and always worth it!

OKAY YALL ITS HAPPENING We are almost out of pre production!! Script is dONE Storyboarding has literally <20 shots left and they almost all exist in my silly peanut as we speak, should be done tonight! Recording will be done tonight! Animatic is planned to take 1-2 days \o/ HOWDIDIDOTHISWHATTT:00

For anyone with ADHD struggling to work, this one’s for you :) Working on my 3D animation project has seriously been like practicing getting good at touching hot stoves. I feel so proud of myself every day, even if I’m not meeting my horribly high standards of quality.. youtube.com/shorts/3CdgH...

Good news! We’re about 60% done for the pre production phase of my 3D animation. Script: 20/20 Scenes (100%) Scene Planning: 16/20 (80%) Storyboarding: 11/20 (55%) Animatic: 0/20 (0%) - need to record script audio and finish remaining storyboards! Then throw them in CSP and adjust timing :)

Hey all, I think I finally finished the script. I realized in the middle of the night that I wasn’t happy with it and it needed some more weight to it. I removed some of the written parts in exchange for silent scenes where the animation can shine, and I rewrote the finale. I’m really happy with it!

Hey all, I took a break today because I was sick + I also needed a day off of adderall because I could feel it trying to kill me (again…). I did watch a couple animated movies and compiled screenshots of scenes I really liked the composition and color of, since that’s one of my next steps with…

I frequently send this kinda thing to @hotcyder.bsky.social for my thumbnails

It’s kinda scary to be making something I’m genuinely really passionate and excited about, because my brain only works in emotional extremes. My current hyperfixation will almost certainly turn into burnout, at an undisclosed time and place. I cant pick project deadlines, cause *thats* the deadline.

Me when everything okay all, I am signing off, my brain cannot work anymore tonight without the use of Adderall(tm) but if I take it I’m gonna be up til 5am and I can’t do that nOT aGAIN oK I’ve done that too many nights in a row. we need an insomnia detox.

A rare moment of a happy cat whose not offended by me working Nevermind it didn’t last We got 5 scenes done :) ….out of 20. okay so admittedly I did add 2 more with the script revisions I made last night BUT I shared the new and improved script w friends and they’re in support! We stay ambitiouss

Hey all, I got a ton of work done on my 3D animation today! Script and scene descs are mostly finalized, 2/18 scenes are storyboarded, I made a character model sheet and started on that model, and I got some prop modelling done too. Here’s one of the props I made - do you get the reference? >:)

howdyy I know I disappeared for a few days but it was not for a lack of art-ing. I actually wrote a script for what would be my first YouTube video! I even recorded it and planned out the shots, but I have to redo the recording for script edits. Script and shots are probably 80% done for planning :)

Hey there 👋 My name’s Jenji, and I’m an aspiring artist and a game development student. I’ve always known I wanted to be a game developer. As a kid, I loved creating creature designs, and thought I’d become an artist. Then I fell out of art and found a love in programming.
