And that's a wrap for Pokémon WCS 2025. See you next year in San Francisco!

I will be at the Pokemon World Championship 2025 in Anaheim for a panel to talk about the art of Pokemon Go! It will be my first time doing an artist panel at an event! 😮 I will be around Fri-Sat. See you there! 👋

Had a blast at Pokemon Go Fest New Jersey 2025! Meeting our players at the Meet The Artist tent with their amazing handmade crafts is still the biggest highlight for me. :) I'm bummed they didn't have a social tho, the Fan Rotom is 🔥! I gotta work on the in game special Volcanion Encounter too.

Tatsuo Nomura is one of the most talented people I have had the privilege to work with. He published a book about his journey of creating Pokémon Go back in 2017, and recently translated into English & Chinese. It's now free online, go read it! 😄 www.tatsuo.me/pokemongo/en

Studying

And the weekend is a wrap! My voice is completely gone, I'm still fighting to get it back. 😅 Thanks to everyone who came by the Meet The Artist tent too! Hope everyone enjoyed the new Victini's Encounter Screen. 😉 I had a blast with that one!

Haven't been able to join the Character Design Challenge for a while, but January's theme was too fun and I had to do it. I designed a character I could also use for my comic project. Here is Harold Baabosa, he can change into a Kraken and has a lil Octopus buddy. Writing him is going to be so fun!

Watched Flow in the Theater because I love supporting the smaller guys, the camera works had me spinning. I was very motion sick and am still trying to recover.😵‍💫 I hope their future film will have better camera movement, many of us are sensitive to it.🥲 The movie is otherwise very beautiful.

Looks like my friends and I got into the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in LA! 😮 Looks like we will be doing quite a bit of LA trips this year.

I made an Ekans roll cake, the perfect sssnack to usher in the Year of the Snake! 🐍💜 #pokemon #pokemoncake #lunarnewyear #ekans

Saw this on Reddit and had to reshare. Some pretty dope animated commercial from Fedex! Can't get enough of Spiderverse inspired animation. There's apparently a series of these. Wish this is the kind of commercial we see everywhere instead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaSn...

Goodbye 2024, Happy 2025! The last month of 2024 had many amazing light shows. Found out one of the Enchant Christmas Animals 3D artist's name is Katerina Bohatyr. Loved their gallery and highly recommend looking it up. Then New Year's Eve chilling at a friend's place playing some Board Games. ☺️

I made a little Holiday animation over the week! Happy Holidays! 🐰🥕⛄ Music Jingle by @thatmaestroguy.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfHJ...

Made a wreath at work with coworkers and decided to add Buneary to it. Didn't realize the Poinsettia look mildly like a Pokeball until later. 🐰

Private lists aren't a thing here yet so I might as well share this one: I've made a list of all of the animators and tech artists/tech animators/riggers/character TDs that I could find, across all mediums. Feel free to share, I'll keep updating it as I find more people! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Here are some life drawing studies. This is Bata, my ex-coworkers dog. They also happened to be my neighbors!

💙 Looking to posting more art here.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qPq... My favorite YT channel from Masahiro Sakurai just wrapped up. 🥲 This is a fantastic channel full of in-depth game dev knowledge. If you love Game Development, please subscribe and watch this channel!

One thing that has drawn me to lurk on Twitter a lot is the awesome Japanese artists and Pokemon fan art. Gotta fix this one. 😅 I don't have much to post yet, but maybe I will come around to posting old stuff.

I haven't been checking this site for a while, apologies for not following back sooner! I do my best to follow folks that I know/ have mutual interests. I'm probably going to try being active here more than X. Not that I post much there anyway. 😅

Hey there, Bluesky!

Hello Blue Sky. Thanks for letting me in without the Invite-only thing. 🐰
