I’ve been messing around with Nomad Sculpt. My daughter wanted me to make Sailor Moon. 🌙

The first episode of "Common Side Effects" is available for free on Youtube. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrJt...

Spidey!

Spacing some keys out and adding some spin to the hit.

Spent too much time trying to make the tools but I'm ready to really start working on this thing. Need to re-time pretty much everything. Going to add a little more terrain and deformers once the later part is in a good spot. Having fun with it so far. :)

night time 🟡🔴🔵🟢

Some more progress tonight. I gotta unlock a few translates to get some better poses but having fun with the rig. (Cool rig, Gaethan Bracke!)

Managed to finally put down some keys tonight.

A quick sketch of what I’m gonna try next. Just gotta find the time. 🙃

I think I finally understand how Python Class’es work! 😱 Only took, like, 5 years.

Last one I did in TVP I think

Going over my old files and re-exporting some old stuff to post here.

January entry for the 'Pose Cycle Challenge' created by @animturnbull.bsky.social. Feels good to keyframe again. Punisher Rig by Scaloso (animprops.com)

HANG IN THERE BABY!! #art

I decided to start over. This is way more stressful for me than it should be. Haha. #posecycleanimationchallenge

Love this. So dramatic.

This is amazing

Wife and kid are making cupcakes. This is me apparently.

A friend told me about agora.community/assets but do you folks have any other recommendations for getting my hands on fun rigs?

Let's do this. I've wanted to brush up on some animation outside the j-o-b so hopefully I find enough strength to churn stuff out this year. :)

Seattle: last chance (for a long time) to get loud with me before I move. ❤️ www.axs.com/events/82502...

some clothes study~ normally find this level of detail a little too busy personally, but doesn't mean there isn't something to learn from it, I had fun!

I’ve gotten a lot of questions/comments re: my character art style, so I made a little video about it. Spoiler: it’s mostly just painting. :D youtu.be/HGPyjYG4sak?...

I updated my animation demo reel for 2025. Ready for a new year and on the lookout to join a rad studio to make cool stuff with! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and safe New Year. 🎄

To the one person who bought my Storybook Maker for Kids book. Thanks! It actually lit a fire under me to get the storyboard maker out there and keep doing this.

I'm gonna shout out for Jon's (@sharkeatsman.bsky.social) ridiculously awesome album one last time. You should REALLY buy the album on his bandcamp page but it's on Spotify too (Compression Crimes 1). I'm listening to it tonight while I work and it's crazy motivational.

I can’t get enough of this Concord reel from @sharkeatsman.bsky.social . The music (also by Jon) is so kickass. Loved making and playing this game.

The Games Industry, a 2024 year in review 😊

Moana 2 spoiler? The scene where Moana is talking to Maui’s tapestry was incredibly well acted.

The creative process 🖌✨

Check out this monstrosity. Spent a few hours learning a bit about Procreate Dreams to see if I can do some storyboarding in it (I think I can!). Had a tough time with cutting and retiming frames but this was fun!

This perfectly captures the energy I want to bring into 2025. Made by Jon Weisnewski, the Lead Gameplay Character Designer at Firewalk. Also, great dude.

Video Game Animators, where you at? I've created a new starter pack and added a few folks to get the ball rolling. If you're a video game animator (specifically) then drop your handle in the replies. Reposts welcome 🙌🏻 go.bsky.app/88k8BgR

I don't have any reels put together for what I do on LEGO Fortnite, but I have also been doing some talks on animation in engine youtu.be/FdDgume4fTE?...

The kids drawings are getting so good!

Any of my animator friends put together a showreel of all the work they did on a project? Its nice to have all that work on a character/project in one spot. But definitely demo reels should feature your best stuff. Anyway... heres a showreel of all my anim work on 1-off from Concord.

Mika Mobile is back at it! ❤️ this game.

Some co-workers seem to remember Paul the Monkey the most from my DNA Productions days. I was SUPER fortunate to animate him for a few DNA logos. Voiced by the legendary story artist at DNA, Paul Claerhout! vimeo.com/tomsaville/d...

It's been a rough year for the gaming industry. Unfortunately, like the two prior. But the end of the rough news is hopefully in sight. I heard something positive today that gives me joy. I can't say what, but I can help spread that joy. Here's an old clip I made for Moss 2, years ago.

Remember REACH! I'm sure I did more work on this project but didn't have the sense to archive most of it. vimeo.com/tomsaville/t... PS Vimeo lets you customize your links. Pretty neat.

I just feel like dancing!

Always the most fun rig control to get working. (Link to rig below) #animation #rigging #mayarigging #gamedev
