Exorcising my terrible teenage art style from these old original characters.

Demos for an online art class. Talked about clothing, folds and wrinkles.

Time to update the demo reel! I'm available to help with all your 2D character animation needs. #animation #compositing #demoreel youtu.be/Yl2hDbIocPI?...

I've been selected as a ToonBoom Harmony Ambassador for 2025! I'm grateful for the opportunity. Stay tuned for more animation and behind-the-scenes stuff for Harmony nerds. #toonboom #toonboomharmony #toonboomambassador #animation #compositing

Art is insufficient. I don’t feel like a lark. Inspired by the last two tracks on the David Crowder Band album "A Collision". #animation #compositing #digitalart

Super happy with how this split screen shot looks. It almost makes me forget how stupid this project really is. #animalcrossing #toonboomharmony

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm David, a #ToonBoomHarmony animator and compositor. I'm available for work and commission. Check out my #animation #demoreel! youtu.be/w4V3WnwMjw8?...

Had a revelation today. I was wondering why the The Horton Hears a Who (2008) score reminded me of Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone. Then I realized that composition also belonged to a scene where a character is looking for a needle in a haystack. It was an intentional homage. Movies are cool.

Abandoned sketches.

Um actually the world is beautiful and you were created by a loving God to live a life of purpose and meaning, blessing and serving others as you would have done unto you. #factcheck

While I'm looking for a studio gig, I've been picking up some freelance work. Feels good to be working with other people again. Here's a looping space background I was commissioned to create.

The resting star, heralding the Redeemer. Song is “O Holy Night” by Kings Kaleidoscope. #advent #animation

Only the most skilled Toon Boom Harmony users can unlock the secret eldritch monster mode for rigs.

My proposal for the NFB Hothouse program wasn't accepted, but I had fun making the artwork for my pitch. It's going into the "Potential Future Short Films" pile.

Ahhhhh gifs. Thank you. Time to post animations.

Guess I'm not finishing this one.

You jerked his chain one too many times. #animalcrossing

The stupider a project is, the more effort I tend to put in. Excited to share this #animation with everyone once it's complete.

I want to composite film grain onto all of my animations from now on because it's beautiful, but the effect is absolutely destroyed by compression on every platform I post to. You'll never get to see it in motion, but trust me, it looks great.
