I am going to retreat from the UK news and focus instead on the adorable lil dog I saw wearing proper made-for-dogs sunglasses. You stay cool lil dog.

At last, I have found my people <3 wishes lengthy autumn/winters for all the folks replying to this post I feel so bad, every year, getting grumpy about summer. Its not a fun time for me and I frequently get given looks of 'how dare YOU' if I say anything xD

I shouldn't be trying to animate when its so warm, my brain is fuzzy. Anyways, revisited and then totally re-made a dino walk cycle I've been practicing. I know what I wanted to do, then did something different, but still like the result anyway xD He's got a determined stride. #animation #dinosaur

I feel like I've been working on basic thumbnail characters and backgrounds for ages, needed to check that I can still draw faces xD Always looking to improve, I need to sit down with the Proko timer and practice some stuff. #sketches #characters

I want to have a snazzy yet functional design for my website, and I'd love to hire a person and pay them properly. I don't want to attempt DIY solutions like Squarespace. Does anyone know where to find said people, and how much I need to save for it? #HumanMade #WebsiteDesign

This is the finished version of a sketch I posted some time ago. Happy with a lot of things, a bit indecisive about a few others. It sounds weird to say this but I finally feel like I'm getting more comfortable with leaving paint strokes visible, being more messy, etc. #EnvironmentArt

Persimmon Migraine. Which...weirdly...kinda works xD Also sounds like a good character name.

Currently obsessed by a book I saw in a Waterstones (not sure which) that I can't remember in full, except feeling like I wished I'd bought it when I saw it :/ Now I can't find it, lol. One of those 'I'll recognise it when I see it' deals. Haunted by a story I hadn't read yet.

Sorry to have to post this folks but I'm in need of some help, the company I freelanced for have done one & left me unpaid with no money to pay the bills, if you wish to support me I have a buymeacoffee account. No pressure but any help is greatly appreciated 🙏 buymeacoffee.com/Robotwig

This feels like a nice, resolved scene. A few of my recent pieces have felt a little fuzzy (I might have been too soft in the shadows) so I aimed to keep the shadows deeper and with more defined edges for this one. Happy :) #EnvironmentArt #animation #illustration

Big sad to find that 'Not Just a Goof' documentary doesn't appear to be on @disneyplushelp.bsky.social in the UK :( At least not yet. Hopefully it will be available here at some point.

The finished scene will have a lot more wow factor, but I still really like this stage too. I think I'm getting better and more confident in setting up a scene. #sketch #illustration #BackgroundArt

Can you use Patreon as a blog? I.e. if you put your blog entries under a free tier, everyone can see them right? Or would you have to still sign up (for free) to see them? #Patreon

So @mohoanimation.bsky.social is an incredible alternative to Harmony. There's a gap in the market for a storyboard app. If they ever felt like expanding their software portfolio, I know where I'd start. Just sayin' innocent smile 😇

Fred Aldous is a dangerous shop for me. Only went in for a starter set of gouache paint but also bought pretty new ink pens xD

I discovered that my Local Game Shop has some indoor bicycle racks, meaning I could cycle to their D&D evening sessions and not worry about my bike <3 I love stuff like that.

It's #PortfolioDay once more and alas I have no full portfolio to share, as I am busy making new things and falling foul of perfectionism, lol. But for now, I hope you enjoy this sample of environment concepts :)

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

Looking through some of the short animation exercises from my MA and I am still proud of this. Considering I had zero experience of animating anything at the time, I was chuffed to get a nice feeling of weight and force. #animation

I’m having one of those of days where my heart aches for something but I’m not sure what. I don’t feel particularly sad or anything, I’m actually feeling chipper in the sunshine. But its like maybe a false happiness, not sure. Or coping happiness perhaps lol.

Just finished watching 'Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy' on Netflix and good grief - equal parts depressing and rage-inducing. Probably not what I should watch when my head is in a weird space, but important. And now I tumble into 'Mrs Haris Goes to Paris' because why not.

I did not go through a traditional route into animation, and I am lacking first hand experience of even the basic exercises. So I am speed-running through them over the next few weeks lol. I'd eventually like to blog about this somewhere. In case its useful. #animation #AnimationFundamentals

This game has been around for 10 years...and I still haven't played it ;-; Its in my PS Plus library, I'm gonna get it for a few months and just binge the game.

No growth in the UK... ...at a time when the rich get obscenely richer, our politicians don't give a damn, and the world is dreary AF. GIVE PEOPLE A REASON TO GROW. Also - growth takes TIME and SUPPORT. Government is currently pulling all that support and expecting things to happen overnight.

The lil bat character now has a body and wings :) I had to go back and work out the body squash-stretch all over again but I'm glad I did, it feels better than my first attempt. #Animation #CharacterDesign

So where did this 'people only have value if they can work/produce something/etc' come from? Is it a capitalism thing? A society thing? Have we done this to ourselves? Because I'd like to stop it please 😑

Update on my little animated character. Cleaner lines and more consistency of shapes. Yup, I know there's lots of room for improvement, lol. I'll get there, just gotta keep animating. (Yes, I animate bit by bit, getting the head done before the body xD There will be a lil wave coming.) #animation

i still can't remember if we can post our own GIFs yet, lol. So have this veery short movie file that should loop a lil bit. A nice 2 hours spent just getting back into the swing of things. I need to fix several little things for the next tidy pass but I'll think about next time. #animation
