#3 of: In what had to be my favorite crossover IP with the game Smite. Here is one of the abilities for the character SunWukong which was the base for our TMNT crossover Donatello skin. This one seems simple & it really is very short cycle but the mechanics were very challenging to me at the time.

In what had to be my favorite crossover IP with the game Smite, I had the opportunity to be the point animator for Donatello who by no mistake also happened to be my favorite of the TMNT. #TMNT #Animation

a couple of years ago I worked on the run cycles for a Tier 5 Fenrir skin on Smite. This was particularly challenging for me since I was unfamiliar with quadraped runs and this one had a whole other rig attached to it for the rider, each one with their own secondary accoutrements. #animation

If you see this, quote your green art 💚 (Did a TMNT run a while back.)

On the game Legacy: Steel & Sorcery one of the characters you can play is The Hunter. A bow wielding baddie who has a specific move-set per bow type they can use. This one is for the medium bow and it's called "The Bow dance" I took some heavy inspiration from The Hobbit films' Legolas for this.

My baby girl is saddened by the lack of doggo frens on my feed. #doglovers #dogs #dogpics #cute #puppos

I hope Bsky allows us to add our own gifs before too long. Most of my animations are in gif format, but when I add them theyre just still images.

It's evident to me from my feed that the majority of my mutuals are cat lovers. As a cat appreciator, but not a cat lover I am saddened by the lack of doggos on my feed. Please help me rectify this. I'll start by posting my derp.

Doodlin’

Ohhhh, hmmm I'm quite tempted.

Giovanna, my TMNT OC. Little cutie patootie of a mutant. #OC #TMNT

Mutant Ninja Girltle. I think I'll name her after the renaissance artist Giovanna Garzoni. So meet Giovanna, or Gia for short. Also, this will be a good test for the new video uploads. #oc #tmnt

Skeb thanks!!

warmup study

Took this waaaay further than I originally thought I would. But I'm going pencil's down on this one because there's still 2 left to go and my son has commissioned another piece from me.

#TMNT #Fanart

I dont get alot of view traffic on my art here so forgive the long time between posts. I have been busy though. I did the TMNT with my own twist. Thumbnail color pass test which colors to use in final. Final will not be a group shot since they didnt get drawn together they dont really fit together.

Everyone has a professional they admire. One of my faves has always been the legend Joe Mad. I traced his sketch, then on my own tried to recreate it with as little reference glancing as possible. It aint exactly on model but I learned a little bit of the method to his madness in the end.

I did a study of Kim Possible (do you know that art style is actually deceptively difficult to reproduce?) and decided to go anthro with her. What would her name be as a fox you think? Kit Possible? Might draw Ron as a naked mole rat in the future.

I finished this piece tonight. I tried to incorporate some of the techniques I see other artists whom I find inspiration from their wonderful work like @foxpopvli.bsky.social @awd.bsky.social and @psicoyote.bsky.social in particular. I cant hold a candle to their render skills yet, but I'm coming!

This is my oldest character. he goes back in some form or another over 30 years and I think this is the coolest I've ever drawn him, prbly the most detailed I've ever done. I hope the four of y'all who see this enjoy it as much as I do. Bonus costume for democracy!

Last month the pin up poll winners were veronica and Cassandra wearing the famous chicken wing restaurant, eating some spicy chicken wings…. So here is it… least one version. You know were to find the other one

Aztec/Maya/native adjacent fantasy counts, right?

I found a brush for procreate which can mimic ballpoint and I did a drawing of my OC smashing a robot and I dont know what it is about ballpoints but they always add a certain style that cant really be touched by anything else. Reminds me of high school doodling.

This was my first ever commission. My 8yr old son requested a Nintendo universe drawing and he wanted it to very specifically include a Goomba and Birdo. So, I imagined this scenario and here it is.

Sometimes the best medicine is nostalgia.

Would that the stars align, and we get a platformer with these two as the stars. Daxter and Clank. Best sidekicks around!

Some of my latest doodles. Trying to gain a better understanding of the procreate workflow and what rendering style works best for me right now.

Woah, this profile is dusty. Let's wipe some of this off and give this a go. Who's seein this? I wanna share some illustrations I've been working on lately. But I don't know how this works here. Are there tags or smth? LMK.
