Went on a trip recently and doodled these on a couple of my flights! ✨ #sketch #characterart

Sketch of a female anthro hyena-dragon hybrid character in 3/4 back view, flexing one arm. There are smaller sketches of mouths and eyes around her.

Sketch of a beast mid-transformation into a fluffy dragon with ram-like horns, snarling and licking her upper lips on one side.

Got busy on The Legend of Vox Machina at Titmouse starting this week! 💃 (For anyone looking to hire, my availability now starts in November.) Decided to doodle this in my free time today as a sort of cooldown after the busy past few days. Not sure if I'll finish it. ✨

I don't get many opportunities to draw for personal art nowadays so I decided to sit down and draw for a while last weekend. Kinda just mindlessly kept drawing until I got tired. WIPs are in the thread below if anyone is curious. 🎨 - #animator #characterart #freelance

It has been brought to my attention that someone is scamming people via Discord using my werewolf animation as an "example" of their animation commissions. If you receive anything of this nature, IT IS A SCAM! I NEVER advertise my work that way and only do business via my official business email.

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

I posted this on my OWN accounts on X, bsky, Instagram, and YouTube. The only other person who has rights to repost this animation is the client who commissioned it. If you see them anywhere else, it is NOT me and I did not give permission to repost it.

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Really don't like that I'm having to resort to this lol Friendly reminder that just because you credit an artist in your description doesn't excuse you from reposting without permission. If the artist didn't say you could do it, DON'T DO IT.

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

It's not my place to say since this was a commission. You'll have to ask the client ( @kevincasas.bsky.social )!

110

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Also, out of respect for the client I will not be disclosing how much he spent on the werewolf animation. The document will provide just a general idea of what to expect when you ask for a quote, as well as any additional information regarding the commission process.

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Because I have so many emails regarding commission pricing, I am currently compiling a document breaking down what to expect when I do reopen an animation commission slot. I'll keep you all updated when that document becomes available. Thanks!

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Hey everyone! ✨ I've been receiving a LOT of emails asking about commissions. Here's a bit of info for you all for now. I'll post more updates regarding commissions later on when I have the time to focus on it:

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Be aware though, that I am employed full-time currently, so I do not know how soon I can take on another commission. This one was done during a few weeks of free time between studio work. (3/3)

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Rates vary depending on a wide range of factors (characters, complexity, length, deadlines, rough/clean/shading/etc). That said, I am always happy to discuss general estimates via email (I generally do not check DMs). (2/3)

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

To those asking about prices: I do not have my prices listed publically at the moment because they heavily depend on what each individual client is looking for! (1/3)

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Thanks! I always animate at 24fps on 1s and 2s (and sometimes 3s).

Had the opportunity to take on a colored rough animation commission for heyokjc (instagram) of a werewolf transformation! 🐺 I had SO much fun working on this. Thank you so much again! 💖 - #animation #werewolf #2Danimation #characteranimation #freelanceanimation #furryart #animator #transformation

Hey all you new followers! Did you know I also do a bit of compositing work? It's not a field I ever planned to be experienced in, but after so many short videos through Knights of the Ligh Table, here we are! Here's how I handled the Eyeball shot in the Frazetta commercial!

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Thank you! The rough animation for this project was done in Toon Boom Harmony, but other software were used for cleanup/color and compositing.

110

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

The roughs for this shot were completed over the course of approximately 3-4 weeks.

110

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Yep! They're all colors used to differentiate various light and shadows (core shadows, secondary shadows, ambient occlusion, bounce light, highlights, etc.)

❄️IceArtz❄️ (Maelene Naftzger) @iceartz.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Inbetweens for the slow motion section were done by Veronica Brodsky and Cindy Crowell during the cleanup/color stage. Direction, storyboards, and compositing were all done by @patstannard.bsky.social!

Huge shout out to @iceartz.bsky.social for helping clean and tone this animation with me, and for adding hair and reigns to the horse! Also need to give @sstarkm.bsky.social a big thanks for his amazing work at creating the 3d environment for this shot!

Storyboards - Final If I had a nickle for everytime I've animated a 3d camera rotation of a weapon wielding rider riding on a mount, I'd have two nickles! Which isn't a lot, but it's wierd that it's happened twice.
