There was a batting cage near my hotel in Shinjuku that opened til late and I made the most of it during my trip. 36 rounds, 720 pitches 💪⚾ my hit rate was bad tho, probably only made contact about 20-30% of the time 😂

I might have the one Yōtei animation reel without any real combat in it. In the game I worked on, Atsu visits a wildlife refuge or something. 🦊 vimeo.com/1128002581?s...

Tried out woodcarving and it was fun!! Really challenging with the fine detail tho. Ended up with a rather unfortunately phallic-looking hibiscus after accidentally chipping away the second row of flower bits 🙃

Started watching Gachiakuta and I'm so digging the art style! The animation is impeccable, I hope it maintains consistency til the end Also ep3 comedy is pure gold 👇

I watched 12 Angry Men not knowing what to expect and hot damn, it was absolutely rivetting. Not a single moment felt draggy, the pacing and build up of tension was perfection. What an incredible study of character, each of these unnamed men were such distinct personalities!

Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement. If anyone is in need of a friendly, fast and heavily driven animator with a lot of games experience please do let me know :)

Finally, new animation! I started this almost 4(!!) years ago to practice animating on 2s & get more comfortable animating hands. This piece has taken so long that I don't know if I've leveled up, but finishing it matters more than perfection. Music: Pop Culture by Madeon

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.

the swamp of despair (from 2018)
A graph titled “The Creative Process” showing a cute pumpkin girl going through stages of making something. She starts out high up, “I just had the best idea!!!” and starts sliding down a hill “this isnt as simple as I expected.” She winds up in The Swamp of Despair (two skulls say: “this part sucks! don’t give up!”) She says, “this sucks, I suck. Why am I wasting my time.” She crawls her way out of the swamp “it’s not perfect but I’m going to finish” and crests the final hill, “it’s done??? I lived???” Finally, she walks away from it all, glittering with pride. “This turned out pretty good!”

Question for animators who learned Unreal Engine! Are there any courses you can recommend for people who know how to animate and make animations for gamedev, but don't know how to work in UE5 and blueprints? Please share some tips 🙏

but if you take either of those approaches - that players derive joy from communicating with the devs through play, whether it's beating their challenges or being led carefully through them - then it really highlights why a lot of gen AI in the game experience is just undesirable

Mickey17 was so much fun omg. Loved it! RPattz was seriously amazing, and I was also impressed by Mark Ruffalo's performance. Truly a representation of a certain few sociopathic somebodies. I also desperately need to adopt 10 of the bebe sluggies 🥹

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back. Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands. #art #tiger #resist #linocut
The image is digital art made up to look like a two color linocut print. It features a geometric twisting snarling tiger. It's flanked by the text "Stay Angry" and "Bite Back" that follows the contours of the tiger.
