Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.

In Moss, Quill interacts with a lot in her world, but we didn’t want to slow gameplay. Most of her actions are quick so you can keep moving. But when she encounters something new? She takes her time, acts it out, and lets you see her personality. Like this! 🐭✨ #Moss #GameDev #Animation

I forgot how to animate for a few moments the other day... was the strangest thing. I had just finished my cube blocking pass, and when I toggled in the full character atop the cube, I just stared at it wondering what to do next. Luckily, I snapped out of it a moment later Anyone else hit that?

A lot of this applies to many creative + technical roles, and the second part of his response I think is why so many of us in animation and games etc make their job their whole personality: Whether it's healthy or not, that was almost required to get to where they are now.

Are blogs still a thing? the most promising seems to be Google Blog hosted from my own site to keep it contained. I'm looking for a place/way to produce more long form text based content on Animation. I know video/YT/TikTok are more popular but don't fit the way I'd hope. Lemme know!

For people who keep a diary or journal. Do you ever find yourself reading previous entries? I've only recently begun writing one over the past few months, and I feel like I'm writing on a conveyer belt. Just watching previous days drift away. Maybe that's the point?

Sharing my wing tutorial for bluesky people! It's light and focuses on propatagium, something that I often found missing when working on client designs. Lastly, check the Alt. text for some commentary. Hope it's helpful! #artsky #tutorial #art #wings #sciart

The image shows oversimplified and idealised wings. Great for some fantasy settings but the bone structure is totally awry.

This image focuses on the leading edge of the wing - the propatagium. It's a membrane that fills the gap between the wrist and shoulder, creating a nice aerodynamic shape.

Final image shows skeletal schematic of the flying vertebrates forelimb: the bat, the bird, the pterosaur. With a funny comparison to the human hand.
