Oh look, it's #PortfolioDay I'm a freelance animator and work on my own stories in my spare time. Been testing the waters with comics recently!

Just the jaw tail idle because I like it so much. It has no will of its own, Lago just puppeteers it that way to look more intimidating.. #digitalart #characterdesign #oc #chibi #monstergirl #animation #animated #spine2d #madewithspine #2danimation

A must-watch classic internet cartoon, and the sequel DAD'S AT WORK has insane cinematrography.

Renders of Lago, Sif and Emil, the main characters of my story. They seem to be on some tropical island; what kind of unimaginable horrors could possibly await them in such a nice, sunny setting? Or maybe Lago is that horror, judging by her tail.. #digitalart #oc #characterdesign #monstergirl

Here's my steps in designing and drawing a new foe… though in this case it’s based on an existing one. I need to pose the foe a bit while drawing to make sure it can do all the poses I will need later. Original concept art was by @kmau in 2009!

Lago reference sheet for 2026! A young, monstrous girl with an adventurous spirit. After her tribe got abducted by a massive, unidentified flying object, Lago made it her life goal to aquire a spacecraft of her own to pursue them. A tall order. #digitalart #oc #characterdesign #monstergirl
A reference sheet for a pale, black-haired tomboyish monster girl with a peg leg, rabbit ears and a tentacle-like tail. The sheet features a character turnaround, various sketches of different facial expressions and explanations of her abilities.Page two of the reference sheet, showing her in alternative casual outfits. More sketches elaborate on her combat abilities and kanabo weapon.

I love it, especially when I only have a limited selection of objects to work with and have to come up with different arrangements. It's like a game in itself.

My glasses got foggy while cooking and this somehow spiraled into an entire new character idea I'll have to draw now, while looking back over my unusually big pile of unfinished WIPs..

My list of gripes grows the more I look at the remake, so I'm going to stop now. Still think they got the gameplay right, item menu aside.. arg, see? I'm starting again.

Naturally I'm a bit biased because the N64 Zeldas were a huge inspiration for me, but do a focus group test with these two Links and tell me which one turns out to have more appeal.

I'm positively surprised by the Ocarina of Time Remake, just not on board with the porcelain-doll look of Link. Lately, Nintendo tends to strip away the coolness and bite from the presentation of their protagonists, which is detrimental for games that are meant to appeal to boys, I feel.

Nothing wrong with getting a brief oldschool MMO fix before the revival peters out again.

Oh boy today is THE day! Please enjoy everyone's hard work for the Netflix eps. And if you can, hit those double thumbs up at the end of each ep. The more we get, the higher chances of getting even MORE dubs, like japanese~

Why does it feel so good to let things spin as an animator? Character holding a pen? Twirl it around. Weapon attack windup? Oops, I made them spin the weapon..

That one time Sif applied to the annual Newgrounds hunger games. #makeaterriblecomicday2026
Sif is disappointed that she didn't make it into an unspecified competition. After checking the application paper, Emil informs her that it would've been some kind of deathmatch. Sif's shocked reaction implies that she didn't read that part.

The general consensus I've read was that nsfw doesn't need the bonus exposure from the frontpage since users will seek it out by themselves anyways, so staff focuses on developing other parts of the site.

I think this is a holdover from the Movie Portal. Due to popular vote, the daily top 5 movies would only consist of A-rated movies if they weren't excluded, so when the Art Portal launched a similar rule was made to keep the frontpage clean.
