It’s better than not response at all I guess. Yes, but not for a while. I’m due to resubmit with new work soonish. How regularly do you submit work?

Cheers! I’ve lost track a bit myself. Yes, a little disappointing. But it’s just part of the process isn’t it. I wish they had time to give feedback for next time I submit.

This exact thing happened to me this morning 😅. It had been so long I was getting ready to resubmit 🤦‍♂️. Onwards and upwards!

Sure, I get that occasionally. My solicitor insists it’ll never stand up in court 😬

Reflecting back on 2024… I’m enormously grateful for the opportunities and support I’ve received and with plenty more on the horizon for 2025, I can’t wait to see what’s next! #ArtVsArtist #ArtVsArtist2024 #ExpandedIllustration #Animation #Illustration #Blender #MentalHealth

Which version speaks to you? Each version offers its own take on the seamless flow between light and shadow, conscious and subconscious. 🌓 Let me know your favorite in the comments: Monochrome (see previous post) or Color? I’d love to hear your thoughts! #Animation #expandedillustration #Poll

Day & Night, where light meets shadow and the conscious merges with the subconscious. Exploring the cyclical nature of our thoughts, seamlessly transitioning through the high-contrast dance of monochrome. 🌓 #Animation #VisualArt #DayAndNight #YinAndYang #expandedillustration #LoopingArt

Thanks @kittyz3d.bsky.social. Yeah, I’m going for a bit of a retro vibe atm 😊. I’ve developed a shader material that produces an airbrushed look inspired by Terry Gilliams Monty Python animations.

Brain Chatter 🧠 An animation test, experimenting with rigs in Blender. I made some good progress with this one but it was still pretty time consuming, with a lot of trial and error. #experimentalanimation #expandedillustration #blender3d #mentalhealthawareness

Yeah, rigify has tripped me up a few times. Getting a lot of errors. So I opted to set up a rig from scratch. If I get the IK’s playing nice, I reckon I’ll be on a winner.

Cheers! I’ll keep that in mind. Yeah, weight painting is pain in the ass. Think I’ve found a nice solution for reverse IK’s also. Should save me a bunch of time.

A sneaky peak at a work in progress. Rigging in #blender can be trick. Anyone got some tricks to make life a little easier? #wip #animation #chatter #mentalhealth

Stillness Elusive and fleeting Reflecting the endless potential of nothingness Revealed after storms and in between breathes Stillness is where calm resides Seeking solitude from the ten thousand things #experimentalanimation #expandedillustration #mindfulness #stillness

This piece is inspired by the natural changes that autumn brings and the grounding sense of renewal it offers. My goal is for viewers to feel a sense of calm and inner harmony, connecting with the positive impact that the changing seasons can have on our mental well-being. #autumn #leafs #animation

I stumbled upon a plane where microcosm meets macrocosm: A dance of order and chaos bloom in pastel perfection. #abstractanimation #cosmology #asabovesobelow #loopinganimation
