Currently looking for someone who might be interested in voicing a cocky, laid-back spy who'll invariably present as either masc or femme (mostly masc) for short vids. Ideally I'd like to find a nonbinary/genderfluid VA who'd be comfortable in this sort of role. Any interested folks with VA rates?

Been forgetting to share completed commissions, so here are some OC’s I got to draw lately! All of these ladies belong to @lucionfrostburn.bsky.social and we’re a treat to draw. Get your own wing-it done up on my VGen, linked in my bio! #VGenComm

Did this loop for rad slime catgirl artist @soozyooze.bsky.social. Was definitely a fun challenge working on this, and actually pretty dang content with how she came out!

Character ideas for a project idea I've had for a bit now. Mostly playing with designs based on specialist roles within their team atm, but may want to try animating them soon, see how they feel!

Trying to dial in on a new fox thief OC by doing concept sketches for once and thought I'd share. Still trying to figure out what directions to take them in, visually speaking, especially because I want to animate them someday.

What if I just dropped a sale on my half-body wing-it’s starting tomorrow? Wouldn’t that be crazy? Wouldn’t that be a wacky sight over on my VGen?

Fan art of Ashelin from Jak 2 drawn on-stream, as suggested by a viewer. May make fan art wind-downs a thing on art streams going forward!

As-of-yet-unnamed cat girl chick I sketched up again on tonight's stream

010

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Did some pose practice as well. Couldn't decide what sort of characters or specific scenarios to work with these, so just left them blank. May open them up sometime for a stream to draw more folks.

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Thought I'd do some walking practice. Pretty content with how this one came out ngl

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Various OC's I got to draw on-stream yesterday. Don't know their Bluesky handles, but we've got: Rinigami, Sasha, Yuna, and Morph

020

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Started as a warm-up OC sketch, and accidentally ended up as a bit of a sketch page including creating a fox thief. Should probably think up names for these two at some point.

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Finished my first wing-it #VGenComm, and wouldn't you know it we got a lil spicy with it! If you'd like your own half-body wing-it, check out my #VGen here: vgen.co/SMIanimation

031

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Realized I'd never actually done anything for opening my #VGen store, so for the next week I'll be offering half-body wing-its at half off the price! If you'd like a half-body of your OC for $30 CAD, then head on over: vgen.co/SMIanimation... #VGenOpen

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Realized I’d never uploaded this piece for @rosiedreamva.bsky.social, based on the quoted art. Also happens to be her birthday today, so here’s to many well wishes and a Happy Birthday!

Pleased to be opening half-body wing-it comms over on VGen. If you'd like your OC drawn up like the lady below, head on over to my VGen page and let's make something happen! vgen.co/SMIanimation #VGenOpen #VGen

Rat type maid. Fanart for @nocteal.bsky.social based on an outfit design I sketched up.

Happy to say that I'm now listing animated commission services on #VGen! I'll be listing illustration services soon as well, but to start with, you can get your character animated to this motion for $200 CAD on my #VGenShop, linked below: vgen.co/SMIanimation...

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Recently challenged myself to try animating something quickly, keeping it sketchy rather than fussing over details, and this was the result. Audio from Book of Boba Fett, swapping in Amy Sedaris' role from BoJack.

Had a lot of fun with the last transformation animation I'd done, so had to another; this time featuring @purrestcat.bsky.social

Animation I'd done recently for a friend's birthday. Audio is from a Cameo a mutual friend and I got from Jon Bailey

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Gift I'd made for a friend last year as part of a Secret Santa. They don't have a Bsky but you can find them at critter.cafe/@blaurascon

What if slimecat @purrestcat.bsky.social but slimecatgirl with emphasis on the cat. Anyway here's a sketch I did while trying to troubleshoot my tablet

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Can't upload multiple gifs to one post, so here's one of three animation variants I'd done for @jenotypical.bsky.social. Definitely enjoyed getting to make these, and would recommend her streams! See the other two variants in the replies.

Krystal animation from a bit back, which I’d done as a practice in action motions. Definitely want to do a larger Krystal project someday

Just so it’s out there where I stand on the matter, but fuck AI “art”. You’ll never see me propagating or endorsing machine image or video generation. Support human creators and efforts, it’s not that hard

There's something I need people to understand. The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad. The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Wanted to make something for Halloween, so have a vampire girl!

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 23/09/2024

Did these last year for a VTuber called Kora Kurage, to be included as snippets in a music video. Still pretty dang content with the drum loop one ngl!

020

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 20/09/2024

Definitely one of my favourite animations I've done. Started as lip-sync practice, but had fun fleshing this one out, especially with a subject like @buffpup.bsky.social

020

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 20/09/2024

An older piece that I originally meant to make into a larger set of motions. Still pretty dang content with this rotating motion though, and definitely wouldn't mind doing another Supergirl thing sometime!

Tony | SMI Animation @smianimation.bsky.social · 13/09/2024

The mighty lioness hunts her prey. Don't think this was my first attempt at lip-synching, but it was the first time I did it ✨in colour✨

Well howdy do Bluesky's got video and gifs now! Time to upload!
