Tweaked & expanded my recent piece "Surfin'" into a triptych! bsky won't let you post multiple gifs in one post apparently, so you'll have to see them all up close in my latest blog post: theworksofegan.net/posts/2026-0... (I'll post them individually too)

Man I love when I can get the timing right and just slip right in. I've only managed this twice.

Messing around with the new 3D primitives in After Effects, seeing how crunchy I can make things

Ok, actually. This is like the 11th revision at this point, but this is better. The eye now leads with its more complex animation, ideally increasing the likelihood people will actually see that rather than the much simpler blink. And the "iris" rotates to point in the direction it is "looking."

Keeping the gaming outlet branding exercise going with this logo animation for @jank.cool! (personal work, to be clear, and not my logo design) Had a lot of fun with this one, and I'm really happy with it! Also tried adding some sound design to this one (possible headphone warning)! #motiondesign

I also made this slower version that I think I might like better? Feels like it's building anticipation, like you can't quite make out what it says until it's fully formed.

Whipped up this logo animation for @aftermath.site as a bit of exercise! There's something about type animation that's so satisfying to me. #motiondesign

@critdistance.bsky.social think something might be broken with your RSS feed. Just realized I haven't seen a post from y'all in a while. Almost missed the fansite jam!

lil easter egg for an old pal

Screenshot of the What Else Is On website. A small reddish dot can be seen amongst the mouse cursors in the background.

More zoomed-in screenshot of the What Else Is On website. A small reddish dot can be seen slightly more clearly amongst the mouse cursors in the background. It looks almost like a bug.

Even more zoomed-in screenshot of the What Else Is On website background. The small reddish dot next to one of the mouse cursors is definitely a bug of some sort. But also an egg?

Do any trans folks want a free copy of Final Fantasy Tactics for the PS1? I bought a copy off eBay, then accidentally got a second in a lot of other FF games. Great condition, manual and all. Disc is a bit scratched, but only cosmetically. Tested & works. Free to a good trans home!

Trying to fix a particularly annoying issue with my CMS on mobile. On the left, the dropdown at the top displays as intended in my desktop browser in "mobile" display mode. On the right, it's getting cut off on my actual mobile browser. Anyone know why in general this might happen?

Tried my hand at recreating the "next hole" screen from NeoGeo Big Tournament Golf / Neo Turf Masters! Pretty happy with the results!

mike @theworksofegan.net · 08/11/2024

played neo turf masters for the first time last night and i am obSESSED with this screen. the gradients, the drop shadows. the way the text of "hole no. X" draws on, and then the stroke and drop shadow animate in. i have to try to recreate this.
