Progress Update #102

Hello, everyone! 👋

Did you enjoy the Puss in Boots parody? Somehow I managed to keep that a secret the whole time 😂. Originally I was only going to animate the last bit, but Jack Horner's personality is such a great fit for Pekora that I just had to do more!

And I was not expect...

Jill Learns The truth - Animation

Man, I started animating this thing so long ago, I can't believe I happened to finish it on her anniversary. Or the day after... cuz it's already the 18th in Japan right? 🤔 

Anyway, it's finally here! I hope you'll enjoy it.

Progress Update #101

Well, things didn't go very smoothly this month. The holocats took longer than I expected to animate and I had to make a new rig for Pekora's face.

As you can see she's a bit chubbier in this anima...

Progress Update #100

Finally. Pekora has accomplished her evil plan and captured all of the holocats! I'm kidding, of course, there are many more hololive nekos out there. Eventually every single member will become a cat. 🐈

Progress Update #99

Hello, everyone. Sorry for the late update, I was dealing with some pet troubles last month and it really messed up my schedule. It's all good now, so let's start with a picture of a young Pekora enjoying some baked goods. Yep, her mom owns a bakery in this universe, and everything is carrot...

Progress Update #98

I'm working on this scene where Pekora is reminiscing about her childhood, and the camera pans to the side to reveal a gallery of old family photos. The picture above is the first one and as you can see I decided to make Bugs Bunny her father. For no apparent reason. It's not essential to th...

Progress Update #97

The Pekora face rig that I made for the short worked out pretty well! And I thought it would be a waste to just use it in a six second clip. So I decided to turn the short into a regular animation, with a proper aspect ratio and all (it's very frustrating to work in portrait mode :p). I...

Progress Update #96

A very late Happy New Year to all of you!

2023 is the year of the rabbit. So we're gonna start the year with more pekora!

Late for Christmas - Animation

Merry Christmas, everybody! Here's a short Pekora animation!

Progress Update #95

It was really fun to work on this! I love these characters and when you only have to animate a single basic action, you don't have to worry about any complicated movements and rigs, you can just focus on the shading and making sure everything looks good! I was able to make most Pokémon fairly qu...

The Food Chain

Progress Update #94

Happy Halloween, everybody! Nothing spooky here, unless you fear the pokemans.

We'll be taking a look at the pokemon food chain in this animation. From the smallest creatures to the biggest monster...

Progress Update #93

I've realized that I might have messed up the color profile settings on the project. Like the color on the youtube video seems a little bit washed out, or maybe it's just that the video compression doesn't look great on very saturated flat colors. I'm not sure. But the downloadable ...

Sana Animation!

Man, I've been struggling the entire past month with After Effects. The render times were brutal, it took 7 seconds to preview a single frame of Sana's kimono at 1/4 resolution. And I thought it was because of all the heavy effects, but after a fresh install everything got 6x faster. Just wasted ...

Progress Update #92

It's half-way done! I assumed that things would be faster with this one since I'm not doing any painting in Photoshop, but that's clearly not the case. These watercolor and stop motion effects are way too heavy for After Effects. I've had multiple slow downs, crashes, and I even lost a couple hou...

Progress Update #91

Sana announced that she is graduating this month. I was very surprised and sad because she is my favorite member from Council. She's also an amazing artist (th...

Progress Update #90

There's a "new feature" that was implemented into After Effects two years ago, but I just found out about it last month. It's called Tapered Strokes:

Something that I desperately wanted e...

Progress Update #89

Back in 2017 I re-animated the first episode for the 5 year anniversary of TBSP, and I wanted to do something similar with the Portal 2 episode for the 10th anniversary this year. Unfortunately I missed the exact date, but I still want to do it!

It's not going to be a complete recreation of...

Progress Update #88

The Great Mighty Poo kicked my ass

Here are the rewards:

Kabocha! - Animation

Sorry for the wait, everybody. This month has been a bit chaotic, with pets going to the vet and family members going to the hospital. But it's fine now! The animation is here and the updates/rewards should be coming this weekend.

Progress Update #87

Super Quick update! There are just two scenes left to animate, but there's still quite a bit of painting to do. I'm also experimenting with 3D a little bit, kinda like the Beef PC animation, but instead of 2D elements on a 3D character, it's some 3D parts on a 2D character. The ETA on the animati...

Progress Update #86

Tough times, everybody. Extremely tough. I hope all of you guys are safe and okay! I wish I had a new animation ready to cheer you up, but all I got, for now, is this short update.

After watch...

Progress Update #85

Korone is finally going to play Banjo again! She announced it on twitter last week and I painted this little image to celebrate.

Back in 2020 she was trying to do 100% completion on her first playthrough, which is crazy. Hopefully, she tries the 360 or the switch version this time around, s...

Progress Update #84 + New Animation

Happy New Year, everybody! The sequel is finally here! One year in the making... 🙃

When I started animating this back in December 2020, I said something like: "This is a little animation that will be done before the end of the year!" So, clearly, as you can see, things did not go exactly...

Good Night, Husbands of the World! - Animation

Oh man, these last few days were rough. But it’s finally here! I'm glad I finished before Christmas! Now I’m gonna try to finish that pixel animation before the year ends.

Progress Update #83

I mentioned in a previous update that I was having some lower back pain, so I finally went to the doctor and it turns out that I actually have a fractured coccyx. It probably happened when I slipped and fell in my kitchen a few months back. It hurt a bit and I didn't think much of it at the ...

Progress Update #82

Just in case any of you guys missed it, I made this illustration for Luna's birthday earlier this month. And the date of her birthday, October 10th, is the same day that FiM premiered in North America. So I decided to do a little crossover and paint the two princesses together! It would've been e...

Progress Update #81

Oh my god, you guys, the response to the animation has been so good! I'm really glad!

Last month I was upset that I couldn't finish it earlier, but I guess it does work really well as an October / Halloween video.

Our Lord and Savior, Lightning McQueen

Here it is! Sorry for the wait! Those bloop transformations took a bit more time than expected. Updates + Rewards are coming next week.

Progress Update #80

Wow, I’ve been watching and animating hololive for a year already. I can’t believe holoEN 2 is debuting soon. I haven’t even made a holoMyth video yet :p

But that’s about to change. Because the next one is a Gura and Ina animation! Well… kinda. Ina is actually playing another char...
