Probably my biggest video to date. I was the Director, Lead Animator, Storyboard/Layout/BG Artist, Character Designer/Rigger, Color Designer and Post-Production/Lighting/FX guy for this Cult of the Lamb fan-video:
My dream Partner
- likes fishing
- truthful
- likes cats
- knows how to use a toilet
- is okay with moral grey areas
- good listener
- must be a BELIEVER
- will never betray me
- willing to make some sacrifices
[DAY 1] First thing I took care of is design, so that going into storyboarding I could have a clear reference for characters, keeping sizes consistent and making it easier for the animation step. Puppet rigs were made early on, even though I ended up tweaking them later!
In the following couple weeks I'll be posting fun facts, insights and little behind the scene content and how some animations and shots were handled!
If you have any specific question or shot/background you want me to go over, feel free to ask!

Imagine if
@cultofthelamb
drops an update where one of the requests a follower can make is to leave the cult for a few days to go see their mom. At which point you can either let them go (and risk they never come back) or imprison them like Peter!
Some already know this but there was this one idea for a Button episode where he was gonna wear a PacMan costume. Was gonna look a bit like this

Excited for the things to come!

Grape nectar and fruit elixirs,
Hiccups and mixers,
A drinkhouse emerges, followers befuddled,
Brog brew flowing, in the Cult they're huddled.
Laughter echoes, in merry measure,
Clinking glasses, a festive pleasure.

[DAY 7] The Storyboard/Animatic was made with a certain workflow in mind. A lot of the shots are essentially already a full Layout, complete with camera movements and effects. Some shots even have fully established and timed rough animation!
Directing Scene 5 was really fun!

#AdobeAnimate
? ChaosTheory got you covered! This free plug-in created by yours truly and developed by
@Megacharlie159
can do many things and has powered all Backgrounds in our latest video!
[DAY 3] When it came to storyboard/animatic I basically merged the two steps and made it a Smart Layout. For this kind of scenes, for example, the camera/parallax and character motion was established prior, so I just had to go back and replace the sketches with the final assets!
There has been a lot of strain on us the last couple of days,
The team is still pushing very hard on the next major content update.
Hopefully, this little teaser will cheer some people up after all this shitty news.
DLC IS OUT!! Go play it, it's free! :D
I had the honor to work on in-game animations for new Follower interactions! What an amazing year this has been. Thank you all so much!
Did you know Button was gonna have a little cousin? Her name was gonna be Biscuit and she was kinda gonna ruin his life. This blurred image is all you get.

[DAY 5] Did you know? The forest was actually just made with a single tree asset! This asset contains 8 variations which are randomized in scale and flip to achieve what's essentially a modular 2D Forest. This was possible thanks to my proprietary plug-in ChaosTheory! Demos soon!
[DAY 4] These are some of the of corrections and structural guidelines I've made for the video- Unfortunately time didn't allow to really make a set of style rules, so we had to wing it sometimes.
Don't Mine at Night, aka main pillar of my channel is going down. I appealed to this explaining how we recreated everything, but I guess they're just clinging to the main melody. Guess going original is the only way now. Ah well, good ride I suppose.

[DAY 8] The burning forest was achieved with just a few simple fire cycles. I decided to go for a modular approach - Made the compiling much much easier!
shoutout to

for creating the fire cycles seen here!

has made for me, which made the BGs look as rich of detail as they are. Major props to her!
Get it? Props.

I'm excited to say I got to work on Cult of the Lamb: Doom & Shroom. Here are some of my favorite assets I made for the backgrounds with some drafting.

I use Rigs but they’re constantly treated with hand drawn parts and extended depending on the scene. I call them hybrids. Been doing that for years!
I’ve been stiving to make Puppet Animation look as good as possible with my current resources. I hope the result will be enjoyed!
Quick reminder since some peeps are doing that tired "hand-drawn > rigs" thing again.
We all have preferences but hand-drawn isnt the end-all be-all of animation. Some of modern-day's most highly-praised or beloved animations use rigged puppets w/ varying degrees of movement.
These were gonna be some of his friends/classmates.

All I want on this earth is to bring my characters and ideas to life, creating fun and wholesome worlds to make people laugh, feel, dream and hope.
For the past decade I worked, brainstormed, wrote, designed, animated.
I hope you'll be there when I'll finally have things ready.
These past four months I've been directing and animating a project with my biggest production value yet. It'll be ready in just a few more days and it's looking really cinematic. I'm incredibly proud of it and I hope you'll enjoy it!

Screw NFTs, you should just hire artists to design OCs and Logos for you if you want to own something unique.
I'd even give you a signed pdf stating you now own all the rights to the design.

That reminds me, the second short is still being worked on, we have other priorities right now so unfortunately it's kind of on hold, but it'll get done! I've also redesigned them, here's a character sheet! :D
Always wanted to be able to draw human/anime style.
It's been a long journey on this and I'm happy with where I am but it's really still just the beginning.
It's never too late to learn so long as you keep practicing.
