Unco-operative Llama

Another quick Natron thing.

Tilt-y doodles

Making some Clip Studio brushes that incoporate the new tablet's tilt feature. It's hard to really control, but it's nice being able to alternate betweent really fat lines and really thin lines, ba...

Jungle Bumble album art

Inspired by a concept piece by my sister Isabella, who's always helpful when it comes to song names and visuals.

New album download!

I'd like to say this is my first proper-ish album because I put some care into the presentation and mastering of these tunes. But they're tunes ranging from around 2013 to 2018 cobbled together. Ho...

Zoo and another camel

Cool Camel

I've been putting together an album of my Soundcloud uploads and some extras, even though I plan to revisit some of the songs in future. Although, some tunes I'm thinking I could scatter about in f...

Uneventful chill jam

Got the new music set up in working order (for the most part; some weird problems here and there) and acoustics still need sorting. But here's a jam I did with it!

More doodles

This is while I'm moving to another room and sorting everything out (it's a lot better than that photo now). I've modified a TWSBI ECO fountain pen to have a Jinhao fude nib instead, so it's a lot ...

You know, for kids!

I wanted to capture the look of a man who's spent 30 years watching executive filtered mass produced pap media, and another 10 criticising all film against that standard. (These are just doodles; i...

Needles, the Imp King

Commission for Thomas Brooks of one of his characters. He's an excellent animator worth looking up! 

(There's an alt. version to go with the stylised logs a bit more, with a flat backgro...

Falling Hare studies

As everybody's favourite celebrity animator recommends, I thought I'd give it another go. The idea is to build the drawing from the ground up, like the steps in the Preston Blair book.  I'm ce...

Assorted drawings

On a particularly prolific-nothing day, I drew a fair bit. I've also made use of a corkboard and started doing a storyboard the old fashioned, pinning drawings up, way. It does help, so hopefully g...

Cheapy Fountain Pen 2

Scribbly lines is about the extent of what I can do with this scratchy fountain pen, but it is rather interesting.

Coming At Ya in 3D ending tune continued

My sister had an idea for a melody so the ending to another tune has more or less become its own thing. This is also using the Behringer UMC1820 and "quiet" PC build which seems to be behaving now....

Heatwave Big Guns French House flip

I saw the video with the dancing turnip and felt like doing a similar thing in an hour or so (again still seething about that Behringer audio driver, I don't think the computer's to blame).

<...

Cheapy fountain pen

Duke 209 doodles.

For now I'm annoyed with my audio PC build; the "silent" power supply is resonating the case, and either the CPU isn't powerful enough or the ASIO driver's rubbish because I...

Scuuba Buuba

Another Natron concept piece for a cartoon idea from a while back I should revisit. Very close to what I have in my mind, but it takes so long for me to render previews, I can't really hone the col...

Natron Test 2

This time going for a grungy anamorphic look. It's hard to tell in this, but there's some lens distortion going on (like wide-angle anamorphics do). In After Effects if you wanted to do that to a s...

Bullwinkle jumping across the screen

But the imaginary camera "catches up". Did the scribbly bit during a livestream!

Banana Gulp Slip (Cough Into Your Elbow Mix)

This was made to unwind after making sounds like this during the few hours I was organising the past 7 years worth of files into a new hard drive.

A friend I showed this to referenced the AVG...

Powwitical cartoon

I guess it's political, starting off as a criticism on the government's original plan for coronavirus, but now I find it just funny to look at.

Natron test

After Effects is quick and easy, but there's a few times I've bumped into "oh you can't do that" and generally it's bogged down with lots of ancient effects and VFX stuff I'll never use. The layer'...

Patron drawings

I figured it'd be nice to do a drawing for patrons who have been around long enough to make a significant contribution over time. Waiting for a couple responses, but here's Seanatar's and Felicity ...

Bullwinkle rough loop and layout

The body will probably have is own layer. And the head singing, and hands strumming at different speeds, will be on two layers above that. That's going to be a mind-melter.

Hope something bec...

A goat

A doodle that ended up somewhat rendered looking.

Molesworth study

Hire me, Lupus films.

Searle Fox

With recent chatter about Ronald Searle surrounding the Molesworth film being made and his 100th birthday, I attempted to make a "model sheet" of the Fox from 'Six Animal Plays'. The problem I had ...

Test tubes and billy goats

This didn't turn out exactly how it looked in my head, but it's an exploratory concept drawing and I'll do more once I have some subject to tackle.

16 field 'scope graticule

Made a serendipitous discovery. My 12F 16:9 format (with the centre being 5 inches above the bottom pegs) fits horizontally inside my 16F 2.39:1 format, just by adding 2" each side. That should hop...
