Here's a piece I've done in tribute to Dragon Quest! Decided to participate in #Animchallenge 's theme for this month as I got inspired by the Level Up prompt. Higher quality version here: Thanks for watching! P.S. Can you spot the Metal Slime?

In anticipation of the release of Overwatch 2, I animated live on Twitch for the first time! This is a highlight intro in homage to the game; done in the span of 4 hours. Character rig is provided by the fantastic @OtyMark Thank you for releasing your work for use!

@SonnyBurge Hey Sonny! For this shot I wanted to highlight the sword choreography. I visualize the dynamics and rhythm in my head for a good amount of time. Afterwards i roughly stitch up references found online to make up the beats of the shot. Hope it helps!

All materials are playblasted directly from Maya. I use a simple (2D texture swap) driven key set-up on planes. Here is the tutorial I've used!

It’s been 15 months since I made the team liquid Valorant intro. Shortly after rival teams created their own 3D projects which were outstanding. But I wanted to go further. No longer is this about only gameplay it’s about telling stories too.

Some additional details and thought processes on my reel: 1. I pride on having interesting and different characters when it comes to a showreel, and at the same time have them look as if they are from the same universe (for aesthetic consistency)

@FramesByBlake I'd say it's not mandatory, but highly recommended. As a junior chances are it might probably take a year or more depending on the studio to actually have decent shots for your new reel. Set a goal by the end of the year to have 3 or 4 personal work and it'll accumulate to heaps!

@michaelCuevas27 I use auto scripts like Advanced Skeleton to rig, they're fairly easy to use. It trained me to not rely on the internet for already-made rigs!

2. Not all models are found rigged, so I picked up rigging to help develop (future) characters to animate in my own terms. I've spent a ton of time to source for unique characters. As an audience I would like to see a variety of characters
