Have you met all the familiars?
More Star Guardians means even more companion friends! But fighting all day is hard, and even Mimi and her buddies need some time off to relax and have fun!
Animated some basic loops for fun+practice and put them together for giggles ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
If you haven't seen yet, all the Battle Academy skins have custom homeguard animations! Here's the one I did for Lux╭( ・ㅂ・)و ))). Sometimes you wake up late for class and just you gotta go!

Texting is the easiest way to keep in touch with your friends...but it isn't always so simple! Depending on what Ezreal types, Lux will respond differently! (x3) Better be careful!

Final Battle Academia tweet! I want to thank everyone who worked on the skins! Was a long project involving lots of teams, but everyone put their hearts/souls into it (hope it shows)! 《《o(≧◇≦)o》》
Anyways..enjoy this low-budget OP I made celebrating my team and their work!

it was my first time animating a dragon (lots of overlap! >.<) :o she's a pretty old champion so i'm pretty happy with how badass the team managed to make her feel! 🔥🔥

hi star guardians! been slowly burning through my stack of backlog bugs (which we do all year round!); i normally don't mention most fixes but this is a bigger fix: sgahri's tail parametric turn tech was borkt, so i refactored it to utilize our more dynamic dragon/a-sol tech:
hai guys~
@Beardilocks
helped fix an issue with the mask animation for ruined karma! behavior is exactly the same as base karma (spinning vs no spinning), just visually altered to fit the mask feature
League has always had a snappy anim style, but anime pushes their poses and timing even further. I hope I was able to capture a bit of that Shounen spirit in some of the gameplay abilities that I animated for BA Ezreal!

nice jump landing anim reference. the way the overshoot breakdowns into the ready stance is snappy in motion but soft in the settle. rly nice combo. track the arc of the the sword and mulan's left hand. arcs turn into straight lines.
mulan also has really nice hair. just sayin'.
When your board loses to Silco does he dance for you? Naw-- He'd rather applaud you for your...effort

Many of you have noticed already, but Battle Academia Lux has a slightly updated run (to accommodate the asymmetrical weapon), new bones and animation for her side pony tail, and a KAWAII-desu key-chain ornament at the end of her staff! Who is it from? :O

Progression Breakdowns of skins I've worked on! They're short bite-sized vids showing the stages the asset went through. Hope they provide some value to animators and the curious!
Planning to post one every Friday.
Here's a preview!
Ever wondered what designing a Pulsefire weapon for Caitlyn was like? Here's a quick snapshot of how it went! All artistic/dev disciplines combine forces to make something possible!

Ah, it’s locked in! Thank you to all of y’all who reached out to me and all my peers/colleagues who are affected by this decision; please support them in whatever way you can. They really deserve it! I’ll also be on the lookout for new opportunities now. Stay in touch~ GG, all~
Minutes ago, we shared an important update with Rioters about the future of Riot Games. Here’s what these changes mean for our games and what players can expect from us going forward:
i forgot they showed this concept off during the livestream!

hi friends; for visibility i revisited

and changed back some of the custom anims she inherited from past skins (mainly battle academia, being her last 1350) back to base. this was a bugfix that i forgot to push. more context and details in the thread:

is Part B of Elementalist Lux!
These second tier forms have more exciting personalities, and their designs feel more mature and unique! Personal favorite is Mystic! :D

I also got to animate BA Lux's recall! Lux is strong, but like Jayce or Katarina so she while she looks cool spinning her staff, she still has to use her magic powers to pass her exam! Notice the nifty spinning texture that makes you think the staff is twirling super fast! :D
hi friends! hope you like the new Galaxy Slayer Zed skin~ i got no fancy GIFs for him b/c I've was working on other projects, but I helped out with some idles and runs :D

Jayce's weapon animates in cannon form now! I thought I'd help
@Regmisaur
get the word out since he handled all of BA Jayce's animations and he fixed the issue that was disabling the anims. The fix was put on all of Jayce skins so his weapon now won't feel like a statue! :D
