WM prew poster

Welp, lighting sucks, I know, my apologies. Interpret this as a preop preview of the model.

Poll about stuff

Henlo! I hope you all had a (reasonably) good Christmas!

So this whole month I've been working on the widowmaker character and the set of the scene (as seen on discord). I was hoping to push a poster before posting this pppoll, but it's just not ready to be rendered yet (maybe a days or two).
I need to get a head sta...

Next?

VENOM (Allison/Tracer animation)

Ahh, finally! It is done.
Could have been finished a month ago if not for the sound stuff + there was that one poster that took almost a month to make!
But I did not give up, I followed through and I've delivered. Timing be damned..
Far too exhausted to continue speech. I thanks yus for your continued support and I h...

Poster/update

A failed Embergen experiment turned into a heavy render. Happy Halloween!

..You know those times when you're in a que to a server waiting and waiting for a month just to get disconnected?

That's kinda' sorta' the storry with the sound design for this animation. Had I known for sure that my sound designer would be ...

Motion wip #3

Hello! *wave*
A lot more is done under the metaphorical hood despite how the wip looks. Mechanical stuff you can't notice without comparing with the same thing that doesn't have the mechanical stuff that I've learned to use in the past weeks (does that make sense?). I am closing in; The anim will be around 130 seconds.
...

Brigitte/Sombra thing

There has been no progress with the animation this month yet, I've been very into modeling this scene from scratch for the past 3 weeks (yes, even the tacos).. And I doubt I'll be able to make substantial motion progress in just 10 ...

Motion wip #2

My apologies, terrible timing.. I meant to post this a week ago, but completely zoned out. I could blame the heat, but nah.. been busy modeling a brigitte/sombra poster scene.. (may or may not be finished this month, idk, I wanna make this a good one.)
Nevermind the horrendous clipping, all will be fixed eventually.. One t...

Allison x Tracer motion wip

Heya!
I hoped to have done more before showing it, but there are things I need to do in parallel with it. Lots of moving parts that need to be in sync; I expect it to progress fasted once tracer is on the ground.
There's the hair aspect as well.. Working to get the tracer hair from the poster to be animatable. Ehhh, th...

PT

Would have done sooner, but then ran into problems as usual, and couldn't decide on lighting either. Long story short, Allison now has different hair, forget about the old one.

Thank you for your support and patience. <3

Just info

Hey! Popping in to notify the discordless bros that I'm hard at work at turd-polishing an animation thing which is around 1 min long and waiting for audio to be done. I believe I can get it done and published before the end of this month, at the time of this post - estimated probability around 95%.

A Vega pinup

I was making a bigger scene with 3 characters for a poster, but it was too big to be finished in time before this month's end, so I did this.. I hope it's acceptable, I can't afford to pause again.

Unfortunately I am unable to provide a motion wip at this time due to a specific technical problem which is very hard to g...

Handstand poster

*Discord request*

I will also post either another poster or a motion wip this month.. Or both! Maybe. (I'll try to do both)

RVKIN

Status upd.

Patreon paused, April pledges won't be processed.

March almost totally unproductive therefor I can't take any money (on principle).
I can manage with whatever savings I have left.
Head full of worry.. Really hope it ends very badly for putler.

If I don't post anything in the span of 30 days, I'm "biological...

Content management poll

How important do you think is the environment of animations?

I think I could get more done a lot faster if I don't get fixated on the surroundings and props.

Character poll

• First of all, I'm putting aside the solo "full monke" idea, like the hanging around poster, which has proven to be super boring and uninteresting to animate. Plus for it to work, I have to get a model of a full blown city and those cost a kidney. My concern is also with what the audio would be like.. In that kind of env...

Just hanging..

I'm sorry if it feels like I'm slacking. Even though I live 1,062.8 km from Kyiv (I'm in Riga), I still live next to the russhitian border and the last few days have made me very uneasy. (doscord copypasta)

I apologize if these images seem half-baked..
I've pretty much done nothing but sat in УНИАН - новос...

OC2 reveal! ("private screening")

Welp, technically still around mid feb.. Kinda rushed it, but looks reasonably good I think.
Way more effort than meets the eye, blah, blah, blah.
Without further ado, I present to you, batshit crazy Allison Jäger!

No immediate in-depth bio this time, I need the concepts to marinade a bit more.
(Loves to han...

OC2 progression

You'd think I would post at least a new poster or something..
Welp, I wanted to, but instead decided to put all 110% of my effort into this model (which I intend to use a whole lot when it's done). (pardon the horribly lighted viewport screenshot)
Feel insanely high levels of motivation inexplicably!
I'd like nothing...

Pharah wroom wroom

A request I promised to do almost a year ago, but then had my hands full.
Plus I didn't have a good model, the one I used way back was kinda terrible..
Soo now that I got sick of waiting for pbg to make the model usable, I fixed up my own.

I hope this is too your satisfaction, Larry. I keep my promises. ;)

Happy pre-New Year

I wanted to get this done since September. Priorities...
Clearly I had hair problems; This new render engine looks the same, but feels very different, need to get used to it again.
I still need to make a biker Pharah thing that's way overdue (don't think I forgot about you, you know who you are)

AEON (Vega/Brig <4min animation>)

Welp, here we are.. It is done.
Unrushed! I think. There are a few things you only notice in 60fps.. (specular flickering for example, something you only notice after compiling and go "fuuuuuck..")
Aaanyway... I hope it's all you expected it to be!

Wip#5 (final)

Henlo!

I have lost track of everything. As I'm writing this I don't know if it's day or night, I had to look up what day it is just now lol.

Ngl, this wip render is from a week ago and is outdated, don't wanna spoil the little things at least, but much more has been done since.

Ok, here's how things will be ...

Motion wip #4

All poster related stuff is now on hold until I finsh this, gadammit.
I booked sound design for mid November, I hope I have enough material till then.
For first 1~2900 frames have not changed, same as wip #3.

O

My version of the o pose or whatever it's called.. This was super impulsive and unplanned.
I need to set my priorities straight, I'm still juggling 3 unrelated projects (the anim, sauna poster, 2nd OC). D:
It should be clear there's no way the animation will be done this month, but I feel ok about november tho.. I've se...

When in Carcosa

In short: Never thought I'd actually max out my current hardware.. "12 labours of Hercules" to get this done lel.

I hate to go so long without posting an animation, I hope this compensates.
Sorry for the file sizes, these images are 16bit for quality purposes.

Motion+ wip #3

Hello.
You will never know the struggle of simulating the cloth between the body and throne, I won't go into the details, very rocket science.
You'd have to rewatch this wip many times to notice every single thing I've done so far, most things happen simultaneously.

Now then.. 2 minutes will not be enough to fit ...

Motion wip #2

Hey. 

To the point..

I sometimes get brain-farts (kinda like writer's block), times when I have no idea how to progress the scene, it happened in every scene I've ever made so far..

But this is the first time I got more than one. 

First I had no idea how to progress from 00:30, had no clue wh...
