Hello, soldiers! Thanks for keeping this machine well-oiled, as always.
Here’s a secret clip of a spaceship I animated last week. It took me 70 hours to do… ;__;
Let me know what you think below or hop onto the Discord.
Anyway, I hope you’re having a grand week! I’d best get back to work, so I’ll see yo...

Hello everyone!
Here’s another StreetFighter scene for you. These are rough keys of a Juri/Bison fight so you can see it before it gets the heads/details/etc added. It’s actually the fun part of the animation for me, before it gets bogged down in details and making sure the anatomy is correct and whatnot!
Also, I’m...

Hello everyone!
Here's a look at a fight between Juri and Bison coming up towards the end of the Street Fighter film. It's just rough frames, then the super super rough frames as you can see, but should give you a look into the process behind setting up a fight.
You can see how the timing gets tightened up and more impac...

Hello all!
It's a quick one, but here's a look at scene 4 of the Streetfighter film (see attached file below). No sound effects yet, but the voices are in (though the sound balance isn't polished yet). The final thing will of course have full music and SFX mixing by Zak and Joey.
I wanted to get homages to the Streetfighter...

Hello one and all. I hope your Monday is going as well as a Monday can!
Here's a preview of scene 3 from the Street Fighter film. I might still clean up a bit of the shading, and obviously it doesn't have music or sound effects as yet (only the voice track), but take a look and see what you think! With the right music and soun...

Here's a few shots from the Streetfighter film. It's Guile and Cammy landing at a spooky airfield at night. I've attached the final render and also the rough version below, along with backgrounds and foreground elements if you'd like to take a look.

Here's a recently completed shot from the Streetfighter film. The finished shot and the rough version are attached below, and here's the (rather large) background if you want to have a look at my brush strokes at 100%! I had to draw this one pretty big, since the camera would be ...

Good day to you all!
Here's a couple of finished shots of Juri (with voice and lip synch), as well as the animation roughs and the two backgrounds as PSDs. See what you think and shoot me some feedback! I think it could use a couple of extra blinks, perhaps.
Paul.

It's a (really) rough 3D model I made, rendered out as lines and then hand painted over. The .psd files are included below so you can see how I did the lighting a...

I just got back from J-Con in Derby, UK, where I was invited to give a panel on "how to make anime from home." It went rather well (a pretty good turnout as you can see in the photos above!) and I had a lot of fun showing the TIE Fighter film and Streetfighter preview scene. People seemed to really like th...
