The end of the last year was in the name of Don’t Starve. I’ve bought the new DLC Hamlet which is absolutely amazing and played Together with my friends.
During our play sessions I thought to myself (as the absolute narcis I am) “Wouldn’t it be neat to play as myself?” So I created character called Wade which is losely based on me. He’s basically just disfunctional college student who eats too much ramen and gets quicker when deadlines are coming.
I still have to figure out how to make it all work in game (and I don’t have time for that) so for the time being here are some of the concepts I made for him and summary of his skills:
Also I made an animation but the gif was too big, so I’ll post it later as a video.
So I’ve tried to put together every layer I have to see how it will work out. I still have to finish those backround layers and do some better coloring (right now it’s just different shades of the same color which is boring). But for now, this is functional version my students can use.
I haven’t posted in a looong while and that’s because I’m getting used to working as a highschool animation teacher and I kinda can’t get myself to do anything else (but I should!!!). So to let you know I’m alive I decided to share with you some WIP.
I want my students to try out multiplane so I’m working on a layered picture they can use in After Effects. This is just a small portion of the whole picture but when I finish it I’ll post the whole thing (and probably delete this post - if I won’t forget).
And since I’m obsessing about Elder Scrolls Dunmeri Lore again, I decided to make a Hlaalu Marketplace.
I and my friends (@bionomi and @mariburi) sat together one night and challenged each other to draw something from a TV Show or a videogame or just basically anything that the other person didn’t know. The only thing we gave our selves was a name and some minor clues or backstory. I was given a parasite from anime called Kiseijuu and this is my interpretation from the information I was given.
Some gifs from a short film I worked on for four days like two months ago. I didn’t have much time since then so it’s not finished (yet). So far it has alternate ending, that I actually hate, but it served it’s purpose.
Colouring was done by one and only @mariburi (she saved my life once again) but I kinda altered it now.
By the way, I listened to this song most of the time while I was animating so it kinda stuck with me and now I can’t imagine the first gif without it - it adds to that rural idyll.
Some reeeally old concept art and animation test for my bachelor film. Some parts of it definitelly won’t be used, some parts I want to change a bit because the script changed so much since the very first draft.
Some character design I made for a childrens book that I’m gonna ilustrate this year.

I’ve been animating for the past four days. I have minute and a half of animation and I had to cut my story short, ‘cause it’s due tuesday. But I’ll return to it after the deadline and do it in it’s proper glory. Until then have this gif y’all!
One of the last school assignments on character design and backround design with theme interior of a shop.
I wasn’t able to do this by my self on time so this is actually colab with one of my dearest friends, @mariburi, who did the colouring. Might I say she did way better job than I did. You should check out her stuff. She is actually behind a lot of my work, you just can’t see it - everytime I need to make difficult decision in animation or illustration, she’s there to give me her opinion. I might not follow it, but she’s there.. watching… always watching… oh god… those eyes… those haunting eyes…
Another school assignment, this time we had themes advertisement in city and rooftop.
I really do enjoy these, but I don’t have much time, so I’m making the colouring as easy as I can.

Trailer I’ve done for czech publisher for book Renegades by Marissa Meyer.
I’m actually really proud of this one - I feel like I’ve learned a lot about after effects and tried things in animation I have never done before. Like proper explosions and stuff (like butterfly dissolving into smaller butterflies - I bet I’ll use this one in the future :D).
