Chiron and Kevin

I’m so happy Moonlight won for Best Picture at the Oscars!!! This is an old sketch I did of Chiron and Kevin that I forgot to post here.

Jean-Luc and Meryl!!!

I drew my friend @kikimanrique ‘s cat children in the Wind Waker HD artwork style! Meryl just recently became Jean-Luc’s little sister, and even though she didn’t end up being named Aryll (the name I suggested haha), I thought this would still be fun to draw! 

They’re kinda the most painfully adorable cat siblings I know! 

Follow them on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/cattains_log/

3 Year Titmouse Anniversary!!!

Today marks 3 years that I’ve been an employee at Titmouse Inc. and a professional animator in the industry! I’m very fortunate to have lasted this long doing what I love, and hope to continue doing so! :’D

Nohrian Maid Isabelle

I wish I could recruit her from my town in Animal Crossing and bring her into Fire Emblem Fates as a Maid unit! Then we’d FINALLY be reunited! Sure, the town would definitely go to hell without her, but I don’t like any of my current neighbors anyway.

Fancy Rowlet

That leaf bow tie won me over.

Hoshidan Merchant Tom Nook

I think it would be appropriate for Tom Nook to be a Merchant if he was in Fire Emblem Fates. He wouldn’t let anyone take his money. He’d just snipe them with his bow, and then probably rob their corpses and sell their stuff.

Nohrian General Snorlax

Haven’t drawn something for myself in quite a while. I played a ton of Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest on my bed next to my giant Snorlax plush, which got me to thinking that he’d probably make an amazing General unit on my team!

Villager Smash Ball

I tried uploading this as one complete gif cycle as I made it to be, but the quality suffered tremendously, so I split it up here.

However, I also uploaded this to my Deviant Art, in case you want to see the full cycle version! :D

Majora's Mask 360°

Had some fun animating this 360° turnaround of the Majora's Mask! Hand animating this was pretty tricky, and the final animation definitely has its issues, but overall, I'm satisfied with the way it came out. I'll do better next time, though! haha 

I hope they release this game on the 3DS!

That Blue Shell.....

I meant to finish this a couple of weeks ago, but then some stuff came up. I had a break from work a while back and played a ton of Mario Kart 8! :D

Squirtle Pug!!!!!

I've been reworking this Squirtle Pug idea I had for quite some time. I was originally trying to make this an illustration, but after several attempts, I just wasn't satisfied with it. It wasn't as cute as I wanted it to be. It wasn't until I started making gifs that I realized Squirtle Pug HAD to be animated! lol Hope you like it! :D

My first Gif EVER!

I wanted to figure out how to make my own gifs, so I used this old animation cycle I did last year as a test. Now that I know how, I'm gonna try to post animation gif cycles as often as I can!!!

I've been really busy these past few months because I was VERY fortunate enough to land my first animation studio gig at Titmouse this past summer (THANK YOU Michael Moloney)! I animated on Metalacalypse: The Doom Star Requiem A Klok Opera. It was an absolute INCREDIBLE experience, and I was so happy to be apart of the team! I've met so many talented people whom I've befriended, and they greatly inspired me to push myself during this production! Thank you all for making my first experience in this industry one I'll never forget! :'D

I'm also so grateful that the studio decided to keep me around after this project for the time being! So I'm currently animating for another show, but I hope to continue posting some stuff here when I can. Although I'm definitely slowed down not only by work, but by the fact that I can't use my computer space at home because of a broken outlet...... So I can't even draw anything (digitally) for myself even if I wanted to for now.... though I should really try to draw traditionally more often anyway, though..... haha!
