A screenshot of a job posting on LinkedIn for senior animators. Text reads: "We have a couple of projects that need extra support, and we’re looking for some contract animation help. The duration of these contracts would be six months. Senior Cinematics Animator — Experience with game cinematics and/or feature films. The focus is on keyframe animation, though some mocap work is involved. Senior/Principal Gameplay Animators — Experience with various gameplay systems and both keyframe and mocap pipelines. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out at contact@superseedstudios.com. Thank you!"

Superseed is looking for senior animators. Work with a great studio, great team, and fully remote! You might get to work with some of my rigs too 🤫

Overwatch and World of Warcraft art director Bill Petras has died Petras had a long and illustrious career in the games industry, mostly at Blizzard Entertainment.

RIP, Billy. What an amazing guy. He was so honest and true. Years ago, Billy gave me some great advice and was always happy to listen. Dammit. Cherish the time you have with people.

Yup! I’ll be sure to sign in tomorrow morning so we can talk :)

What are some loose topics you can think of that would be good for something like this?

What I’ve learned over the past few years of remote is that everyone is struggling but no one talks about it.

It’s leading to a lack of trust because people aren’t being open and vulnerable with one another.

Since we’re still tiny here on bsky, I’ll pitch you my idea for R&S2.
I feel that animators & the industry needs to connect. Now more than ever we’re all feeling alone.
I want to make it, like half animation feedback & half live radio call in show.
Topics, guests, live Q&A + animation goodness.

Congrats, Bre! Looks so cool, love the art style. Can’t wait to play :)

I’ve set up quite a few calls in the past few days with my leads & key people.
What for?
Simply to tell them that I trust them. That they don’t need my permission to make decisions & push for excellence. That even if they make a mistake I have their back.

I believe, that this is the way.

Ju Li, I’m serious. If you need anything or just want to talk and catch up I’m here for you. Miss you ❤️

Congrats Justin! I sure hope our paths cross and we get to work together some day.

Absolutely stunning Art Direction, man. Love it!!

Spirit Crossing | Official Game Announcement | Netflix YouTube video by Netflix Games

Spirit Crossing, the game I've been AD'ing at Spry Fox since 2019 just got announced!

A prosocial MMO where you connect with others to build and maintain a community while helping wayward Spirits in need;

I've been very lucky to work with this team on this game

youtu.be/RNGs3tLPaF0?...

I guess I'll join in too! #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Heya friends, I'm Joel! I'm the Principal Animator at Giant Squid working on Sword of the Sea! Wow, I guess I've been in game dev for almost 10 years now!

Not at GDC, but I gave a talk in the Tricks of the Trade a few years ago!

Big fan of dragons.

Congrats!!! Can’t wait to see what you and your team create.

Not really complaining, but my whole discover feed on here is cats.
Every so often a dog, which is nice too.

Starting early this month! Now to figure out the cycle part..

I know, right!? She's drawing constantly and is developing the eye and skill to capture personality with simplicity. <3

My daughter just handed me this drawing as she happily declared:
“Daddy I drew you!”

Honestly, I’m proud.

Happy Friday, everyone!

With GDC right around the corner, here's a shameless plug to help you kill an hour by watching my talk from the 2016 Animation Summit.

Overwatch Animation - How A Hero Is Mei'd

(Oh my god, its been almost 10 years...what is happening)

With the industry in a slump and money even harder to come by we wondered if we could help, in our small but unique way, by offering our services to those in need for FREE!

A thread...

I saw that too and wtf?
Ju Li! WTF?

Wait.

Wait wait. I’ve been real busy the past few days, but my wife just told me about the mice thing.

Transgendered mice!? He. No, he said this? With a straight face?

I can’t.

Oh my. I just. Wow I can’t. This would be so hilarious if it wasn’t so scary.

For me it’s silhoutte. no sillhoutie. UGH silhouette!

I said this to my team recently & feel it’s worth repeating here.

When you’re part of a healthy animation team you are never alone. Your peers help you refine ideas, push through blockers, & support you to succeed.

Building this type of culture on your own team starts with just one thing: trust.

Hi Erica! Oh boy, do I miss you. Hope you’re doing well ❤️

When Metalhead joined the team I literally yelled out through my stuffed up, nasty flu face METALHEAD!! Pretty sure my kids thought I was having a stroke.

Hi Friends, I was sick a couple weeks ago which allowed me to get some rest and(more importantly) catch up on some cartoons.
Don't sleep on the new TMNT show on Paramount! Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is definitely worth your time.

So great to see such expressive and fun #animation.

Hi Jonathan, I'm a bit late to the bluesky party, but would love to be on the list. Thanks!
