Some old personal work.

We used this to test the rough line treatment that ended up in the Hyper Light Breaker trailer.

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

Its been a few years since I did any keyframe creature animation, so my most recent personal project has been exactly that :)

I referenced Daniel Fotheringhamโ€™s quadruped blog quite a bit while learning his workflow, it was a lot of fun :)

Shovin more metroidvania into my platformer. Added a charged up slide ability that can bust open and slide thru little grates where a normal slide cant. Works pretty alright as a knockup in combat too without havin put much into that side of things yet!

Multiple angles of a ceramic sculpture of a tiny sphinx against a white background, only a bit over an inch or 2.5 centimeters long. They're standing, head slightly raised. It has a silly, happy expression. Its brown body is densely packed with black stripes, contrasted by white wings, white tummy, and a white star on the nape of its neck.

Love the little hand mirror! Thatโ€™s a very nice touch. All their expressions are so cute too! Great work as always!
