Upon taking a new case, a bug detective encounters unexpected horrors. 🔎

Criminal Insecticide was created for a 7 day film anthology about bugs, hosted by @stemms_s

Animation and writing by myself
Title design and writing by @haylstout
Music and sound by @krasneraudio

Links to both the anthology and a higher quality version of the film are in my bio! 🪲

SO excited to finally share the proof of concept animation I made in @pvajra and @leanimation_ 's animated short film class through @warriorartcamp ! Vajra and Léa are both incredible teachers, and I'm so grateful to have been able to learn from them. (and, there are still a few spots in their next class session, super highly recommend!)
Huge thanks as well to @krasnerdesign for the amazing sound design!

There's a lot more to this story, so stay tuned for maybe some more shots/process in the future. Also, in case instagram destroys the upload quality, I put a youtube link in my bio!

Learning the hard way about cats and baths 🫧

Cleaned up this shot from @mikumis INCREDIBLE animation class ✨ she provided the cat keyframes and some lovely background art painted by @nachomalter - and we got to inbetween it and add something to chase the cat. Looking forward to cleaning up even more work from the class!

A whole bunch of gesture drawings from the past week! I’ve been trying to push the poses/shapes a lot, departing much further from just what I see in the model. Thankfully there’s an amazing backlog of All in Gesture sessions to work through! B)

Rough test animation of a chef mage flaunting her chopping skills! I’ve learned a lot by trying to put the character into motion and feel out her personality. Still a big WIP but I’d love to finish it up

Some concept sketches for a chef mage character thats been in my mind for a bit! Thinking about a world where cooking is a form of magic- some learn techniques passed down through family/culture while others may rigidly study the art itself.

Alice in Wonderland gesture drawings! ✨☕️ Catching up on a bunch of All in Gesture sessions I missed across a few busy weeks. Feeling rusty but working through it to prep for a 2D animation class I’ll be taking soon!

Slipping in a late entry to @calicos.cafe ‘s October art challenge. I decided to draw a few favorite Halloween costumes from my childhood, in all their oversized and taped-together charm! Feel free to take a guess as to who they are :)

Had a ton of fun life drawing at @9bcollective and @conceptartassociation ‘s drink and draw! Here’s a lil procreate timelapse from the evening in all its roughness
After over a year of doing online gesture drawing, it’s a real treat to get to do some drawing in person! Ended up sketching a lotta people drawing, since I couldn’t always see the models, but that’s part of the fun :)

Diner waitress gestures from @brightanimation all in gesture! 🍔 It’s always a treat when June is modeling
Something for next time: I think I need to start using a harsher brush to get more line clarity. The soft pencil definitely hides a lot of uncertain strokes
