Smart Object messing
Was just double checking some smart object and displace approaches as my partner was asking how you do it. Typically you would use it for product photography but I ended up here.PSD files for the project and the displacement map is attached below.Thanks again!E
Oil Paint on Glass Animation Set Up
A few notes I made up for some students recently on the topic of oil paint on glass animation:Equipment & Materials:GlassYou can use a cheap frame to start of with while exploring the medium, but I would try and get one with glass rather than plastic, at least if you wanted to get extended use out o...

A quick wee card for a friend in work today
JSON & After Effects
Here’s the part 2 of the TVPaint > After Effects video.It demonstrates how to set up the JSON Panel in AE and import your TVP JSON scene into After Effects.You can see part 1 here: LINKI’ll have a more refined version demonstrating comp process using this pipeline with a character coming in the ...
TVPaint - CTG Colour, Camera & JSON Export Process
Since I’ve had a few students asking about this method I thought to record a little tutorial on the ins and outs of working in TVPaint and ways I’ve found to speed up things.Part 2 of the series will involve the integration of this footage into After Effects. I’ve already recorded the process ...
V-Day Timelapse
Showing how I went about making this illustration in Procreate.Music is City Lights by Holizna https://freemusicarchive.org/music/holiznacc0/Trying out a new approach to this kind of thing and figuring out the best ways to edit the Procreate footage. I might do some finetuning down the way for futur...
3D Travelling Camera AEP
Another demo I did with my students. this time using 3D camera and layers to achieve a bit more of a dimensional effect, along with some lighting in scene too.Attached is the project file for After Effects too.You can see the previous 2D moving camera project here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/7830...
Travelling Camera AEP
I did a rough demonstration on a looping BG for a student this weekFirst I did an adjusted layout drawing (above) to work better with this kind of chase scene set up, then brought that into AE to rebuild it with some fractal noise and mesh warp & power pin usage on the ground plane, then some simple...
Water Rabbit - Lunar New Year Animation Process
I’m trying some new things with my process videos.Here is a bit of a breakdown on the Water Rabbit animation that I posted last week.Hopefully my voice is clear enough with my accent and the like, but I wrote up captions for it too to help. I’ve also got a nice new microphone that will help some...
More Animals
A new batch of animals, some with jobs.Will be doing a run of new stickers in a lil bit.Also I am almost finished moving house, so will be catching up on the post packs at the end of this month!
Cat Soup presentation
A recent little demonstration I did for my students, discussing Tatsuo Sato & Masaaki Yuasa's 2001 film Cat Soup:LINKHope you enjoy!
Patreon Postcard
Before starting on Wolfwalkers in August 2018, I did a bunch of warm up charcoal studies, the above one of which featured in the art of book. I'll be sending out post cards with this study to post pack patrons in the new year.Thanks again for all your support and hope you can enjoy the festiviti...
Wolfwalkers 3D Drawovers pt 6
For the city scenes I used after effects to build the 3D environments, maintaining more a of a graphic diorama effect to match the 2D woodblock style, using a mixture of existing bgs made by Final line & Colour departments, while still incorporating perspective. This scene was cut in the end, though...
Wolfwalkers 3D Drawovers pt 5
The main 2D graphic style meant there wasn't any 100% accurate floor plan, so for Tooth Rock Plaza Daniel Pinheiro Lima quickly built a model, which we then tweaked scale and proportion to feel correct to the wolf's eye view and travelling camera, all while trying to match the shape language...
Wolfwalkers 3D Drawovers pt 4
Here are four more from another scene which David McDermott built in 3D, specifying areas to lift the leaf canopy, and open up the space where necessary.Once the environment was tweaked, I then finetuned the camera work to match performance and added scent trails in Blender.
Wolfwalkers 3D Drawovers pt 3
Some of the drawovers for the more elaborate deep camera shots required multiple 2D drawovers, showing the different segments as they are revealed. Here we have David's 3D first pass after we had honed in on the camera path.And then my drawovers on top of those same frames, trying my best to coo...
Wolfwalkers 3D Drawovers pt 2
My drawover on Daniel Pinheiro Lima's first pass using Blender for this scene, referencing the 2D environments from the same location and adapting them to match as we were intercutting between the two ways of seeing the world quite a bit. Most of the drawovers were very quick and simple.
Wolfwalkers 3D Drawovers
Have a few examples of style drawovers I did while working with Daniel Pinheiro Lima and David McDermott on the wolfvision sequences.It was mostly all about guiding the composition, so it still had a flow similar to the 2D scenes, despite having a moving camera.
Animation demos
A few little examples I made for a class introducing animation fundamentals to some illustration students: First we have an example of constant even movement. This kind of movement can feel quite robotic or unnatural. Next we have some deceleration and acceleration at the extreme positions. This can...

Cutout Post Pack Prints
Few more prints added into my wee stockpile to send out to the post pack and mini pack supporters.
Raven
A raven cut out. Measures 65x65mm approx
Dobhar Coiníní
A bit of animation I did last year.It's a 22 frame loop, but with a recursive overlap. I think the total frame count for the rabbit animation is 88 frames or there abouts.I might try and edit a wee process post of this, to show how I approached it if people are interested.
The Snow Queen (Print)
I did some adjustments for turning this into a print for my shop. It'll be part of the selection of A5 prints included in the post packs too!
Jim & Kermit print
Photographed and cleaned up the composite to make this wee print from the Henson and Frog cutout I finished over the weekend. You can see a GIF here showing the different individual photos I used to compile the final image
Kermit & Jim
I finished this cutout piece earlier during the live stream.You can catch part 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5V-yThQhCYAnd part 2 from today here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXtvMVIoobwI'll try an edit them down in some shape or form for a clip in the future, 9 hours is a good bi...
Henson & Kermit live stream part 2
Am working away here if anyone would like to join. I believe I have fixed all the teething problems last week with regards picture quality!
