Hello, soldiers! Thanks for keeping this machine well-oiled, as always.
Here’s a secret clip of a spaceship I animated last week. It took me 70 hours to do… ;__;
Let me know what you think below or hop onto the Discord.

Hello, members of the R-9 Hangar Staff!

Hello everyone!
Here’s another StreetFighter scene for you. These are rough keys of a Juri/Bison fight so you can see it before it gets the heads/details/etc added. It’s actually the fun part of the animation for me, before it gets bogged down in details and making sure the anatomy is correct ...

Hello everyone!
Here's a look at a fight between Juri and Bison coming up towards the end of the Street Fighter film. It's just rough frames, then the super super rough frames as you can see, but should give you a look into the process behind setting up a fight.
You can see how the timing ge...

Hello all!
It's a quick one, but here's a look at scene 4 of the Streetfighter film (see attached file below). No sound effects yet, but the voices are in (though the sound balance isn't polished yet). The final thing will of course have full music and SFX mixing by Zak and Joey.
I wanted to ge...

Hello one and all. I hope your Monday is going as well as a Monday can!
Here's a preview of scene 3 from the Street Fighter film. I might still clean up a bit of the shading, and obviously it doesn't have music or sound effects as yet (only the voice track), but take a look and see what you think!...

Good day to you all!
Here's a couple of finished shots of Juri (with voice and lip synch), as well as the animation roughs and the two backgrounds as PSDs. See what you think and shoot me some feedback! I think it could use a couple of extra blinks, perhaps.
