Drawing & Animation

I draw animated loops sometimes. Here’s a gallery of the ones I’ve completed so far:

Means Without Ends (1/20/2025)
Finished exactly 1 year after the previous one LOL. Wanted to play around with lighting and an arcade seemed like a cool fit. I also got to use a smear frame in one of these for the first time which is hype.

Night Walk (8/6/2023)
If this looks unfinished to you, it’s because a lot of the detail that I intended to add had to be cut. It turns out that animating a slow-moving scroll in perspective is incredibly difficult to keep consistent. This led even a small addition taking hours to draw.

Filter (4/12/2023)
My depiction of seeing the world through 2 different perspectives. I had already made the animation of taking the phone photo but I forgot about it for months. After randomly finding the project file again on my PC, I decided to build a scene around it.

Sunken Laundromat (11/19/2022)
My first attempt at an animated scene. When picking the underwater setting, I didn’t expect to be spending 8 hours drawing slightly wavy lines. Animating loops like this often time becomes one big test of patience, which is something that I experienced first-hand here.

Untitled (1/20/2024)
If you’ve seen basically any of my profile pictures, they’re all characters from the music videos of either Itte or Hitchcock (both Yorushika songs). I wanted to recreate a similar empty/melancholic vibe, so this was my attempt. I think it turned out well.

Canals at Dusk (7/13/2023)
Easily my best work so far. For this piece paid specific attention to colors, lighting, and composition. I wanted to add more people walking around in the background, but animating walk cycles in perspective was too hard for my current self.

Swingset for Two (1/8/2023)
A melancholic piece about being alone. Despite what you might think, the incident that inspired me to make this was an 11 game loss streak in League of Legends.
