Here we go!
After a lot of asset building, test animations, artworks & learning a ton along the way, I'm finally working on an actual #CloneWars shortfilm!
A huge passion project & love letter to the show that made my childhood.

I'm on Bluesky!

Goodbye 2024, hello there 2025! 🥳🎉
Those were some busy 12 months:
• Worked on a LOT of fun and diverse freelance jobs
• Moved to a new city
• Met a ton of lovely people at conventions and attended @FMX_Conference for the first time (eternal thanks to @hranimator )
1/4
BUT! I'm as committed and motivated as ever & 2025 is the year I want to take some bolder steps to allow myself to focus more on #TukkTales, even if it means scaling back on freelance. In the middle of making some exciting plans & can't wait to share updates with you soon!

Thank you so so much for sticking with me and supporting my project despite the quietness (and me kinda sucking at social media lol)! It'll be worth the wait!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉
(And a special thanks to @LuisHumanoide for his incredible #TukkTales music used in this clip)

I don't think I'll run out of things to paint any time soon. 😄

How did I miss there's an Art Of Star Wars Rebels book?!
ORDERED!
#TheBadBatch next please! 🙏🙏🙏
Finally got my mitts on a copy of @danwallaceMSP’s The Art of #StarWarsRebels! If you loved the show as much I did, you are going to love this book in equal measure. And pick up the limited-edition version for an exclusive folio of Dave Filoni art! #StarWars
This looks so fun!!
Also reminds a lot of the Clone Wars Youngling arc, which at one point was planned as its own spin-off show & apparently was the last project George Lucas worked on before selling Star Wars. So cool to see a show of similar spirit finally coming to fruition!
On December 3, a new Star Wars adventure awaits.
Watch the new trailer for #SkeletonCrew and don't miss the two-episode series premiere, streaming December 3, only on @DisneyPlus.
As sad as I was back when #CloneWars got cancelled and replaced by this show, it won me over FAST. Star Wars in it's purest form, with an extra portion heart & whimsy, tied together by a smart & beautiful art style & music. What's not to love? Happy Birthday #StarWarsRebels! ❤️

Throwback to this render from 2022 (with slightly adjusted colors/comp). My clone models have all improved quite a bit since then (especially since I've recently revised all their textures), but it's still one of my favs.

A lot of people asked for Moss' reference sheet, so here ya go! 😁 Since he's just a background character, he only has a unique helmet and chest, the rest is standard Hill Company design. #TukkTales
This is Moss. Honestly he's NOT important for the story AT ALL and purely exists because I wanted some variation for the background Clones. Poor guy. 🫡

Time for another little sneak peek of the work-in-progress previz animation of #TukkTales, cause why not. 😁

Still alive! ☝️
Was just busy with moving to a different city, but end is in sight. 😵💫😌
Currently setting up my new office & planning a #TukkTales fan-wall where all the super cool stuff people have sent or gifted me at conventions gets presented in a worthy spot! 😍

#TheBadBatch is beautiful
Honestly the main reason I'm making #TukkTales is because I simply can't help it. 😂
#StarWars & #TCW had such an impact on me, I just HAVE to get this out of my system before I can go back to non-fanart projects. Also the artstyle is just too much fun! 😁 Trying to get closer...
...& closer to the high bar set by the official shows makes for a great training ground that helps me stay extra motivated to push myself as 3D generalist, animator & cinematographer, while exploring new workflows & trying things in ways...
