Animation
Projects
These are full productions, from script/storyboards to final compositing, in which I worked closely with my client to realize and enhance their ideas.
You can watch the full music videos I produced by clicking on the images in the slideshow next to this text! There is also a selection of stills and drawings from the productions below.

Rough/Clean Animation
Background Work
For most projects I make backgrounds through a combination of CG and 2D. I start with 2D layouts or boards, then I reconstruct them in Blender, often intentionally breaking perspective and proportion, to make it feel more 2D. I then use custom shaders and overpainting to finish it up.



Revisions and Cleanup
Revisions (nigen), inbetweening and clean-up I did for small studios. My work consisted of reworking and putting the key animation I got on model and additionally inbetweening it and cleaning it up.
Illustration Work
Before shifting my professional focus to animation, I was doing commission work and creating character illustrations. Recently, the illustration work I did was mainly cover artworks for music releases. I'm coming back to more illustrative work after starting to attend Artist Alleys.
Teaching
In 2022, a couple years after graduating, I was hired by my former university to offer a hand drawn animation course.
I teach the fundamentals of drawing and animation and every semester my course is filled with beginners, intermediates and even people who just started drawing. I only have one lesson per week, to teach students as much as I can, so I designed a pretty packed and effecient course with a level system (because of the wildly varying skillsets) to give everyone all the tools they need to animate and also to continue to improve themselves!
I'm happy to say that my course is very popular and I regularly hear from the students how much it helped them.
