Just a random rough animation I did the other day of my design of Allan from Smiling Friends! 🧀

I've done animation off and on just for fun as a hobby within the last 20 years! (I made my first flipbook in 2004!) I like to practice with doing these short clips to try and improve more at it! :D

AAAA WOW this is my first TV credit! Thank you to Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, and Aron Fromm for inviting me on this amazing show to design SQUIM! 🤗
I've always had a passion for designing characters for fun ever since I was a kid! It truly meant a lot to contribute a character to Smiling Friends!

Production art I did in late-2024 of SQUIM on the Smiling Friends episode "Squim Returns"! I just adore this character and I had so much fun drawing him! Once again, huge thanks to Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, and Aron Fromm for having me design this critter! 🤪
He holds a special place in my heart!

Star power! ✨ This 2023 #NASAWebb image shows globular cluster NGC 6440, a dense collection of old stars bound together by gravity. NGC 6440 is an intriguing environment to study because of its location near our galaxy’s central region. Credit: ESA, NASA & CSA, P. Freire. 🔭 🧪

Treasure Planet 2 (unproduced): The Centurion, art by Emil Mitev

It's all the more unfortunate that Treasure Planet didn't find its audience, as it was conceived as the beginning of a saga. A sequel was already in pre-production before being canceled a few days after the film's disastrous release.

About 1350 light-years from Earth lies the Orion Nebula 🤩

This stellar nursery is home to the Trapezium — a group of four young stars pumping out fierce ultraviolet radiation that is clearing the surrounding region and making the gas glow.

Six Ships. I'm very much in the Chris Foss school of thought when it comes to colour, rather than SW or ST.

From my research trip to Lake Mungo. What was once a great lake dried out tens of thousands of years ago, and is now a great baking basin and dune formation strewn with fossils, and signs of human habitation.
