Going up in flames.
Learning to control it tho.
Every flame by flame.

Happy Sunday exercise. Had the idea to animate a flame with somewhat solid clay-like shapes.

Feels like my head's on fire 🔥

So much going on in that skull of mine, so much I want to do. So much I'm already doing. Working my dream-job 9 to 5, figuring out where I'm gonna be after that one's over in a few months, sending applications, doing my own animating and sketching after that, spending time with my friends and beautiful, wonderful, supportive girlfriend @juliacskala , trying to work out as often as I can and then I got this really cool idea for a comic book that I want to make, but boy, who got the time? And even though often enough it all works out, sometimes it just doesn't. And that gotta be ok, too. With all the boosts of creativity, the motivation, the worrying, the excitement, the tiredness, enthusiasm and momentum, who's head wouldn't go up in flames? So on top of all that, I animated a burning head for you. Hope you like it 🫶

Fantastic 4th of April y'all!
Not gonna lie, the hype for this movie is real. Had to do a tribute to the world's first superhero family by exploring Mr Fantastic's stretchy powers. I love how that superpower is so goofy yet so cool at the same time.

Time for the most cheerful X-Man to shine. Here come Jubilee! ✨

@sarpserter and the gang produced this a couple weeks ago and, as usual, I animated the 2D FX for it. It was immensely fun going all out on sparkles and colorful vibes here!

Who‘s hyped for the X-Men returning in Avengers: Doomsday? And have you seen season 2 of X-Men ‚97? I‘m happy our sponsor MARVEL Rivals commissioned us to do Cyclops and his team this time. Animating that optic blast was hella fun 🔥

Annecy guys! A week of inspiration, hanging out with all my favorite people, floating around in the lake and watching movies. Looaaads of movies!!

Made this animated using TVPaint 12 Pro in collaboration with @tvpaintanim
You can watch it here, on their page or (the most fancy way): at the TVpaint Mifa booth! I‘ll stop by there on Thursday sometime.

👉 Swipe for progress and a cute picture

I will be around the festival anyway all week long! If you see me come say hi 🤙

Got a lot more to show you from our latest @marvelrivals promo! Watch Spider-Man (voiced by the spectacular @spacepadre ) swing and blasting through the streets of Tokyo fighting that massive Spider-Mech! It was such a joy animating all the 2D FX as always. In this batch of shots we have iron-spider thrusters, a big dust cloud impact, a web ball attack with massive impact, sparks and in the end even an ice elemental fox jumping in! That was especially fun, since it‘s been a while since I last animated a character. Missed it 🦊 ❄️

Have you seen our latest @marvelrivals promo yet? It features Spider-Man (voiced by the national treasure and absolutely spectacular @spacepadre ), Mechs and more. It was such a blast animating the 2D FX for it again. Especially the venomization of Peni‘s Mech was a personal highlight and total delight to work on🤘
