RIP Adobe Animate :-\ helpx.adobe.com/animate/kb/end…

Flash is one of the best tools for making game assets. I’ve been working in it since 2004/05. Adobe will shut down Animate on March 1st. Mood (ft. my colleague):

Trying to recreate and renew some character design concepts for animation. Three heads tall, long arms, short legs, big head. In flash, yeah.

Meet Mighty Kat. This is a very rough concept of a character who is strong both inside and out. Always positive, always happy. I don't think this idea will go anywhere - just another unfinished doodle.

When I design characters for animation, I triyng to minimalize and simplify character design in making it universal. And of course I'm always obsessing over the it. Lots of questions. 3 heads tall or 5? Chibi or classic? How long should the arms be? Perfect head-body ratio?

Sketch of a farmer. 2.5 heads tall. Yesterday's design was 2 heads, I guess. Thinking about trying to find something in between the two.

Just a bit of today's art flow. Sketched this guys while being stuck on some calls.

I’ve been playing Amanita Design games since the very first Samorost and been waiting for Phonopolis.

Found these guys I designed as mobs for my last asset pack. I like the dynamics, but I feel like I could have made them a little bit more interesting.

Updating some old assets to a standard isometric perspective.

Busy week. That’s why there's no progress on my personal project and only a Friday cat.

Sometimes I draw a fire elemental cat like this to use as an FX placeholder in animation, like with that gargoyle. And sometimes I like it more than the final FX renders.

The game I worked on as an animator now has a Steam page. It looks amazing! Add it to your wishlists please. It will help promote it. store.steampowered.com/app/4443000/Th… #madewithspine #gamedev

Just found an old tileset pack that I designed myself and never used. github.com/akylrum/Pages/…

Its doodle time!

Animated a little bit

Came back to props and tiles. For a long time, I couldn't decide what to do with it — I didn't like the concept before I started coloring it.

I have been working in Blender for about five years, focusing mostly on animation, lowpoly modeling, optimization and preparing models for small web games and playables. There were no task about render or composing. And today, I learned how to create dramatic lighting! =^._.^=
