Hey, I'm not super late this time!
I've been asked for years to make a video on how I make my animations, but my style, workflow and tools were always in a state of flux. Every time I started, I would make a drastic change and thus make the video invalid. Now that I'm more or less settled on a style and workflow, it's as good a time as any to finally get it done! Thank you all once again for getting me to this point, it's insane seeing how high these numbers has gotten. I hope you learn something from this to help you along your creative journey, but be sure to branch out beyond what is shown and make something that is truly your own!
Made in Blender 5.0, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve

Huge shoutout to @Wunkolo and @Breil123 for their absolutely incredible VFX tools, you helped shape my art in more ways than you can imagine. Thank you for enabling me to get where I am today.
