Josuke finds a weird cat medli20 2020-10-26 | Was thinking about the weird cat video soon after finishing Diamond Is Unbreakable and I couldn't not animate this.PS: I also have a webcomic. Please consider giving it a read ❤ alderwood.the-comic.org It's a fantasy comic about a wizard girl who accidentally teleports into a dude's house and it lands her a job. It's got jokes and action and Good Vibes™ if that's your thing :)Original audio by Michael Rapaport: youtube.com/watch?v=sJeuWZNWImE
When the bard has finally had enough medli20 2020-08-22 | Audio was taken from this video by Daniel Thrasher with permission: youtu.be/KQvXTRKvt5APlease go check him out if you like piano/music skits; he's fantastic at what he does!Software used:Adobe Animate(it's a garbage program though-- literally crashed on me over 30 times while I was working on this single animation, so please learn from my pain and don't use it.)
When your party only has one front-liner medli20 2020-07-07 | An animation based off the events of a D&D session. I'd already posted this to other social media first, but I figured I'd try adding some sound too.
Tezca: In The Shadows beta release trailer medli20 2020-06-12 | HEY GUESS WHAT I helped make a video game and it's out for beta testing! tezcaintheshadows.itch.io/tezca-in-the-shadowsIt's an itty-bitty spooky game made by a handful of university students and I'm very proud of it, bugs and all. If you've got any feedback or bugs to report, please leave it in the comments section of our itch.io page!Free to play on PC (RIP Mac users)PS it might give your computer a security warning but that's just because Windows is detecting an .exe from an unknown publisher whoops
Tezca: In the Shadows: Beta Reel medli20 2020-05-21 | Over the past year or so I've been contributing work to my group's senior thesis project: A bite-sized horror game called Tezca: In the Shadows. Now that the semester is over, everything is turned in-- but my animation professor really only wants animation work from spring semester to go into our demo reels. A lot of the work I'd done ended up being excluded by that parameter, so I figured it would be fun to compile it all into a reel full of beta footage.The game itself isn't quiiiiite done yet but you can view our website here: tezcaintheshadows.itch.io/tezca-in-the-shadowsMusic: Gymnopedies no. 1 & 3 by Satie
Yet another violin animation medli20 2020-04-23 | What can I say, I really really like my bard. This is one of my final projects before I graduate-- we had free reign over our projects this time around and of course being a repetitive nerd I decided to see if I could accurately animate another violin piece being played (courtesy of TwoSetViolin), but THIS TIME IN 3D.Source Audio: Beethoven Violin Concerto in D Major, 3rd mvmt performed by Brett Yang of TwoSetViolin: youtu.be/-9BgKpsSlBIRig: Modified version of the Malcolm rig by AnimSchool animschool.com/DownloadOffer.aspxbtw I mentioned that this was "one" of the last big projects before I graduate. The other one is a video game that I'm contributing to that's still in production. Keep your eyes peeled; it should be done in about a month or two.
Yeah I did it (final render) medli20 2020-03-05 | Finished product! For the past month I've been fortunate enough to be able to work under the guidance of animators from Blue Sky Studios through my school's animation program, and this is the end result. It was REALLY cool being able to sit through lectures and learn about their workflow and receive personalized crits for our work :) Anyway, thanks for being patient and following this clip's journey to completion. I'll be back to my regular schedule of not-really-uploading-anything now.Software: Maya 2018 student editionRig: Sam, by Gabriel Salas gumroad.com/l/gTdpb
Yeah I did it (polish + lighting pass) medli20 2020-02-29 | Nearly done! Addressing some criticisms, added proper lip sync, struggled with making the weight believable in the body mechanics, fixed some of the body shapes and readability. Added light and sound effects as well, trying to get a feel for how the scene is constructed. Next I just need to address a few more small crits I received today and I can render this thing out and make it pretty ✨Software: Maya 2018 student editionRig: Sam, by Gabriel Salas gumroad.com/l/gTdpb
Yeah I did it (spline pass) medli20 2020-02-19 | Spline pass. I had some issues where certain movements weren't reading properly in my blocking pass so I exaggerated that a bit, and I addressed some timing issues as well. I really only worked on body mechanics here, so stuff like the face and fingers will be addressed on my next pass.Software: Maya 2018 student editionRig: Sam, by Gabriel Salas gumroad.com/l/gTdpb
Yeah I did it (blocking pass) medli20 2020-02-15 | Apologies for 480p in 2020 lol. I figured it might be fun to upload progress shots of current projects to show you guys some workflow stuff. This is a shot I'll be working on for the next few weeks for my senior animation class-- we were given a selection of voice lines for us to animate acting/lip sync to. So far this is only the blocking, which is why it looks like there's hella frames missing-- I've got everything set to stepped mode to make sure the individual poses read well. This helps me edit the key beats since there's a clear divide between poses, and I don't get distracted by splined movement which would otherwise muddy things up at this point.

Tuning exercise medli20 2020-02-15 | This was a homework assignment I did last semester that I never uploaded. We were supposed to animate an interaction between a preoccupied human character and an animal character... though I guess tieflings are close enough lol.Software: Maya 2018Adobe PremiereRigs:Malcolm, modded by meNico
Offensive Magic medli20 2019-12-15 | A project done for school, featuring Korag and Brendan from a D&D group I'm in.

Uncultured Noise medli20 2019-09-23 | I managed to turn AnimSchool's Malcolm rig into my tiefling, so I did a quick lil' animation with him.Dialogue is taken from TwoSetViolin: youtube.com/watch?v=lQoC-uGS4r8Music is Seedy Tavern - Neverwinter NightsOriginal rig: animschool.com/DownloadOffer.aspxAnimated in Maya 2018.
Brendan Serenades the Burgomaster medli20 2019-07-15 | Audio source: TwoSetViolin's "Calling Random Strangers and Serenading Them with the Violin" youtu.be/uDeIAnMCeuA Piece: Sarasate - Introduction and TarantellaI've never animated a musical instrument before, so I figured I'd do some research and see if I could animate my Tiefling bard Brendan playing the violin. We've been playing Curse of Strahd lately and it's been a blast. (no spoilers pls) I started animating this thinking "this is going to happen sooner or later" since we'd been on bad terms with the Burgomaster of Vallaki for a while, but then it ended up happening for real before I finished. Animated in Adobe Animate (stop crashing please omfg)I used a program called Keyframe MP to study and mark the reference.Backgrounds were thrown together in Photoshop.None of this was rotoscoped, but in retrospect it probably would have been smarter to do so. Instead I just heavily, HEAVILY referenced off Brett's playing. The close-up violin bits were animated on 1s because idk why notMost of everything else was on 2s except for when I wanted to make it feel snappy.
Oh my god. Okay. medli20 2019-03-04 | Project for my dialogue animation class. Audio is from The Adventure Zone (Griffin McElroy). Software used is Autodesk Maya 2018. Rig: modified version of AnimSchool's Malcolm: animschool.com/DownloadOffer.aspx
Scout animations (Maya) medli20 2018-12-18 | This past semester, one of the ongoing projects in my Maya/3D animation class was to do some game animations. When I saw that Scout was one of the pre-approved rigs that we could use, I did the only logical thing.Rig used: highend3d.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/team-fortress-2-scout-for-maya

Receiving a gift medli20 2016-04-06 | Another project for class. We were assigned to animate a character receiving a gift. We were each assigned a different character from fiction to animate-- mine was Gregory House from House MD. Visual details have been omitted because the focus was to show personality over looks.

Art Talk: Lighting and Shading medli20 2015-06-04 | Whoops it's been a long-ass time since I've done one of these; I don't remember what to put here. Uhhh fun fact: the fuzziness that you get on cast shadows is called a penumbra and it's caused by the fact that light sources typically have quite a bit of surface area, all of which emits light.

Art Talk: Drawing from Observation medli20 2015-03-20 | Please note that this is a veeeeeery basic introductory video to the world of observational drawing.
