Pizzaguy!! This is the character for my upcoming short animated film about a pizza slice who is brought to life by this mysterious spherical robot! The robot then abandons him immediately, creating a portal and disappearing through it! He's not sure what he's doing, or why, or how, or what being sure even feels like actually. But he's alive now so he's darn sure going to do something! And that portal looks like a good place to go... Hope you like him :) * * * * #animation #pizza #art #conceptart #character #characterdesign #2d #robot #artstagram #oc #cartoon #instaart #pizzaguy #arte #digitalart #drawing #artistsoninstagram

I drew something for @thelineanimation #amaroandwalden competition. There's been some insanely good entries and they make some absolutely amazing films so go check them out! Their website: www.thelineanimation.com Thanks @jamess.avery for posing your foot for the background!

I put some shots from my animated film PINKGUY into Google's deep dream ai generator thing and this is the result. It's awesome! PINKGUY should come out soon, in fact it should have come out months ago but I wanted to make some edits and stuff so I keep delaying it.. bleh! I'll get around to it eventually but for now I'm working on a new film about a pizza that comes to life and that's got to take priority so yeah. * * * * #deepdream #generator #ai #3d #art #pinkguy #animation #artist #dystopian #artstagram #dream #style #instaart #wow #weird #render #bleh

Imagine if you had little people instead of hands. That would be pretty strange huh. Maybe they would be little versions of yourself, but probably they would have their own personality. Imagine if one of them was super grumpy all the time and didn't want to do anything. And what about when you were eating a donut or something, you'd have to share it with your hands. Oh god what if they could die?! Then you'd just have a dead guy for a hand or you'd have to get it amputated and give it a funeral and maybe another small guy would grow there or you'd have to get a prosthetic guy or something. If they committed a crime would you get in trouble for it?! If they get sent to prison then you get sent to prison! Ok but also what if they had little people for hands and then those little people have even littler people for hands and so on, it would probably be kinda hard to do stuff I guess. Would they all need phones? They'd definitely need clothes or else you'd just have a bunch of naked guys on the end of your arms. Oh god would they go to the toilet?! Would there be little toilets in normal toilets just for them? What if they were really horny all the time or something. Imagine if they met another hand or something and wanted to go on dates and you'd have to go with them. And they get married and want to have children. Would your hands be able to get pregnant?! What would be born? Oh god... * * * * #dumbest #thing #ever #but #also #pizza #and #god #ilovepizza #and #drawing #and #stupid #stuff #that #makes #me #question #my #existence

So hummingbirds are the best you guys. I saw one for the first time not too long ago and it was actually magical! They're so smol and it flew up to me and then hovered about for a few seconds before zooming off on its adventures. It was genuinely amazing, I'd never seen one up close before and it probably thought I was a beautiful flower or something which is nice so i love hummingbirds now and they're my bros forever and ever. Nothing to do with this drawing I did on my phone but I wanted to declare my undying love for hummingbirds and how super great they are and I had this thing so yeah. There you go. * * * * #hummingbirds #are #the #flipping #best #and #i #love #them #forever #in #fact #i #wish #i #was #a #hummingbird

Hey, so this pizza slice came to life, but life was super hard and stuff. So the pizza slice ran for its life, but however fast it was never enough... ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Poor pizza slice guy. He's going through a lot. He never asked to be brought to life and have to deal with all that nonsense. He doesn't know for sure but he's pretty well convinced if he hadn't been brought to life it would have been much better all round. And the only solution he has come up with so far to tackle the difficulties of being alive just isn't working. Pizza slice cannot figure out why running from your problems doesn't work when it very clearly should. Poor little guy... (I animated this quickly in tv paint using magical powers and secret secrets that are super secret. Pizza running animation is 24 frames and kinda wonky and stuff but it was just for fun anyway so it doesn't really matter that his legs do that thing they're doing that makes me hate myself. The background is something like 4 frames I think and then I made it do colourful stuff using more super secret magical powers and premiere pro a bit also. Then I put it on my phone and went to upload it to instagram and apparently it was the wrong video type somehow so I made it into a gif and then that was bothersome so I opened it up in an editor on my phone and did nothing and then exported it which lowered the quality and gave it a bunch of weird artifacts and stuff and of course instagram was fine with that so thanks a lot life for the entirely unnecessary extra steps there and the loss of quality on something already pretty questionable I totally appreciate it... Anyway now you too are burdened with this knowledge of things I did and stuff and will ultimately suffer the extremely concerning and DIRE consequences!!) * * * * #animation #pizza #running #cartoon #2d #digitalart #instaart #art #questionable #illustration #artstagram #pizzatime #pizzalover #pizzagram

Weird short animation I made on my phone while I was at Annecy waiting in lines for films and stuff.

So hey guys!! Just lately it seems like it's 11:11 a lot when I check the time. It's probably just a coincidence and like, just confirmation bias, right? I keep regularly seeing 11:11 anyway so I googled it to see what could be gleaned from the internets collective wisdom. As you do. And so after some research apparently it's some kind of divine interference from angels or something spiritual. It's a magical glitch in the matrix which means I have the powers to manifest my true self and become one with the universe. There are a ton of posts which say if you are thinking about stuff it is in the process of coming into existence. Basically a lot of crazy all over the place, just everywhere. Worrying insane stuff guys. So I decided to investigate this properly and get to the bottom of it. And so without revealing my sources I spoke to some mythical beings and they said when you see 11:11 you are connecting with the other versions of yourself throughout all time. As you all know every human throughout time is a single eternal time-travelling being experiencing each life one after the other forever, and is reset when a human dies so that it experiences the next life afresh. And as you will all be aware by now the universe we know and love/hate is one of countless other simulations and so 11:11 is pretty much when a glitch allows the entity to consiously experience previous lives in a form we struggle to comprehend as hosts but which gives our consious being insight into its true self. So yeah. Don't believe that mumbo jumbo other people will tell you about 11:11 because it's obvious nonsense. Ah ok actually I suppose it is kind of like a magical glitch in the matrix which means you have the powers to manifest your true self and become one with the universe. So believe some of the nonsense on the Internet but not all, maybe? Or believe all of it and mash together your own version from whatever you find? Or maybe just disregard everything and come up with your own ideas? Anyways this is a short animation test from my student film PINKGUY! He fights and stuff. * * * * #art #animation #toonshader #3d #3dart #maya #artist #digitalart #1111 #11past11 #pinkguy #film

Video I made to test out some stuff a ways back. I used motion-capture to animate a character i modelled and rigged in Maya, I made the timelapse and edited it so that it mirrored itself in premiere, then put it into Maya and rendered everything out! Heckin' good fun all round 😊 * * * * #art #artist #ntuart #maya #3dart #3d #adobe #pinkguy #timelapse #animation #animator #digitalart #video #abstract #abstractart #instaart #bizarro #weird #mocap #motioncapture

Some shots from the film I've been working on for the past few months. It's been one fun ride and I'm sad it's almost over. I really enjoyed experimenting with animation while creating these glitch sequences. * * * * #art #animation #abstract #glitch #artist #animator #ntuart #3d #3dart #experimental #film #digitalart #pinkguy #dystopian #psychadelic #abstractart #maya #premiere

Pray to this God if you feel like it and potentially all your dreams will come true and you'll get an ice cream. Equally perhaps death will rain from above and everyone you love will die a horrible death. Who knows. Maybe nothing will happen. Worship anyway ok.

I missed my bus stop because I was so into painting this I wasn't paying attention! 😂 pretty happy with how it turned out though so i think it was worth it. 😊 * * * * #art #abstract #abstractart #abstractartist #blackandwhite #illustration #painting #digitalart #digitalpainting #instaart #artstagram #arte #artist #artiste #artofvisuals #artlife #artoftheday #contemporaryart

I got my 'venomorph' print from the amazing @clem_alce framed! They are one of the nicest artists on instagram and have a really cool art style and you should go and check our their work now!! * * * * #venom #alien #hybrid #style #art #amazing #awesome #beautiful #arte #cool #artist

I tried to make a time-lapse but i don't think it turned out so good 😛 The camera moved during cause it was over a couple days and the battery also died at one point! The art is unfinished and spotty cause I did some of it off camera (when it died on me!! 😣) and it's just kinda blargh!! But I still think I'll try and do more in the future probably 😊 it's all a learning experience right? At least it sort of shows how I approach something like this, moving all around with no obvious plan just letting things happen sporadically 😝 * * * * #art #artist #timelapse #process #nottsart #abstract #abstractart #contemporary #drawing #cintiq #wacom #digitalart #Nottinghamart #artstagram #instaart #artistic #design #digital #gallery

My 3D Pinkguy! 😊 This is from the animation I'm working on at the moment. This Pinkguy here is just about to put on the mask which let's him battle another Pinkguy in a sort of deadly virtual reality fight to the death! * * * * #art #artist #3D #maya #ntuart #ntuanimation #ntudegreeshow #design #toonshader #pinkguy #3dart #3dartist #lowpoly #artstagram #Maya #animation #mocap #animator #film #style
