Toy Gun Sketch

Synfig is running a new contest entitled “Reach For The Moon” to celebrate the most recent release.  I’m going to try to enter this one even though I have only two weeks to do it.  But the good thing is that the contest is really focused on the animation side, not the rendering.  So the [...]

GMNJ, #1

First page of my webcomic: Gods vs. Monsters vs. NJ.

The crate is almost done, I just need [...]

Crate for New Animation

This is a WIP of a crate using Inkscape and Gimp.  This is going to be used in a new 2d animation I’m doing with Synfig. Although Synfig has vector drawing tools, they are vastly inferior to Inkscape.  I used Gimp for painting and texturing. I’ll probably finish this off by adding some scratches and [...]
