SCROLL FOR ANIMATIONS AND HOVER TO PREVIEW
'THE MAGIC TOUCH'
My latest animation (2026), using Maya, Adobe Animate and toon shading to culminate 2D and 3D into a new style.
The story follows Kimberly, a passionate artist and sorceress, who uses her whimsical witchcraft to create captivating artwork. However, when she receives a mysterious notification about artificial intelligence, promoting and revering about effortless methods to create in any way, shape and form, it challenges her view of art itself and sparks doubt in her love for it.
Now, Kimberly must confront the fear that machines could replace her, and realise that only she can truly give the 'magic touch' that her human, soulful creations inhibit.
'A SHIMMER OF HOPE'
One of my first 3D animations (2024) made using Maya.
The story represents sea-life, sea pollution and its effects on the world through Iris, a mermaid-human hybrid who climbs out of the sea to clean up the litter that people leave scattered on her beach.
However, she and the world must learn that saving the planet cannot be done by one person, needing everyone to come together to truly end the crisis, one piece at a time.
'RISE AND FALL'
My longest and strongest 2D animation, made in 2023. Made using Toon Boom Harmony, Clip Studio Paint and 2D rigging.
An animation which goes through Okoto, a tired, shy and gentle giant, making his way through his tiring, stressful morning, as he tries to see the good in it and remember why he should try in the first place.
'ROCKETEER'
A 2D animation I made in 2023 which I used to create a animated type of music video, using Toon Boom Harmony, Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop and 2D rigging.
Using music, I could describe and time the movements and actions of my character, Okoto, falling through the air, as well as using Adobe Photoshop to take photos I captured for the project, and make vibrant, glowing results from them to fit the scene and stylised appearance of Okoto himself.
