Welcome to the Mind Palace is a concept animated series about a guy whose personality traits are "personified" as little people in his head. The Mind Palace itself includes everything from memories to life hacks to random stuff that happens. His "Sides" take on adventures of their own in His head, as he tries to go about his daily life.

Big thank you to Gaomon for sending me the brand new PD1900 Pen Display for review.
I received this unit for free before it released, and I made an animation using this tablet.

This is one of those scenes that I really enjoy making, especially with the subtle glow and shadows in the scene. It makes everything blend in much better than my previous attempts at anime compositing.

The flower Icon (Buddy) was drawn on a separate layer, and was keyframed separately from the main body in order to give some subtle movement to the scene (especially since they're indoors and there's no wind to blow their hair or clothes)

This is the first shot in the Huion review animation that ended up being storyboarded. I like fading in for the first shot, so it’s nice that I was able to include something a bit more cinematic this time around.

I originally wanted to add a logo on the box but I made the decision to leave it as blank so that it didn’t distract from the shot itself.

What are some of the "secret tricks" that anime studios use in order to get the most impact out of a few frames? (And no, the answer is NOT "impact frames", lol).

Check out this video we posted to find out!

Finally biting the bullet and creating character ref sheets that i am most likely going to keep for my series moving forward.

This will be the default design for Dreamer: comfy, casual, pretty much what I would love to nap in every day. They will still keep the lab coat design (still changing/updating that) for their working scenes, but for the most part they will stay comfy ✨☁️

I've been animating in Clip Studio Paint since 2018, and the timeline confused me for way longer than I'd like to admit. In this video, I'm breaking down the four CSP timeline features that nobody actually explains to beginners: animation folders vs cels, how to copy/paste and extend frames, timeline markers and labels, and transform keyframes. Once I figured these out, animating in Clip Studio Paint got so much easier. If you've ever felt like the timeline is fighting against you, this one's for you.
