Awakers Vol2 Trailer is out!!! Hopefully it’s up to the book’s standards.
Have to go back to SOME commercial work, but it’s due to dear friend’s request so it’s the right thing to do. Will only take 2 weeks so should be doable.
Planning 3 more offline exhibitions this year with Molecule, and I really want to look deeper into OpenCV library, that’d be really useful for us in near future, but can’t really promise myself that now, trying to avoid unnecessary overloads.
Just finished new project and our first together Molecule event, it became real after we saw the story about it on TV. Of course it makes a lot more sense to do it this way instead of just posting work online, but it takes a lot of effort. Still it’s absolutely doable and totally worth it! So, there will be no new work today, sorry, only offline screening so far.
Molecule b-day is today, so yay and yay!!! Amount of new stuff piling up so quick we can barely keep up. Trying to get our stuff screened in Paris, shipping artworks in galleries locally and globally, working with great curators, stuff is happening!
Got proposition to take one of lead roles in new teaching/production facility, pretty massive one, great opportunity to widen the horizons.
Animur 2023 is approaching rapidly, some of our works are already in, yay!
Planning to finish new work in 2 days, no idea when and how it will be screened.
Perfect moment to breathe out, before breathing in again. Yesterday was first public presentation featuring my work for Molecule, went really well! Tomorrow is the day the future starts! And it’s going to be big!
But today is just my lazy day, so please check out our new video: Promolecule
Sorry for radio silence, do check back my Instagram (@tomin.one) for more frequent updates.
With commercial work out of the way, made some crazy amount of animation in last 2 months. Can’t wait to share, but all in good time!
Meanwhile, painted a trailer for my beloved Awakers
Yay!!! Today is the beginning of a new era: I’m an artist at wonderful Molecule
Can’t think of better way to jump start new year!
Next stop: Top of the World!
New level of pointless and weird, please welcome my new work: Good Day
Yesterday would be the day I developed an official allergy for commercial work. What a loss for bourgeois world, haha! Maybe it’s temporary, idk?
Also I really don’t know what’s going on with fonts on my website and how to fix it, so I’ll just wait until the problem fixes itself. Worked with our toilet, so why not?
Ok so … 22? It was bad before, but we somehow pushed it further, huh? Well… it was an awful year, indeed, overall and objectively, but some of it was so amazing I just can’t help but be thankful!
Let’s hope 23 will give planet a chance to heal the wounds and come to the right mind. Art will be there to help.
Just finished another color-fur collaboration with Rokoteska! Please welcome: TouchyZoo!
See if you can figure out rules of this game, haha
Getting back on my feet, working on some new Tetris-like game for Rokoteska, just finished gameplay TRAILER for RUBAKA
Got myself crazy flu second time this year, but I’ll live.
Finished great collaboration with Art Molecule and Husky Dance
Slowly but surely RUBAKA is shaping up! It will probably be updated later, but it’s already playable, so please do check it out!
Industry is down, neural networks are up, thinking about maybe switching to CEL animation completely. Gearing up!
Oh here is my new work, it’s about what else you can do with the lines.
Partial mobilisation is officially over (for now), I’m officially still here, but who knows for how long? So let’s waste no time and do as much stuff as possible! Here is my new work called “4”
Tried to get back into math to understand neural networks better, it was a bit of a bitter reality check, math is not my thing, but it was partially fun so no time wasted!
Oh btw, my wife taught me how to knit.
Animur festival is over. Went great!
Also check: POW, my new work, most controversial over the years.
Got to of my works accepted to Animur!
Event starts 30th of September and lasts for 3 days.
Please check out my latest collaboration with local branding agency Husky Dance: an opener for Animur animation festival. It was quite a ride!
Also just finished another experiment called Dots (pardon the creativity) .
Best feature I ever had happened in my hometown of Khabarovsk, on local TV. This isn’t new, but deserves bumping up!
Speaking of hometown, almost finished animating Opener for a locally hosted international animation festival. Also submitted some of my works there. Stay tuned for updates on this one.
Last but absolutely not least: working on new game, working title is “Rubaka” (“Chopper”). Going really well!
When deadline pushed from 5 to 1.5 months you’ll be like …
Anyhow … we made it! The project is almost finished, client is happy, I’m happy and we finally figured out the way for me to get paid in civilised manner. Hard work pays off!
Started new personal project, stay tuned for updates!
Promised myself to try Blender out. And I did! It’s unbelievable how good it is, try it for yourself, start with famous Donut tutorial.
Here is what I came up with: Meditate Of The State
Got myself used Fujifilm X10. What a beauty! If only smartphone designers were as gifted and as brave. Great candidate for travel camera, this of course if we ever going to travel again. I hope we will …
Got together with my old friends to discuss new business opportunities. Let’s see how it goes.
Oh and please go check my new experiment: DeGrass
