Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of art directing and animating a Toonami ID for Adult Swim. The concept was simple but fun: Tom gets distracted and accidentally hits a flashing red button, setting off a zero-gravity chaos sequence. I really enjoyed blending 2D and 3D animation, experimenting with different techniques, and using Redshift’s toon shader to bring it all to life. I love how it turned out! This is the second Toonami ID I’ve had the opportunity to art direct.
Huge shoutout to David Rickles for turning my 2D-stylized Tom into a 3D model for those close-up shots!
