Hi, I'm Alex! I'm a freelance animator/director out here developing independent 2D/3D animated productions! Business E-mail: AlexHendersonAnimation@gmail.com
Check out the full animated music video if you missed it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c4g...
This was one of my favorite bits of animation done for "Ultimate Sacrifice" First two landing shots done by @bigbadnickwolf.bsky.social and the nose lick shot animated by me. The idea came from our awesome board artist @87octane.bsky.social who storyboarded this scene
Bumping for the evening crowd, my latest animated music video was just released on youtube today. You can check out "Ultimate Sacrifice" at the link below! FULL VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c4g...
I don't know about the full thing, but I have the animated part that I did right here
I also got to see the intro animation I did fully finished. Was cool to see it in action at an actual concert!
I trekked all the way to Toronto to see my work on the big screen but some shit band called Alestorm was up on stage blocking the view the whole time. 0/10, do not recommend, pirate their music.
Made another WIP on this while in between a few music videos. Still have lots of polishing to do, including the line pass and adding smears, so any constructive criticism is appreciated. I want this to be the best it can be and nothing helps me notice errors like posting online it for all to see.
Ahoy all, I'm doing some promo animations for work and was hoping to show some WIP to get some feedback. This is a first pass on polishing and I wanted to get feedback before I go too far with it. I'm still fixing things but any thoughts are appreciated.
Hey all, if anyone following me has any experience with storyboarding fight scenes, I may have a small bit of freelance work for you. It's a short scene but if this sounds like something you're interested in then shoot me a message and I'll get you more info Email: AlexHendersonAnimation@gmail.com
I didn't really do an #ArtvsArtist for 2025, but I did decide to update my demo reel for the end of the year. Still thinking I might change some things around, so if anyone has any suggestions on clips to swap in/out feel free to tell me.
Actually this one might be my favorite, they were all fun to work on
A few years ago I did a bunch of stream idle animations of @superkrazybones.bsky.social , and this one was my favorite. Glad to see he's streaming again and getting good use out of them. Oddly enough the ocean waves were probably the hardest part to figure out.
Pictured below is me, as despite my best efforts, it turns out that I am continuing to age! But really I don't like to dwell on getting older so I'll just celebrate my birthday by thanking you all for supporting me and my work! I got my biggest year ahead of me so it is much appreciated :D
Rendered out some new animation for an upcoming collab with author Daniel Siceloff (www.dssiceloff.com) and his new book series. I've been trying to comp things to give off the vibe of an 80's cartoon. Still figuring things out, but I've learned some new tricks.
I've brought this up before but every project I work on has a shot that I call "The Nightmare Shot"... and this is one of them. It's still rough so any thoughts on how to improve it would be appreciated.
Rough character animation for an upcoming collab with author Daniel Siceloff (www.dssiceloff.com) I'm still polishing this so any thoughts on touching it up are appreciated as I'm feeling a bit stuck.
New Demo Reel time! Apparently today is #PortfolioDay (allegedly, I don't know how it works so don't quote me on it), so I figured it would be a good chance to finally upload my new animation reel here. Website: www.artofalexhenderson.com
Pose test for a new video I'm working on. Animation is still rough, just want to make sure he's working properly
I animated a crotch bulge for the first time because I thought it made the scene funnier. And I was right, it did make the scene funnier. I also finally finalized this scene, which means I finished a whole music video in 4 months, a new record!
More comp work for the animated video I'm working on. I'm still polishing things and what better way is there to spot errors then to post in online?
More animation that I'm working on! I want to add more skeletons now that October is getting closer.
Did a first render pass on the big-horrible-really-long-shot-that-I-hate-working-on. Still some things to fix but it's coming together... slowly but surely
This is the first project in a while where I've animated some new characters, and I wanted to take the opportunity to rework my animation pipeline from the ground up, as I've been a bit unhappy with my art style lately. I've tried some new techniques to give me more control over linework in comp.
T-Shirt design I made recently for Alestorm's "Killed to Death by Piracy" video
Long overdue character illustration commission of @bigdaddyrhino.bsky.social showing off his wrestling moves
Every video I work on has "that shot"; The one shot that is the bane of my existence, and for my next video it's this one. It's unrendered and I'm still fixing it up so any notes on what people think could improve it are appreciated.
Working on a block in of one of the more complicated shots I've got on my slate. If you have guys have any thoughts on how to improve it before I polish it that would certainly be helpful. Probably gonna leave this up temporarily just for feedback.
Unrendered rig test for a new character design I'm animating. I'm trying out some new things with linework that aren't present here, but should look cool in the final result, should everything go according to plan
First pass WIP of a scene I'm working on. Scenes like this with slow, gradual movement give me a hard time and I've been staring at this for too long to trust my own judgement, so any constructive feedback before I give this another pass is welcome.
