Spoopy guy for my spoopy game. Moho rig – works real well even when aliased so a nice fit for my low res 90's style game!
Rooms are being stitched together... can now walk through the whole house almost. And yep, also back at developing this :D #indiegames #gamedev #adventuregame #retrogame
"Dating Advice" – Just a little something i made in Moho 😊 Audio is from "Conan the Destroyer" (1984) and features Olivia d'Abo as well as the magnificent Grace Jones. #animation #mohoanimation #illustration #drawing #art #indieanimation
It's busy in animation-land! Working on a little scene in Moho and also did a first, super generic crappy walk cycle in Umoupen to get to know the timeline better :D Happy that the animation software landscape is becoming more diverse! #indieanimation #animation
Took an hour to learn Umoupen lol… guess one advantage of being a 2D animation app nerd… Anyways, definitely one the competition should keep an eye on. 😉👀 Could get dangerous. Adobe Animate refugees with a focus on frame by frame should be really happy though!
Making a lil’ skit in @toonsquid.bsky.social and building old school, symbol based pseudo rigs for it! Fun! #toonsquid #animation #indieanimation
Finally got around finishing this guy. Really want to animate a walk cycle with him! Some animation would be nice for a change haha. #stopmotion #claymation
I learned how to make silicon molds tonight to make replacement heads more easily especially for things like squash and stretch! Apart from some leaks in my form, i it went surprisingly smooth! Exciting!
Still looots of smoothing necessary and he's missing his shoes but we're getting there... #stopmotion

Wonderful time in Prague and of course couldn‘t miss the opportunity to visit the Karel Zeman Museum!
Behold, my new Moho Animation Showreel! I am a full-time freelancer now offering animation and consulting services for all things Moho. See my new website for more info 👉https://joelmayer.io/services #animation #mohoanimation #moho #rigging #artist #art #animator
Fullfilled a life-long ambition on the first day of freelancing and finally set up a proper Stop Motion Studio 💘 Can't wait to make cool stuff! #stopmotion #claymation
More puppets in progress... still very rough but we're getting there. #stopmotion #claymation
Okay, re-sculpted this guy AGAIN but this time with the Newplast (HUE) clay... still kinda wonky in places but not tooooo bad for a first flat puppet... i think i'm happy enough now to animate him eventually. #claymation #stopmotion #clay #art #animation
„Oy!“ A new claymation character… i think i‘m slowly getting better at them 😅
Inspired by Oli Putland's way of animating rigs, i experimented with just animating a quick and dirty character on two's straight ahead today in Moho. Was fun and i like that it doesn't look tween-y. Definitely want to explore more into that direction.
A cut-out puppet making traditional animation, now i've seen everything. #mohoanimation #animation #moho #indieanimation
Doodled a second, more generic version just for good measure. Was fun!
Been playing a Monkey Island game for the first time in probably like 10 years and felt compelled to draw an Elaine 😅 #monkeyisland #fanart #adventuregames
Little explorer i made as a Moho rig for my website. He's gonna be the guide leading through all the things. #mohoanimation #animation
Some Moho rough (frame by frame) animation to start the day. #mohoanimation #indieanimation
Might be an unpopular opinion but soviet Winnie the Pooh blows the Disney version out of the water 😆 I like the grumpy optimism ( i don't understand a word he's saying but he sure sounds likea worker who knows what he's talking about) #animation
