What up! A lot has happened since my last journal post.

I went to the UK with my mates in the summer and then I went to Poland for two weeks with the same goons!

(I watched Yellow Submarine for the first time btw and I loved it)

Then I started my new job at Warner Bros as Board Revisionist on the new Looney Tunes!

Can't wait for you guys to see the cartoons!! I'm so excited!!

I also played FF7 for the first time on the Switch and I really really enjoyed it.

I did play the demo of the remake and even tho I'm stubborn, critical and picky, I did enjoy it. Just wish the new soundtrack managed to incorporate the synths. Kinda curious how the Jenova track will sound....

Speaking of synths, my good buddy Tommy made some rad FF7 remixes!

I had the honor of helping Studio Yotta animate the opening for Disney's upcoming show Amphibia!

Matt Braly, the show creator, is a fan of Newgrounds! Here are some quotes from his tweets.

All of my highschool years were spent watching Newgrounds animated content so working with @jakeganz and the rest of the @StudioYotta crew was a dream come true. I am going to be listing the scene credits for this thing shortly so hold onto your butts!!

Read the rest of his tweets if you want to learn more about the show and the opening! He's a super nice dude!

I'm gonna show my work here but please check out the work from the other artists! They did such an amazing job and I'm thankful I got to work with them.

https://twitter.com/SandraDRivas/status/1129517614043156481

I animated the last shot with @AtroxChobatsu and then @Kr3id cleaned it up. The rough animatic was boarded by Matt Braly and I drew clean keys of all the frogs first before splitting up the animation with Javier.

https://twitter.com/SandraDRivas/status/1129518887970725888

The layouts of the foreground frogs were done by @torpordust and I just animated them! Super cute designs!

https://twitter.com/SandraDRivas/status/1129519476620300288

Whenever I see that last scene, I get so incredibly happy. I can't believe our work is going to be shown on TV. This is wild! I had a blast drawing Matt's frogs and I'm even MORE excited that my roommate and one of my best friends @forosha is working on the show. She's such a perfect match for it haha

Outside of Amphibia there's so much to talk about like Pico Day and my interview but it'll have to be another time. I only wish I took pictures! I've been so busy with work and occupied with recent fun events, but I'm happy I got to show some of my work after so long. Stay tuned for more!

Alright back to work~

I'm really busy but I thought I would show some of my old work to stay active on this site.

Couple years back, I got to work with Studio Yotta and help animate some promotional shorts for the show OK K.O. on Cartoon Network. I think I showed "Enid's Bad Day" and "Barrels and Crates", so here's some work from "Power Up" and "Commercial".

Power Up was fun because I had Forosha do the layouts for my shots and I animated from them.

I think I only cleaned up one shot and she and Nicole cleaned up the rest. My memory is terrible...

I know Paul cleaned up one of my shots, and I got to clean one of his shots haha! He's been a great coworker/friend and I like collaborating with him.

That short was probably my favorite to work on. I always wanted to animate from Forosha's drawings.

I only worked on scene for the short, which turned into a collab.

If I remember correctly, Joel drew a couple keys, I animated and cleaned up, Niall colored the animation, and Jake animated and cleaned up the explosion effects.

But I think that was 11 shots I worked on in total. Still feels good to this day!

In regards to this year there's a lot more I wanna talk about like my interview for a documentary. Sorry I haven't able to post art or be active in general. Between the game and the pilot I have to catch up on (and also personal errands), it's been hard to make time to do anything else.

I have been animating! It's all just secret atm. I'm excited to show them soon!

Alrighty back to work

(edit: kinda editing this post since it got a little messed up)

EY! So... I might be using this account more. For real this time. I mean nothing will change. I'll still be crazy busy and absent hahahahaha

Anywho, lemme show my demo reel first before I get into detail

Alright, here are some of the projects I worked on since last year

Thankful to have worked with Yotta on these shorts! I'll make a seperate post eventually to show my animations.

I boarded an episode for a webseries called Too Loud last year and I JUST wrapped up another episode for the new season! Stay tuned!

Got to help Yotta again on these two really cool projects! They both came out great!

A huge thanks to Oddfellows for letting me be a part of this! I never thought I would get to animate Ed Edd n Eddy, one of my favorite shows!

Another thanks to Capy Games for letting me contribute! They were very generous to use a lot of my animations even when I was completely new to game development.

As always, a big thanks to Studio Yotta for letting me participate! I'll show some of my work eventually.

OKAY.

Here's what happening at the moment. I just wrapped up boarding an episode for Too Loud, currently helping out with a pilot called Long Gone Gulch. I've got a BUNCH of work to finish so there will be more to show in the future!

And bigger news! I'm one of the animators for Super Meat Boy Forever, a sequel to the game we know and love!!

We got to show off the game at PAX West (and AGDQ) with the first world and first boss fight completed! Paul and Temmie animated the first boss cutscene and it looks gorgeous! I'm happy for all the hard work we've done so far! We have a great team and I can't wait to show more from the game!

https://twitter.com/SandraDRivas/status/1036768944898551808

I recorded the assets I animated that were shown in the game.

This whole year has been me juggling projects and I'm really REALLY beat, but it's been a good productive year overall! I have so much work to catch up on and I need to finish a lot before the holidays.

I always feel guilty for being absent all the time. Most of my work has been NDA and I haven't made a lot of time for my own art, except maybe a couple goofy fanart stuff. I'll actually post a couple of them pretty soon.

Hopefully next year I can have a smarter work ethic............

ALSO, I've been playing Hollow Knight recently and I'm completely hooked! It's a beautiful fun game and I highly recommend it! --> http://hollowknight.com/

Anyways, sorry for yet another really long post! I've gotta get back to work. Later!
