Summary

The best motivator a creator can find is the interest somebody else has in their work. So let's see what we can do.

3D Models? - With a good reference.
2D Art? - All about the composition.
Worldbuilding & Narrative? - Setting, secrets and circumstance.
Animation? - The less keys, the better. 3D speaking at least.

Or we could just have some long talks and mutually improve our ideas. That comes the easiest. I have a mild form of Aspergers Syndrome, making me well suited to specifics, attention to detail, and observational analysis.

I've made fanworks for the Kingdom Hearts, Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers, and Pokémon franchises, and a handful of original works, which you can find on this site. I have more projects in planning.
