New showreel ā and Iām available for commissions + freelance gigs! ā
For the first time in four years, Iāve fully updated my showreel ā and finally refreshed my website tooš„°
marinanakagawa.com
This time, I decided to move away from adding mix of 2D/3D work and focus on what I love working on : the pieces Iāve directed and the character-driven, stylized 3D animation. It might be a bit of a risk and might narrow the kinds of projects I getā¦? Oh well, letās see!
A huge thank you to all the clients, agencies, and studios Iāve worked with so far. Iām currently very available for new projects, so if you think I might be a good fit for something youāre working on, Iād love to hear from you š

This little charming Japanese tattoo inspired series Horimon has finally landed on @hicetnunc2000 today and many more to come. Check the link from my Bio!
Horimon 001 is č:TIGER and it's on #hicetnunc now! The tiger as a tattoo is a symbol of physical strength and wealth, and it's a very important motif because my name is based on an ancient tiger proverb and I have small tiger tattooš

Happy Friday!
Hereās a little behind-the-scenes for the @motherroot Ritual Video
I was inspired by The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, a short film directed by Wes Anderson, how it uses theatrical storytelling to bring the narrative to life.
Hope you enjoy! :)

A little 3D animation inspired by Mother Rootās ritual and ingredients. šæ
Shake 8 times, pour over ice, top up with soda water and stir ā then enjoy.
Mother Root kindly gifted me a bottle to try, and I really loved the combination of its strong ginger š« kick, refreshing apple cider vinegar š and subtle chilli heatš¶ļøāŗļø
Itās so tasty and a lovely non-alcoholic alternative for gatherings or everyday drinking.
Sound design by the wonderful @mjkbx_studio āØ

I made a new AR sticker for the first time in a while! š„° I made the stickers with @stickerapp as always, and used @kivicube and Blender to create the #AR effect this time. Iām super happy with the result! You can experience the AR effect really easily on the webāno app needed āØ
Iāll hand them out at meetups and events, and Iām planning to make more so let me know if you wanna try š

More frog fun on a Friday. I couldnāt resist working into some of the details for Marinaās frog design (@_marinanimation_ ). Once I rigged and animating the lil guy, I created some rain and caustic maps for the environment, as well as the rain splash (tutorial in my post before).
Iāve put some of these up on Gumroad because I couldnāt for the life of me easily find what I needed for these. So I made them myself and hope others might find me useful too.

Collab alert! šØ
Design, 3D modelling and layout by @_marinanimation_
Rigging, animation and texturing by moi (@mikeydowdle )
For the past 2 years or so Iāve been teaching at @labasad_design on their awesome Master in Motion Graphics course, but am now saying farewell to that chapter.
Itās been massively fulfilling to have been given the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and share a bit of what I know about bringing characters to life to other creatives out there.
This post is largely to thank a few people involved. Firstly @_marinanimation_ who initially taught half of the 3D Motion module of the course with me (and who designed and modelled this here frog šø), followed by the brilliant @russ_ether who has now taken the reins (and is a much more capable teacher than me, letās be real).
I also want to give a huge thanks to Tom Allen of the unmatched @buffmotion for putting together the course to begin with and trusting me to be part of it. I want to also shout out @aka_stephdawurst for recommending me in the first place and being an all-round positive force in the motion world.
Finally a huge cheers to the course coordinators who kept things (and me) on track behind the scenes, and to all the talented students who had to listen to me ramble about character rigging for hours. It was so amazing to see what everyone has been able to achieve in a short amount of time.

A little behind the scenes of the opening of my showreel.
After 10 years of living in the UK, I decided to make this opening inspired by the city of Ginza, Tokyo, where I used to work. The narrow buildings, independent shops, izakayas, bars, vending machines, and dense layering of signageāI sometimes miss them a lot.

Gallop into 2026šš
I decided to make this little New Year horse loop on the 2nd of January. š
I played around with the awesome Brushstroke Tools add-on in Blender and our good old friend, Grease Pencil. Hope this year will be a fun, great one for all of us!
