CH 01Jeffrey De La Nuez · Orlando, FL

10+ years in rigging, technical art and pipelines. I build 2D characters that move well, and the tools that get them there faster.

Three tracks, one progression: rigs, then the tools, then the products.

Don't take the reel's word for it. Open the rig.

The Shin'Kari rig from The Talon Moon, running live in your browser on the Spine runtime. One rig of 220 bones and 73 constraints (7 IK, 47 physics, 14 transform, 5 path) drives five characters and eleven outfits. Pick a character, turn on the bones, or grab a foot or the tail and let it swing back.

I built this site with Claude as my pair: a static site rendered from JSON, edited through my own CMS. The characters run on the Spine web runtime.
