Ruff animation stills from "TAH-DAH"

I thought since I am starting clean-up today [FINALLY!!], that I would post some stills of my ruff animation. I am actually happy with how it's turning out, which is a rareity when it comes to me liking my own animation!! So I am staying positive and moving forward!















I am sooooooo anxious to get to the painting stage, I just want to see it all finished now, but clean-up is a necessary evil, I suppose...... :)

Onward and upward!

The Stars of "TAH-DAH"

I'm pausing inbetween scenes to quickly post some character designs...I realize I haven't posted too much artwork from my film as of yet - 'cause everything is in the works!

But I have to say, I am actually really excited with the direction my film is going. Even though it's crazy insane amounts of work, I'm really lovin' seeing my characters come to life and my story take form.

It won't be complete [knock on wood!!] until end of April, but for now, here's my designs for the two main characters: Farmer Henry and Bentley Bug.

I hope everyone else will enjoy it as well!

Gesture paintin'

I'm a-still animatin' away on my film, so I thought I'd post some gesture studies I did from life drawing last semester.

Lookin' back at these, I do actually kinda miss it this term!

I'll definitely try to keep taking life drawing on the side, wherever I end up; it's such great practice for sharpening your drawing technique, and it's also a great way to experiment with styles. Unlike caffe drawing, the models don't move, so it's a great opportunity to take more time to study details.

Back to rough animating I go!
