    Value practice




    Playing with Painter and it's blend modes. Still getting used to coloring with it.


    Hmm lots more left to add. Second character frames, inbetweens here and there and then retracing onto a final. Who needs sleep?

    Ha ha oh no

    After thoroughly reworking my animation I came to realize that didn't like anything about it at all and opted to do replan the animation. Sure I'm back to square one but who has time for sleep nowadays anyway? I didn't have time to scan in my second character talking but his animation is nailed down I think, didn't have to rework him as much as the main guy.

    Painter Practice

    After dabbling with Painter for a few months I finally sat down and tried to do a good job at coloring with it. Spend a few hours getting familiar with the brushes and wanted to do something this. The lineart isn't mine, its from a work in progress game from 4chan, specifically /a/.

    2 hours coloring and not animating do'h

    11 second Club



    Its been 2 hours into overtime and the score is tied 7-7. Quarterback Steve is 5th string and the exhaustion finally gets to him.

    This, by far is my favorite animation throughout the 11second archive. The character design, composition and gestures are spot on and aesthetically pleasing. Creative and feels perfect for the soundclip.

    Fooooooooooot Baaaaaaaaaaall






    Doodling some characters as stock for later animations.  I liked the idea of having the face-guard being the mouth and using the helmet with the eyebrows.  Then I realized that these guys looked kinda like monkeys or gorillas so I kept playing with it.  

    Classmate Cutouts!


    Brit, Dave and Sean respectively.  Super fun assignment involving colored paper, scissors and classmates to capture in paper like form.
