all critiques welcome.

peace.

the laugh animation test

Well Y'all, First Year IS DONE! *crowd roaring*...

So, this was the last animation assignment.

The greatest thing I learned was how much preconception needs to be done before the final is reached. The first idea is rarely ever the best. And also GET STARTED ONCE THE WORK IS HANDED OUT. Thumbnail sketches are a great thing i will utilize next year. This leads to more fluid final designs, and less last minute rushing... that killed a lot of us.

hope I've given some insight into this dream I strive for the aspiring artist.

peace.

the walk and trip cycle...

A walk cycle I did... I changed my character from the original, and I added a pan so it's more interesting... I tried a different kind of walk this time. One that they used a lot in the 1920's cartoons.

the first part of my walk and trip cycle

my new animation

Originally, I think this was one of my best animations. But i remember i didn't even finish the ending. Aww man! oh well, I like the characters, and I like the pitch part of it. But life moves on. all crits are welcome!

aladdin head rotation

i have to start timing myself.. so i'm gonna buy a stopwatch or timer, cuz I really hate 'falling asleep at the wheel' as my teacher calls it. And since i didn't want to stay at school to finish this, i went home yesterday and i was sssooo tired!! [long story short] this piece turned out okaaay, but i should stop doing stuff last minute- i lost like 10%. Damn! i hate it but i luv it!! ohhh animation!! you monster! *drinks more coffee*

p.s. the hair was challenging to rotate. they cheat on those 2d designs...

This is a Daffy Duck heavy Ball Lift I did recently.. it's not that great.

YAY ANIMATION!!

One of the first projects we did...
