Mini Comic

So I had to do a mini comic for my final in Intro to Sequential. I took two old comics I had already done before. The ideas the character has in the comic are actual thoughts that went through my head during class while my Professor was droning. Although, I didn't yell my thoughts out to the class, as hilarious as that would have been. So I hope you enjoy them. Unfortunately I have to post them one at a time so it's going to be a long list of pictures... I just won't make them as big as I usually do. Oh and ignore the Anatomy at the bottom, it was originally going to be a 3 part series, each gag having it's own title corresponding to the joke. So the actual title is Biology 101.

Moustache Men

So I drew this last year some time and just never got it up here. He's the beginning of a line of characters with, as you can see, ridiculous moustaches. Each moustache will determine his vocation, such as the first one. He is a cowboy with an amazingly fantastic handlebar moustache. Well here he is, let me know what you think!

Backgrounds

Well here's the other half of the animated assignment. I had to take a background and recreate it in a realistic and stylized version. Then I chose one of those and added the ball to see if I could composite them together well. And like i said in the previous post, I hope it worked out well. I mean I think it did! And I'm pretty proud of it. Well here are the two backgrounds. Let me know if you like them, and which one you prefer and why; if you don't mind.

Fun with Compositing

Well, here's my first attempt at digital compositing using Toon Boom Animate Pro. Like I said, first time, so I hope it looks as good as I think it does. The ball bounce isn't the best, but to be honest that's not exactly what I cared about in this project. The ball and the background just need to look like they go together. So, let me know what you think!!

Another Tack Test

It's just exactly what the title says. Not much to say about it other than I can't wait to finish it!!

2-D Character Test

This is a quick test of my latest 2-D character assignment. The character is Tack from The Thief and the Cobbler. It's an old animated movie, pretty much Aladdin story wise, but it was made before Aladdin. It's really a good movie with some great animation, and Vincent Price is the voice of the bad guy!!! Anyway, here's my animation.

Summer Projects

Working on a few different ideas during the summer, well doing more prep work and design than animating. I can't exactly animate since I don't have anything to animate with at the moment. But still working is really fun, I love the set up and getting the idea together. Right now I've got an animated music video for "Who Let You Go" by The Killers. I love that song, it's so fantastic!! And I'm also working on a new comic series, the details are still fuzzy but it's coming together. I'm using a style that's a comination of Flapjack and Scott Pilgrim for the music video and the characters look great! I'll get some sketches up of them and a few of the backgrounds.

Still deciding whether I should animate this in Flash or traditional, that's really my biggest road black at the moment. I just have to make up my mind before Septembet 14th. Guess that's all I've got for now. I'll get some sketches up soon.
