IGN's Greg Miller and Colin Moriarty

Did this while listening to their podcast, Colin spoke about being fed up of zombies. I agree there is too much zombie garbage out there, this is kind of why I haven't finished my zombie comic yet. Gotta wait 20 years until the fed has passed :P

Some other stuff

So, I am working on a lot of different projects! Working on 3 animation sequences, doing some character designs, updated my showreel. So hopefully I'll be able to share some of that stuff here with you. In the meantime , here are some glimpses:

This is actually for a personal animation. Picking up a scene I had in mind for my zombie comic and animating it instead. Unfortunately this one gets least of my time dedicated to it :/

Here are some preliminary sketches for a character I was working on:

And of course..random sketch! Who could forget about random sketch time!

Time for a midnight sketch

Granny Runcycle - Finished..sort of

So I tried to do this relatively quick, but it's quite evident I don't have enough milage under my belt yet to be super awesome! Haha, so this is why I am dedicating all my spare time to animating now. I also forced myself to draw this animation in flash, I didn't quite dare to attempt clean up in flash yet, that's the next step : P

And here are a few stills from the animation:

Time to animate!

Granny has a problem! Her dead ancestors are coming over for tea and Jasper (her dog) has made a mess! Jump over Jasper's mess without dropping the tea and get to the guests before they realise what a dumb idea for a game this would be! It's animation time! :)

All lame jokes aside, I will be animating this as the first in a series of animations for my reel.

Tutorial: Harry Partridge Animation Guide

Just stumbled on this animation tutorial for beginners by Harry Partridge. Fun ways to learn are always good to share right?
There are 8 episodes all together:

A tale of Pigs : Part Deux + Steps

I'm a bit annoyed with myself for not knowing when to stop. Haha, what started as a sketch ended up as a pretty much finished character illustration. I included a pretty high res version below of the final image:

I don't know how useful it is but I also included some progress shots. If anybody would ask me how to do this, I would say one thing: Patience... And that's one thing I really don't have :P
