Lord Send Me A Mechanic, If I'm Not Beyond Repair

My very first (un-tutored) After Effects animation.

I only had one week to pull together 3 seconds of animation, and my Jack Kirby collection was in Cleveland, leaving the Captain America cartoon for another day.

(providing I can ever afford a computer that's not broken)

(which is why the number of posts have dwindled, don't worry so has my music downloading.)

Since I have no new ideas (scotch took care of that), I went with a reworking of the banner at the top of the page.

(Which for some reason: every time I drew it the guy looked overly Asian. Fearing coming off the wrong way (I'm not sure if enlightenment is a negative stereotype) I went with the most "American" guy I could think of.)

Anyways, hope you like it.

I'll take my comments of the air.

The Evolution Of Macho Man

Daedalus Your Child Is Falling

Experimental Animation project three: Paper Cut-Out

Lust

Experimental Animation project four: Pixelation

Level Up

Experimental Animation assignment number two.

I can't sculpt, my hands are too clumsy. I usually can't reach the last few Pringles either.

But I think I'm beginning to understand timing.

Which is one of the 12 principles of animation, which is how I like to refer to it.

I'm studying the twelve principles of animation. Like I had to traverse a gauntlet, and defeat a minotaur to capture yellow scrolls where it was all written down.

Makes me sound important, like I've discovered the Wu-Tangs secret.

Maybe one day I'll be like Doctor Strange. Meditating in an incense filled room on the twelve principles of animation.

Starship Troopers

Stop motion project number one (with a group) with found objects.

He is an army man, and giant bugs attack him, then he dies.

No, that's not what the assignment sheet said to do.

Begin Training Session

Conte work from my very first workshop as a student.
Yes it's a pirate.

I seriously was waiting to draw the turtle for the second half of the session.

Probably the worst life drawing work I've done in years (also the first time I've been yelled at in years), but let's use this a sign post a year from now.
