En Guard - The First Fencer

 

I am really getting into the vintage vibe lately :-)

I saw some old photographs on "American Pickers" that really inspired me! Lovely ladies posing with fencing swords...

This is my little inspiration I took from them. I really like how it came out, i think I captured the vintage feel i was after while still keeping the "cartoony" "pinup" style i wanted.

Please enjoy! i think i may turn this into a series...

Prints Available Here

I'll definitely be making more of these :-) id like to have 3 total. Sorry I didn't have time for a progress video, but I will try on the next girls :-)

Bioshock Little Sister Head Turn-Around Animation

I am working on some Bioshock fan art, I know it's not my usual type of work but for some reason the art in that game really inspires me. Not to mention that the story is pretty compelling.

This week for our little animation club I challenged myself to do a head turn-around. (I'm not calling it a head turn because the characters neck doesn't actually turn like a life like movement, its literally a spinning head)

I decided to use a little sister as my model, and here is the result.

Please try not to get sea sick! LOL. Not bad for not animating for a while huh? Its only 8 frames and was output from Photoshop, but I plan to add more in-betweens and make it smoother at a later date. Enjoy!

My Bouncing Ball!

So I made a bouncing ball in photoshop. This is just the beginning of my starting to animate again. I made this in photoshop which doesnt really allow me to mess with the frame rate too much, but ill have toon boom up and running soon :-)

Made using "The Animator's Survival Guide" by Richard Williams

Here is a bouncing ball i helped Tad make today. There are more pencil tests to come, i just wanted him to see the .gif online :-)
