Boy and Dog walking cycle

As you know, most of animators assignments are filled with walk cycles. Quadrupeds are always the tough ones. But all thing you're gonna need is coming up with a formula based on the references you around you.
In this video I was assigned to animate a human character with a four legged animal on a leash with the different timings without changing their distance from each other with the background in a loop. It sounds like a easy job but Nooooo...it was not. It took times to find a right loop for that scene. But It was worth it.

Cape Man Animation

From Now on I will be posting my animation tests on my blog to make it more Animationy. I think it will make it more interesting. Besides I want you to know that I can animate characters .
In this video I've animated the Cape man who is jumping the rope. Really simple but with subtle overlapping actions.

Tragedy in Newtown

There are not words for me to speak about tragedy. Last week another tragedy happened in Newtown, Connecticut. My condolences to victims' family and friends.

Humpty Dumpty Sketches

I've heard Humpty Dumpty a lot in my life but I never bothered to look it up to find out what it looks like. So finally I did a little research on the character for one of my roommates to draw it on an egg. I mean an actual egg..

A Good Family

Oh boy...my assignments are getting more interesting. This time I had a lot of fun with the characters as a family group. I had to pick two very opposite species as parents. I picked a pig as a father...

... and a wasp as a mother..

And they must have two kids (one boy and one girl) and one of them should look more like a father and the other more like a mother. So I came up with these sketches..

Then I thought it would be better if I put them together in a family portrait. So here they are..

4 Characters - From Cartoony to Realistic

After finishing the final version of the cartoony version of the 4 main characters for my new cartoon (I'm still working on the title..maybe "Bad Heroes" for now) I was assigned to do the realistic version of them.

Actually it was not that challenging to me to turn them into live-action characters. It was ok but not as fun as the cartoon drawing. It has proven to me that I always have a cartoon world living inside of me with bucked toothed tiny characters. I feel like a happy pregnant lady.

Ricky, Steve and Karl

It's been a month I've started listening to Ricky Gervais show (Especially his 10 guides). I was doodling chimps and I realized that Karl likes chimps. He's so innocent and gullible but he's always interested in everything. I believe Ricky really cares about him. Then I drew Ricky's, Steve's and Karl's face in cartoon on the top. I really like the show. I don't Ricky is reading this post but I like him with Karl..All the time.
