Walking

I've been working on the walk of the Hairy Diary girl and came up with this little gait... almost dance like. Not sure I'll stick with it but I like it. Let me know what you think.

You'll also notice the usual Flash CS5 export to Quicktime problem... yep, artifacts. Its a known issue and very VERY annoying. There are ways around it check out my next post.

Animation test

Working on the the character form My Hairy Diary and working out how she might move and how her hair works. This is a really small test, just to get a feel. Let em know what you think.

Rotoscoping animation

I have been playing with some quick sketch rotoscoping. I like the effect. Some German Wheel animation.

New swag in the bag.

Just to let you all know that finally I have my online store for my illustrations and designs. They are all available on groovy products to drink from, to wear and to play with. Go over to Cafe Press and check it out, I'll be adding more as we go along and if there is something you'd like I'd love to hear it.

Bug chair

More playing with chair ideas, they've been bugging me...

Vector Illustrations for animation.

I've been having a quick play with chair ideas, prompted by a client request. So if you were a small creature wouldn't you love to sit on a banana?

Hairy Diary moves into the digital realm

I have been preparing my character form "The Hairy Diary" from pencil (Coloursoft) to digital. ALso been playing with backgrounds, more for feel and colour than actual situations. She is being prepared for animation and I working on rigging her.
