Fun with Index Cards

Before drawing some storyboards on index cards, I decided to warm up by drawing some portraits. Actual size is 3" x 5". More to come.

Character Design Update and Animation

I eventually simplified my previous character designs to make them more appealing and easier to animate.

In this piece I wanted to play a bit more with Flash so I added patterns to the clothes by using mask layers. The lighting in the room was created using a movie clip in blend mode (multiply) on top of the original background.

And voilà!

Some Sample Illustrations

Here are some sample illustrations from the last two books I worked on.

Saunter by Mike Wallace

The Great Dragon Escape by Aaron White

Two Short Flash Animations

For this animation I wanted to see how much I could do without doing much. The animation here is simple, if a bit stiff, but my focus was on the gag. I also got to play with creating a smoke effect in Flash. I did submit it to the 11 second club animation contest since I got the track from them. Needless to say it didn't do very well, but I still like it.

This other animation was another gag I did for my other blog. It is a visual joke about swine flu and it originally came with a fake public safety message in Spanish which I took out in this clip to focus only in the animation. The voice used is actually mine. (Yes, even the squeal.)
