such a nice day...

It's so nice weather outside so I can't stay in. I was going to clean this up this morning, but it'll have to wait. I'm not much of a poker player, but I enjoy watching it every once in a while. I was drawing caricatures of pro poker players one day and yesterday I decided to try quick animating too. Image is a snapshot how it could look when cleaned up.

quickies, rotoscope test

Here's some sketches and a rotoscoping test. Rotoscoping was done with pencil and paper. video was projected to a seetrough plastic piece via projector. Original video is from gettyimages.com. This was just a fun test if a video projector can display small enough screen for rotoscoping.

30 second poses

These are all 30 sec poses shrinked to fit the page. they're all done in 800x800 pixels with Cintiq. The poses are from here Pose Maniacs. And I did all them in a row, no pauses nor erasing nor deleting the bad ones. It is actually quite fun even though these cg models don't carry their weight like a real model would.

Fishing hook and machete.

The guy with the machete is for my friends short novel. Actually it's just a test to find the right style. The other picture one is a illustration of an accident from my fathers childhood.

guess what? quickies again

I really should post something else but quickies. soon. I haven't been drawing a lot lately anyways.

Reference for these are from the blog that Mel pointed out a while ago. Thanks, nice place to visit when you're in need of some reference.

keeping the same theme. I'm just a bit busy right now. so my run cycle for the monkey has to wait. Here's a quickie/warm up that's done while waiting for feedback from client.

run cycle for that monkey

Here's that gorillas (or monkeys, what ever) run cycle. It still needs some work. File has both rough and cleaned up versions. I need to add some inbetweens and make some fixes to the keys too. By the way, this is done just for fun :)
