Oh my gooooooddd!!

Finally another post!! How long has it been? God. Felt like forever. Its not like I was lazy or anything.. well most of the time. Anyway, updates. Yes. New artwork on the way. Some training stuff. No full new pieces. No time. Busy busy busy bee. But here's something to tie you over. New animation!!! Attempted walk cycle using Toon Boom. The walks a little silly.. terkedek-kedek as the malay saying goes. But it was a good practice. Getting a better hold on the frame timing.

From strip to clip

Here's some 2D animation action from my last assignment. We were supposed to take an existing newspaper cartoon strip and turn it into an animation clip. I did Maro's Mamak Cyber from the Utusan newspaper. And yes.. that's my voice. No alterations needed.

Its a Chicken.. Its a Pigeon.. Im not sure!!

Embarrassingly this is my first attempt at 3d modeling. This was done for my 3d course assignment. We had to create/model a simple character and animate it for roughly 15 secs. As you can see, the chicken/pigeon/bird thing is simply done using basic shapes (spheres, cones, cylinders, etc). I suppose in the finished scene i'm just just gonna let 'im runaround like a crazed bird thing. But the assignment needed the character to interact with something/have other objects in the scene. So i'll probably get to that later. But this will be only a simple animation though. Admitedly i just do it to the filled requirements. I'll probablyl post more 3d stuff after i mastered 3d studio max. Here's hoping!!
