Couple of Pencil Tests

Over the last couple of days, I've taken it upon myself to take the practice I got at work doing thumbnails and stuff, and put it to practical use. A while ago I downloaded this program called "Pencil". I also had a drawing pad that I haven't used in a few weeks.

So then I set to work putting my ball with legs on a walk across the screen. On paper I'd only ever penciled out 3 steps. The walk across the screen was 12...quite a bit more than I'd done before. Needless to say, by the end I got kind of decent, although I do have to say that the size of my dude changes a little over time. I can't figure out how to actually put the file on here, so I guess a link will have to do...http://megaswf.com/view/f3a9a29c06a80d98f5fb68931653a08b.html



Next I thought I'd change it up a bit. Used the same beginning, but added a surprise. A quick practice in some physics. Not really as good as it can be...http://megaswf.com/view/9831171cf009b1722fbe60f8a59488cc.html

Lastly, this is the one I'm most proud of. I thumbnailed this one out at work today. It's a slight variation on the video above.http://megaswf.com/view/e62a18f02b7fe9cff152e8ec6dcb1bc9.htm

And thats about it.

Walkcycle

Well before Lost, I completed my 2nd go at a basical walk cycle. It's missing some in-betweens but I just wanted to get those steps down first before I tried anything else. It's in the gallery. But here it is anyways. [caption id="attachment_56" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Walkcycle #2"] [/caption]  Based off the guide from the Animator's Survival Kit.

Neglected

Yea, so that's the funny thing about me having a blog. I can neglect it. I was never that much of a writer in school. Both academically and for fun. This is something I really should do though. Would do well for me to brush up on some writing skills, and by association, my communication skills. Nothing much has happened since my last entry other than me getting mad at some more drivers, doing some more practice animations, and oh yea...not moving home anymore. Whatever, it's probably for the better. Having not lived at home for almost a quarter of my life, it would be just too weird to move back inside those walls. I should go now, I'm still on a high from the "LOST" finale and just having gotten back from seeing "Star Trek" in IMAX. Pretty awesome.
