Hello again.This is an animation I did for a characters intro in a childrens learning video game.It was drawn by hand and put together in Digicel flipbook.I put it in the WIP section because although it is colored,it does not tell a story,put's over a gag or really do anything.He just dances.
This is a color version.Best view size is 640.

This one is with him in the proper settings(better context)but is in it's pencil test version.Again view it at 640.It plays slow at first,so if you got the time,let it loop and the second time will play at the proper speed.I hope.

Crits are always welcome to keep me from repeating the same mistakes.

Thats very good Pongo. It reminds me of Willie Beamish, it was this old school adventure game I played as a kid, but it had a similar character style. I also have no crits. Awsome work, is there any more to it that we can see?

That's freakin' nice work pongo! soo smooth and articulated. One crit is that after he throws the blender his right arm hangs for a bit. You could twiddle his fingers in anticipation or get some movement in thar. No biggie for sure.

It reminds me of Willie Beamish

WILLIE BEAMISH!!! holy crap Terro that brings me back. that game had some good character design tho you're right.

Thanks for the nice comments.I dont think I will ever revisit this animation again,but it is a good idea that jackhalfaprayer had with the fingers.I do have more from this game,but I dont think they were as interesting as that one, except maybe this one.The first one is what made it to the game.The second one was what I originally animated.They had a team of people go over everything to check what was safe for a kids game.I wish I knew that before animated it.The research I did for the action nearly killed me.The things we do to put over a gag.
Dont try this stunt at home kids.
Sorry for the poor quality.
