I can't resist having a go, even if I can't finish it due to other priorities. It just seems like too much fun!

Some concepts of my Sackie McSacksack. She's an Australian gymnastics sack, loves doing work on the uneven bars (all that tumbling is fun!). I'll do up some more final ideas later. Was toying with the idea of a ponytail, but I don't really think that's going to work :(
Oh well.

I'll probably animate it on paper, but this is a test in PAP that I worked on this evening.

First pass and not very interesting just yet as it's just a test. Needs lots and lots of work on timing, etc o'course. I did most of this straight-ahead, hence why she's so friggn huge at the end :rotfl

Hey Greg, can you possibly work out a way to be able to embed vimeo files in the forums like youtube files some time? That would be great! :)

Bleupencil will be on American Idol this week. She's not singing, she's animating! Dial 1-800-bleupencil to vote or text "bleu" on your blackberry! ;)

If you don't win this challenge I'll be flabbergasted!:D:D Beautiful work so far!

That is amazing. Your inutivness and natural talent is something to be in awe of based on how you conduct "a simple uninteresting test". I can't wait to see what comes from the animation you decide to put more planning and effort into!

Very cool Bleu, very cool. This is exactly why we're requiring the character sheet and name of character. Just coming up with a name gives the character so much ...... character..yeah. lol

Thanks for the comments, all.

Looking good....I have a few crits..... It's not the same without you Noob. But don't worry, I have many crits for it too. Feel free to jump in any time tho.

Free version I presume? Yep. It should get more attention, its a very useful but underrated little program.

I'm kidding. She will not be on American Idol. (it was cancelled due to Bush's speech):D:D:D

Love the sack that's tied. Can't wait to see the final competitions.:)
