Still alive

Here are a few designs from a recent freelance project that I was pretty happy with. As I’ve said before, I do not consider myself a character designer, but I do like to try and make myself better. My most common goal I try to achieve when making up new characters, is to try and not make my character’s look like me. Fortunately, these were pretty successful in that, or at least I think so….at least apart from the bellies maybe…

Here are some of the initial options…

And here are the final characters, all variations of Number 2…

Hopefully I will be able to post the animation I did with these characters soon….

Commuting Sketches

Finally had some time to put together these sketches from my commute to Brooklyn.

First: One of the bus drivers I see in the morning, who sports an awesome mullet, and is probably one of this nicest transit workers in NY.  Always says “Good morning,” and “Have a nice day,”  even on the ugliest of days.  So here’s to you Bus Driver Lady…

Second:  I saw this guy on the subway the other day, and I am sad to say that this is no exaggeration.  (except for the socks and shoes which I didn’t get a good view of, although I am sure they were equally as flamboyant.)  I dunno whether the coat was fur or not, but he looked like he stepped right out of P. Diddy Video….all 90lbs of him.

Flash Plug-in

For those of you who animate regularly in Flash and take advantage of using commands, plugins and extensions, I just want to share with you a great one developed by my friend Andrew Roberts.

It’s called See Inside Symbol, and it is extemely helpful when animating with symbols in Flash, so check it out, it’s well worth it!
