Caricaturing

So I've been killing time watching Top Gear (I know nothing about cars and care about them just as much, but it's entertaining enough for background noise). I've been doing loose caricatures of people in the background. I've been challenging myself a bit by not pausing to get a look at who I'm drawing, and just going by memory.

More people doodles.

2 shots from Episode 1 of Game of Thrones, doodled quickly, and then some shading. Second one's a bit wonky because the lighting was kinda strange. Also as bad as I am at drawing hands, drawing that bow hand-guard thing was stupid-hard. So it looks like a mess.

Run Cycle Test

Just trying out an asymmetrical run cycle. Nothing too special. It took an hour or two more than it should have, but I wasn't focusing too intently. Some of the asymmetry was lost in polish, but it's still noticeable in the arms/chest.

TV drawrerrings

I felt like sketching a bit for the first time in a while while catching up on TV shows last night. The first several are from Weeds, next several from Torchwood (which has been really bleh this season, although I'm not surprised. I think I'd really dislike the show if it weren't for Doctor Who) and last one from Breaking Bad.

Temporarily Willingly Unemployed

In order to stay employed in the near future, I need to take some time off of work. We don't have any big projects currently, so I'm taking August off so they don't have to pay me, and thus don't have to fire me. So I'll be entertaining myself with personal projects, or at least that's what I tell myself.

Anyway, here's something small I did today for a .gif challenge project thing on reddit.com's animation subreddit. The idea was to make a quick gif over the weekend regarding the word "spell." This took me far too long (3-4 hours?), and is proof that I'm not really a 2D animator.




I will have plenty more useless projects coming along the next few weeks. Hopefully finishing my Cowboy Western model, and probably a lot of music related stuff. We'll see how that goes.
