Animation Progress!!

It’s nearly done!! About 3.5 minutes of silly cat-lizard shenanigans, here’s some samples!
   

  

More fun stuff to distract me from my important duties!
Another simple Pollo gif to practice his anatomy.

And a revised drawing of the creature I’m calling a doguana that has a short appearance in my animation!

Last Minute Warm-ups!

Getting into the really gritty bits of animating my final so I decided to take a break and do something fun and quick in photoshop.  Just a basic walk-cycle for practice since Pollo’s anatomy is so wacky!

Also a little sketch practice with Prof. Alexander.

Final designs!

And in these final weeks of clean up before graduation I have finally settled on a design that I can draw easily and consistently! Here’s some quick sketches for warm-up and the final designs! Time to animate my little cat-lizard like crazy!!

Final Designs!

These are the final official characters I’ve designed and will be put in charge of animating for the collaborative project! Can’t wait!

Mr. Biggles gets to creep into the background.

Mr. Barkley is going to be rigged and highly caffeinated.

And my baby, Mo, gets to be rudely interrupted in his marathon by a pie to the face.

Business Pug

I was assigned a couple characters for a collab animation we’re doing as a side project in one of my classes.  Here’s some concept art for this overly-caffeinated business pug… I can relate.

Arroz and Pollo!

Since I finally settled on a design I liked, I broke Pollo down to basic shapes and it’s so much easier to draw him consistently now! Which is good because I’m getting into the rough animation stage!

I also drew a more adult version of Arroz. I figure if I can draw him as an adult, I can then go back and add the pudge and big eyeballs to make a better looking puppy awww.

Robot and Bunny!

Some basic rigs of my OSU characters! Just practicing and getting used to their movements for when the animations start getting more involved.
 

Animation IV: Pollo

Just a more finalized design.

[Animation IV] III: Arroz

So there is one more character involved in my animation, but he has very short screen time and only 1 pose so I don’t have to think about him nearly as much.  

I just drew this real quick, basically I looked at a photo of a chow-chow for reference and transformed that into a chubby, puppy, lizard, thing… you know, the usual.
