Walk Cycle

Well it is getting down to the end of the quarter, and the final projects are starting to get assigned and worked on.  Currently, I have finished a new walk cycle of my character (as in, the character which is a caricature of me), Adam, from TangentArtists.com's comic Donuts for Looking.  This character is actually going to appear in other places as well if I ever get the time to finish the other various projects, since my brother's character, Evel, is his evil twin, and we are planning on working on several projects together.  Get it?  Adam and Evel.  It's a joke.
Seriously though, here is Adam in his overly-optimistic walk.  Once again, this was intended to be a loop, but I haven't yet figured out how to do that in youtube.



Not perfect, and not my first walk cycle, but by far my best!  I know now that I can do better, and with finals coming up, I will have that chance.
I also have a slightly updated version of the flour sack animation, with slightly better timing.  Check it out here:


The fact that you can see the lines through the sack is merely an artifact/limitation of the software being used, Flipbook.  It doesn't do complex things like masking, it is only designed to do simple flip book style animations and pencil tests.
I also just finished a new podcast recording with Alex over at 7thRowCenter.  It should be up this weekend, so be sure to check it out!!  Subscribe on iTunes or check it out on his website, 7throwcenter.com.
Other than that, I am thinking about adding a video blog to my website at some point, if I have the time.  We'll just have to see how things turn out.  It will mostly focus on campus life at SCAD, and might have a few interviews if I can manage it.

So thanks for checking me out.  With finals coming up, look out for a lot of new content soon!


ZÀI JIÀN!
