critter post
i drew these the other day, they were supposed to be my interpretation of baby meerkats. but they don’t look like meerkats at all. Will told me they look creepy, like baby monkey humans. so i colored them to see if it would make them less creepy, and i think it worked. they still don’t look like meerkats, but i like these critters very much. they’re weirdos!

brush pen practice
i just recently got to play with my Pentel Brush Pen – i’ve had it for two weeks, but have been too busy to play and draw for fun with it. now i know i will be using the crap out of it as i am in love. with a pen. story of me. gold star for those who know what the “cats” bag is from!
Haas and the Kids
i’m working on a short pitch with Will Strode for an anthology, above is the style frame. more news on that as we get it. so if you couldn’t tell, comics have taken over my life – i’m postponing my 100 days of animation until August, because i hate having only 10 minutes a day to work on animating. it’s not enough time, and i don’t want to miss a day. so hold tight, i’ll get that donkey moving!
Commission
click for bigger
commission i did of the original character, Turtle Mcgee and her dog that suspiciously looks like a cat. i tried a lot of new stuff out with this one. i love commissions for this, they let me work out my style and try new coloring techniques. let’s keep em coming!
100 Days – tests
my first three tests for bolo’s fun walk cycle. (the bottom two were based on Preston Blair cycles.) i attempted a few in Flash but they have not been entirely successful! time to buckle down though! 4 legged walk cycle with 4 knees is something else…more very very soon!
Ricky and Bolo
i wanted the cleaned up turnaorunds to have their own post! these are my main characters for this animation. no to make them move…don’t forget to click for big view!
