11 Second Club April competiton

So, I finished the 11 Sec. club this month. I started very late on it. I finished this in a week and a half. I used a lot of holds, but tried to utilize overlapping action to make it not very noticeable. I think it turned out pretty well. Enjoy!!

Calvin and Hobbes Final

This was my final for the TAB 01 class. It was based on a panel of a Calvin and Hobbes comic. Enjoy!!

Tom W - Final - Sequence 04 Pass 01

I roughed this out in Flash and animated on twos. I might take a second pass and add more detail.

Don't Worry...

... I'll post animation-y stuff sometime, too, however, I asked the High Priest of the Blog, and he said I could post whatever art-related content I wanted, so there!

An Angular Armored Vehicle!

On an unseasonably warm spring Saturday I baked in the sun and did draw this vehicle. The location was the War Museum in South El Monte.

Also, if you don't know about this blog, it is amazing. It's all posts from found pencil tests. Mostly old Disney work. Enjoy.

Doug's Nutsville Dialogue Final

http://vimeo.com/22469573

Here's the link. I think it turned out pretty good. The first arm swing is very fast, but when I scanned and tested it at work, it wasn't as fast. Not sure what happened, I think it's a problem with Pencil Check, and Flipbook. But I switched it to 1's because on 2's it was way too slow. The lip sync turned out pretty well, not my best, but still good. Let me know what you think!! Enjoy.

Dialogue Progress

My progress playblast for this month's 11SecondClub competition.

Tom (TR) Dancing Loop

This is a 20 frame loop of "skanking", you know... How you dance to ska. It's all on ones with the exception of two extremes that hold on twos. I shot terrible reference footage of myself doing this.
