Last Post of 2019

Oh wow! We're already at the end! Crazy!

I know I wasn't as active on here as usual for previous years, but I think I definitely improved outside the work I've posted on here and on social media. Basically the school work.

I think I've reached a point where I'm confident enough to finally start putting a portfolio and applying at art jobs in the industry; those are my main goals for 2020.

I really enjoyed doing a monthly animation practice piece for the entire year. I'm almost done; just gotta finish and post up my December practice soon! I think I might continue it for 2020!
Maybe even add something else to that, like a comic strip a week? I haven't decided yet.

But hey! We'll see when the next year hits!

A Look Back in the Decade

With the start of a new decade being a few days away, I put together some images that shows the evolution of my cartoon style. I went back through some old sketchbooks I had hidden away and gathered some images for this interesting look-back.

For this throwback, I focused on my character Dakota since he's been around with me for a very very long time. It's a nice mix of style evolution and my art progression, which includes my start in the animation world with Flipnote Studio, to my start with creating art digitally.

Of course, I think I've gotten better with art outside of my cartoon stuff in general, but this way is an easier way of seeing the change over this decade. I would have gone back further, but I don't know where that stuff is at currently; I know I still have it somewhere.

Let's see where the 2020s and beyond takes us!

Merry Christmas 2019!

The Christmas season is back!

Our friends from the future are here to celebrate the holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

November Animation Practice - Jamming Out

Hey hey hey! It's December! I would have made this post earlier but finals week was happening! And of course, I needed some time to chillax from the semester's work. I'm here now!

Here's my animation practice for November!

I've never animated a dance before, so I decided to change that!

Now, some time ago I hinted that I was gonna add a new character to the Class of 2422 character line-up; the character here is that new character.

Consider this her early unoffical introduction since her character design is not finalized at this stage. I chose this character for the animation because she fits the bill perfect with the dance and music, so I just had to roll with it!

The video/animation is suppose to loop so set that up with the video player to see how well it plays by right clicking on the video itself.

The dance itself is based off of a funny dance from the show American Dad; check it here!
