I Know You're not a Pigeon



This is another piece of acting we had to do it Flash class. I find Flash CS5 hard to work in. This is because building a character becomes a lot more complicated. There are a number ways I find Toon Boom  a much more effective program to tackle these sorts of animation. I believe this is because I was trained how to digitally animate in Toon Boom first, to the switch over to Flash is somewhat jarring for me... Even though I've spent about the same amount of time on both now. I'll probably be stuck with Flash more so then Toon Boom so I better get to like loving it soon.

My Character this time around is a character I'm actually going to be using for an animated online comic book I plan on start making when I have time to spare... and perhaps my own website to post it on that isn't blogger. I'll save the story for that, but that's roughly what he's going to look like. Peers have told me that he looks like Lucas from Mother 3 by Nintendo. Which I wasn't reeeeally going for. I wanted him to look like a young tanned Link... Who plays soccer.

This is also my first shot doing a quick line of dialog. My facial acting and construction are a little better. But I don't think my animation is top notch here. There is a lot I know I messed up on. I really plan to kick it into high gear in the next one, and hopefully I can fix this character build up so I can use him effectively in my animated comic book.

  1. Lucas? No way. First of all, this kid does not have a stri-ped shirt. I actually think he looks a bit like Kagamine Len but that's probably because he's blonde... lol

    Good work! He's so freaking cute!! It must be because I am not an animator but I don't see any of these things you allegedly messed up on.
