Wee-lil' Alien Guy

So here's my "wee-lil" alien character for the walk cycle. He was inspired by the doodle below; the one with the spaceship.

Character

So I thought that I would create this old guy in Illustrator. So here is what I have so far. I have created different layers to allow some movement but we will see how good that will look i guess. Still think that I am going to do this one hand drawn though.

Character

Ok so lame Idea's for a character so I upped the anti? I want to go with the big guy meh

Nostalgia. I guess.

Here is my first attempt at a walk cycle about 3.5 years ago when I was apart of the animation club here on campus. I hope that I have gotten a little better since then. I guess we will see in time.

Flour Ninja

Ok, my video loaded on facebook but not on this post, here are my characters I'm considering for the walk through. I want to do the lurpy one, the hyper one or the bigger lug sad one. :)

Character Design

So here is a Character design for the walk cycle. Let me know what you think.

Flour sack WIP

So here is what I have been able to get done so far. Still working out the timing with certain things but I think that it is coming along. Let me know what you think so far. I hope the video works. If not I will put it on youtube and then embed it.

In the Box - Flour Sack Animation

Flour sack is struttin' along, when he stumbles upon some kind of crumpled up cloth, like . . . flour sack skin! He steps over and shuffles backward into a strange box. Examining the box, he picks it up and starts to crank the lever on the side. Suddenly, whammo! Some crazy freakshow flour sack from the brain of Steven King pops out and it's all over for this poor, lost soul. He's just another "splatter" on the sidewalk of life. Hope you enjoy ; ).

Meeting on Saturday night?

Hey guys I was thinking that it might be easier for me to get some work done if i were to be up on campus more so I am going to try and be up here this Saturday in the evening. If this works for any one let me know. I am open for any suggestions on a time. If any one else would like to make it I can try and reserve a room in the library for us. Good luck and happy animating.
