1st Blocking Pass For A New Project

I am so glad to have Toon Boom Harmony back! I finally get to animate again instead of just sitting there boarding things.

This is an idea I had from an AH Let's Play called Pit X.  More specifically, the part where Ryan hits the Enderman, he disappears and then reappears as Ryan is placing his gold block. I'm representing the way that situation felt to me rather than how it actually happened.

Dialogue Anim Progress

Trying to clean up a dialogue piece I started back in my Advanced 2D animation class. My professor was Anthony Wong, who animated characters like Pacha (Emperor's New Groove) and Quasimodo (Hunchback of Notre Dame), hence the reason the character looks similar to Pacha because he was the character model we were using for all of the character driven assignments.

The pantomime and phrasing are pretty much set in place, I am only adding in/re-doing secondary actions (i.e. crown and cape). Afterwards, I will work on animating the daughter and stuffed rabbit. (The dialogue clip I believe is from the movie "Signs.")

Gestures and Prop Designs

February Sketches #5, March Sketches

I've been trying to get back into doing gestures on bigger sketch pads with either conte crayon or charcoal pencil. (The green slips are next to the ones I feel are working best.)
