I was advised by Spider Eye to practice using the symbols to animate in Flash. This is the result. Hope you like it.

Espresso Animation + Kodama-kun Work

This is work I can show you for the Kodama-kun game I have been helping my friend Dan make. This is a rejected design of the Kappa Boss. The final design has been finalised and I have done a lot of pencil animations for both the Kappa and Kodama himself.

Work I did whilst visiting Espresso Animation. Thanks Phil.

New 2D animation and some pictures

Some Superhero favourites.

The entire cast for my Doodleboy and the Toons idea.

Fot the DAC Mike Mignola Challenge.

Here is some 2D lip-sync I did. I drew it straight into flash with a wacom tablet. Unfortunately it flickers too much. I'm going to have to redraw it. Oh well.

New Youtube Videos

A head Turn I did when I spent the day at Espresso Animation. Thank you so much Phillip.



A comparison between a 2D and 3D walk cycle.

The 3D walk cycle was done wit the help on Eric Goldberg's book Character Animation Crash Course and the 2D walk cycle was done when I spent the day at Espresso Animation. Thank you Phillip.



Just some storyboards I did recently. I wanted to board and action scene where two fights where going on a the same time that had nothing to do with each other.

New Showreel

Well, since my last showreel didn't get me any luck with finding a job I decided that maybe it was time to change it around a bit. Very kindly David Fortier from Pip Animation and master animator Will Finn gave a look over my reel. They both felt the old one was too scattered, and I could do a lot more with less. Listening to their suggestions, I need a lot of new stuff to add to the reel, for example more artwork and a more emotion filled piece of animation, something more akinned to what you see in features. But those will both take time, so I made up this reel using the stuff I have now. In case your wondering the Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh drawings I did for a Disney Consumer Products Contest here in the U.K. Better start on the new work. Oh, the music is copyright Rare.
