Legacy LD5

Hi folks, RipRoarRex here again.

Towards the end of last week it seems I ended up in that 'cartoon duck feet' mood again that had dominated my creative thinking in late April. As such, I got back to thinking about my 3 page comic "Mike - Duck'd" which I submitted in May. In particular, I was drawn to what happens in Panels 3-5 of the comic - which, if you don't remember, looked something like this:



As such, randomly last Friday night, I decided to open Flash and have a go at animating something similar. Over the course of the Friday night and Sunday afternoon, I essentially ended up producing a little animated loop of these three panels.

And here's the result: Click Here

Just a quickie really - I have far more ambitious animation projects in progress and in mind, but given the constraints on my time, it is incredibly unlikely I will ever finish them...



But in any case, hope this repetitive stompage is enough to keep you going in the meantime!!

That's a sweet stompy loop!

Yes, very nicely done!

It looks alarmingly professional, in fact. Just the sort of thing you'd see in an old kids' cartoon. Before they all turned into creepy, lousily-drawn Anime, that is...

with utterly style-breaking, interwoven glossy Poser models crammed into it *shudders*.
We definietly need more classic animation, and just like this!

Quite! No offence to anybody who enjoys or uses the style but I've never personally been a fan of Anime - nor indeed of Japanese cartoons as a whole. Anime always niggled me when I was growing up and developing my style, while many people my age were just using "How To" Anime books and drawing much-of-a-muchness-type people with pointy hair.

Heh!

Glad it's appreciated anyway. As I say, this was only a very quick project that was completed over two days. If I should ever finish the other animations I have in the pipeline, they should be far more impressive.




Thanks, folks!
