sketching a girl

ancient dolls?

Some characters I was asked to whip up for a pitch. They are loosely based on some ancient statues dug up somewhere in Venezuela, I think.

bg style

Working on a game. This is a rough idea for the style of the bg.

new software

I just bought a program called SketchBook Pro. Quickly did this doodle while playing around with it. Just trying out various brushes and pens. For a mere 59 bucks, this is a very nice sketching program.

Officer Ballsack and Officer Beaver

dogs playing poker

In this sequence we did a spoof of the Coolidge series of paintings 'Dogs Playing Poker.'

Pink Floyd Hammers

This sequence was my homage/spoof of Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Animating the hammers marching is done in a couple minutes these, days with digital technology: animate one hammer with a pivot point and copy and paste the others... super easy. But back in 1982 the hammer sequence was a lot of work, and an amazing piece of animation.   And oh yeah, that's our recurring character in the bottom pic. He's a Hitler Highway Patrol Cop. It just made sense to have him marching behind the hammers... almost kinda profound.

strategic placing

So in the top 3 pics, I animated a half naked Pizza Paneer dancing across a banquet table. Every time he turned to face the camera I had him in front of a plate of food, like that sequence in Austin Powers.

surgery

This was a fun episode to work on. Almost the entire episode takes place in this surgery room.

Colonosocopy

It's not very often you get to animate a colonoscopy, but that's the kind of humor we give you in The Deerskins.

Pizza Paneer

This is Pizza Paneer, probably my favorite character on The Deerskins. He runs a pizza/cremation shop, using the same oven to make pizza and burn your loved one to ashes! Mmmmmmm tasty.
