If anyone is at all interested - Foetal Jim and Friends!

These guys aren't finished or animatable yet.. but when they are I'll be taking them down to my garage to set up... my tiny two bedroom flat is full of clay and plasticine, making it difficult for us to live in heh!

Incidentally, if anyone has an old table they'd like to get rid of, please let me know.

Cedric the Spacepig hasn't got his proper body yet.

Foetal Jim - The Struggle

Now all I need to do is put plasticine on the arms and give him a face... Excitement!

11 Second Winner

Hey Guys

I just went to see what's been happening at the 11 Second Club site. The winner of the October comp did some truly amazing stuff.

I've been studying people's eye-darts lately (almost obsessively...) and this animator really achieved that maniacal wide-eyed look that is inherent in junkies and general crazy-types (not to stereotype anyone :)...)

Check it out:

Short Animation

I found this short animation by Susanne Wohlfahrt and Marcus Blattermann... I particularly like the sound effects.

Eye twitch

Here's the pigeon's eye-twitch from my narrative. Inspired by a sketch I did of Vincent Price. This was awesome fun.

Vincent Price had the most insane facial expressions... He raaawks! By the way, he never actually had an eye twitch in real life (as far as I know...)

Special thanks to Frank for planting the idea in my head to use Price as a facial reference!

Vincent Pigeon!

I just got a new scanner... so I thought I'd show some of "The Struggle". I wonder what other famous faces would look cool as a pigeon...?

Second Last Scene

This might need some explaining - it's the part when the baby is flying towards the pigeon.

I'm a bit sceptical about my spacing ability, so please critique :)
