This thread is great.
So much of the work in here is fantastic.

Wow, jchap - I wish you loads of computer trouble in the future - those are my favorites so far - They have that 'animatable' loosey-goosey quality.

Dan - what a great head you have - it's so limber. There's a big difference between your sketches and the Rotten Banana guy - do you switch gears when you color or .. ? And when do you decide which characters you'll animate? Or do you just sketch away?
swank - I guess that's TX landscape, but you captured some of the CA country in spirit (we don't have those craggly things) yes, though, some roll/foothills would get it. very cool.

here's what i did yesterday. i don't expect you to see the improvements, but there are. this thread has been instrumental in reminding me to try again every day.

Sweet work guys! Thanks for the comps too. It's an honor to be compared to Steve's work! Thanks Chap. cjaye, here are the answers to your queries.
The Rotten Banana started with a sketch of the ape, then I decided to color it in flash. When I do flash work I like to make it crisp. I find that flash lends itself well to a UPA, Blair style of art, flat colors and whatnot. Not that mine looks near as good as those collection of works. Usually I just sketch whatever comes of the top of my head. I guess that all of the drawings could be animated, but I never think about that when I'm sketching. I just try and focus on being loose with the lines, as well as trying to be creative. Here is todays sketch. It's bizarre cause I hadn't looked at Chap's work (which is awesome) since I last posted, and now that I do, I see some similarities between his work and this drawing. Crazy! I was inspired to do this by the old General Mills Monster Cereals (Count Chocula...etc). I love that style, so I kinda took some from it and put in a bit of my own in. I have no idea what this guys cereal would be though! :D Cheers

Very Nice

Hey Danimation, I really like your stuff, how are you at comic book stuff, I was wondering if you would ever be intrested in working on a non-paying static animation project I'm working on???

Project

I forgot to tell you that the project is on the serious side, something like a Spawn type story.

Thanks!!!

Thanks for all the birthday kudos! I had a great day indeed. Damage, that is so twisted and disturbing.....I LOVE IT! You gotta color that! Trixter, welcome to the forums, I really like the plant guy, a hat tip to you. Dream, sent you a PM, and thanks for the comps. Here is another in the JL series. I posted the rough earlier last week. Cheers

The rough version and finished version of Kiba, from "Wolf's Rain." The rough is done in graphite pencil. The final was done in Flash MX 2004. :D

2-D animation will never die. The invention of photography did not kill painting. Why would animation be any different?

Awesome work Dan, you've got me inspired to do some sketches of my own and post em...but not just yet....at work right now and the boss man may not approve

Thanks so much for the responses for ma doodles XD. I always love to see how others sketch and build thier drawings! *loves this thread* yay!

Unfortunately I concentrate on illustration work so most of the sketches turn into illusts^^; ummmm just let me know if I'm spamming drawings excessively! eee *hides*

I'm also interested in fashion design ^_^

Finished illust:

Great work Linverse.
What did you do the coloring in?

Thanks mikeparker, glad you liked my duck! Please do post more. I checked out your College University site... great stuff! Only saw the 1st episode, but looking forward to seeing all 8.
