ninja stewie Week 02 update

I aimed at finishing the shot so next week will be polishing week. Overall I didnt have too much trouble with this one, mainly because it was very clear in my head and also I have some awesome feedback from my AM peers.

quick sketch while watching tv

I'm a TV person, but i sometimes feel guilty of just sitting there, so I decided to always have my sketch book with me and randomly doodle. SO here's some of the sketches i made

Ninja Stewie Friday Update

further into blocking

Le Mal de Vivre

Here's how i would explain Le Mal De Vivre:

Its like being hang by your legs, trying desperately to fill your lungs with as much oxygen as possible, never knowing at what point the rope will give way and you'll hit the bottom of the ice cold water and after that ... well either you turn into a fish or there wont be anymore breathing air!

1st pass at ninja stewie

6 months ago i would never have attempted, let alone even know how to approach such a shot. But here I am today, happily animating a super cool shot and so far, no trouble. I filmed the reference for this shot and it is the secret to successfully animating a shot, reference, reference, reference and strong poses!!

I havent touched timing yet but just the main poses and already you know exactly whats going on in this shot.

Great start of term 3!!
