Some Character Designs for a series pitch

Heres some bad guy designs for a new series I'm pitching on with Sticky Pictures (Australia)

Dukes Series 2 is DONE!!!

So I've finally finished the Dukes series 2, and it's turned out great. Well, now I'm taking a little break. I'll upload a small montage of the series to my site soon.

The series will appear on ABC3 and Cartoon Network Asia.

Some storyboards and such.

Just thought I'd post some storyboarding I did for the Dukes series. Here you go.

Band member rocking out on guitar

Heres an animation test of a band member (from earlier designs I posted). 

Walk cycle of Band member

Rough outline of the walk - made up just simple shapes to get basic movement

Precomposed the top half of characters body to allow for more control on how the character jolts up and down. tweeked the leg movement.
Ironing out the head, just got a point to represent the mohawk of the character...

Created the hair movement and reworking the shape of the head (which I've drawn on the right)
Put in the head design. Put in colour. The body movement is just tweened.

Used the symbol movement of the arms and legs to create the final animation. All animation is still embedded inside the symbols. The hands only have 4 drawn frames, and its just the movement of the symbols and timing of those frames that creates the illusion of movement.

This walk cycle, including design (which I was able to change throughout working on this) took less than a day of work. And thats by my slack standards.

Scarygirl nominated for AFI

Woohoo!
Scarygirl, the online game that I did the animation for, is nominated for an AFI award.

Props go out to Tarwin and Tony of TouchMyPixel who did the amazing programming and building of the game and Nathan J for the sweet art work.

Beers guys.
