doodling around with tom

So I was a bit bored the other day and decided to do some doodle animations while screwing around on the internet.
 
I happened to come across this site that has a bunch of sound clips from the original tom and jerry shorts. and in its library I found the "brutal pain" screams, which for me is arguably the most hilarious sound ever to come out of an MGM cartoon. (except maybe the "inward scream" like when the bull dog realizes the piano is about to come down on him at the end of "Bad Luck Blackie") any way...

so I got the "brutal pain" sound clip and doodled a rough animation of Tom to it. I may clean it up but i'll probably end up leaving it as just a fun thing, born from boredom.

Happy Halloween

more practice

finally settled on a story for the comic.

here's some of the concept stuff I'm working on for it:

I may produce it as a serialized web comic. if I do I'll let everyone know

Godsons birthday present

he's really into the hulk

couple more nib sketches

Chewbacca Boredom and Animation Homesickness

the last few weeks I've been focusing on the comic. As a result I haven't been animating all that much so yesterday afternoon I said "FUCK IT! I miss animation" and I took the rest of the day off to animate Chewy growling while I watched A New Hope.

Below are some key frames. I'll post it when it's done.

Inking Practice

I've been wanting to get a comic done for a while now but I tend to second guess myself into oblivion if I don't have an immovable deadline biting at my ass. So, I got a table at MICE in September. Hopefully it will prove to be the fully cocked gun to the head I'm in need of... My hand is still In allot of pain so I've been practicing different types of inking in order to find a style I like that fits my physical constraints.

I've found, while drawing some Hobbes, that Waterson's loose brush style hurts me the least to do. But it's not the style I want the comic in. I'll post character stuff as I finish them up. if anyone has any suggestions as to different styles I should look at post them below

recent stuffs...

Drawing Droopy Drinking coffee
