Fun Art Fridays: Bony Joanie

I recently did some work for the new Garbage Pail Kids Flashback Series. This painting was done for the "Where Are They Now" subset. The idea behind it was to get a look at what the Kids from the original 1980's series are up to now. Above is my final painting, with my concept sketch and printed card of Bony Joanie below. I figured with today's pressure to stay thin in the modeling world, she'd be a perfect fit. I've also included the original Bony Joanie card for comparison. I'll be posting more of my concept drawings in future posts, so be sure to check back!

Animation: Lunch Time!!

We've all had jobs where we stare at the clock watching minutes pass by like hours, waiting for any kind of relief from the madness. This animation captures the excitement of that glorious point in the day where you get to drop everything at work and eat.

Character Designs: SweetIM Christmas

Since spring is right around the corner, I figured I’d better post our Christmas character designs before it was too late and all the snow had melted! :P

It was super fun to play with this batch of SweetIM designs, as Christmas characters are so widely portrayed. For example, I really enjoyed working on what the "sexy elf" would look like. As an artist I always like to see the sketches that helped form the final design, so I hope you enjoy seeing these as much as I enjoy sharing them!

Farewell, Manga Squad Video Posted!

Our friends over at Snark Rocket Studios (formerly Camp Chaos Entertainment) just posted the full pilot episode of Farewell, Manga Squad!

You may remember reading in our July 2009 post that 2A! handled all of the 2D animation sequences, which included character animation, prop and effects animation, and background designs. We also tackled the job of compositing all of the 3D robot and space ship exteriors into the final piece for delivery.

Check out some cool screen shots below. Then head on over to Snark Rocket to watch the full video! ;)
