Cat Blue

I've been working on a pencil animation about a cat that scratched me when I was younger (the nerve!)  It's a bit quick at times, and its can be difficult to realise what is going on, but it is hard to say I am disappointed. I think the acting on the cat is spot on. 
By the way I based the cat's face on Lee Van Cleef (The Bad) and a lot of his mannerisms are those of Vincent Price.

Silent Sonic

In my last post, I mentioned I used Ub Iwerks as inspiration for my Sonic. Well, for fun I designed a couple of Silent Sonics, if there was a cartoon made in the "rubber hose" animation days.

I fancied trying to draw Sonic in my style. I tried to give it Ub Iwerks feel. 

Batmobile

My sister drew this for her fashion portfolio and asked if there was anything I could do with it. I live traced it on Illustrator and messed around with colours and colour halftone on photoshop. I used blue because she reminded me of Sue Storm- I was told it was Marilyn Monroe.


Mr. J

I tried to make this a mix of classic Conrad Veidt Joker and the Animated Series version.



Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue

Whatever happened to my Woody and Buzz?


AstroBoy

Soaring high in the sky,
He may be small but only in size.
AstroBoy, AstroBoy,
He is brave and gentle and wise!

What a great character! The text says "AstroBoy", or translated properly "Mighty Atom". I thought I would try different characters I like and try to adapt into my own style.
