Preston Blair Animation Lessons

John Kricfalusi has put up animation lessons using Preston Blair's Animation book over at his Blog.
He requested for everyone to post their drawings from the lessons on their blogs.

Images taken from the Animation Archive. Click here for more pages from the book.
My attemps are very rough and the proportions are a bit off, but hopefully the next ones will be a little better.

Photoshop Paintings

2006-03-02T13:05:00.000+11:00

I got some Flash line-art to try out some Photoshop painting.

My first attempt was with a caricature of Curly from the Three Stooges. It's a lot easier in black and white:

Tom Hanks didn't go as well, mainly because I had to use colour:

With Jack Nicholson, I used pretty much the same technique but tried out a different background:

Some Rough Caricatures

2006-02-11T20:42:00.000+11:00

Here's a phony that needed to be drawn:

I've never even seen a Dr. Phil caricature before. He's got the kind of face that kind of needs one.
Not a very good job of it, I might do another one later on.

And now a caricature of one of my favorite actors, Kevin Spacey:

I might also redo this one.

The Ed Gein Cartoon Show

2006-01-09T14:57:00.000+11:00

I'm developing an idea which may turn into a series of shorts. Above is the first test.

If you're not familiar with Ed Gein, here's some background information:

Edward Theodore Gein (August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984), was one of the most notorious murderers in United States history. The particularly bizarre and morbid nature of his crimes shocked the world even though it may never be known if he committed more than two murders.

Although he didn't kill many people, he's the most fascinating serial killer in history and also the inspiration for films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the Lambs and Psycho.

But since he was only charged for killing two people, does that make him a light-weight? No:

Searching the house, authorities found:

severed heads acting as bedposts in the bedroom;
skin used to make lampshades and chair seats;
skullcaps made into soup bowls;
a human heart (it is disputed where the heart was found; the deputies' reports all claim that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, with some crime scene photographers claiming it was in a paper bag);
a necklace of human lips;
a waistcoat made up of a vagina and breasts; and
other items fashioned from the parts of human bodies including a belt fashioned from nipples.

Science Fiction Montage

2005-12-05T23:04:00.000+11:00

I've thrown together a small science fiction animation.

No story, meaning or anything -- just a small montage.

Tell me what you think.

George A. Romero

2005-12-02T22:13:00.000+11:00

I just won a copy on George A. Romero's Land of the Dead, and I decided to draw the man himself; the inventor of the zombie genre and the director of some of the best horror movies ever made.

Here's the main picture that I based the caricature off:

Christmas Logo

2005-11-28T22:18:00.000+11:00

I've updated the logo with a christmas style.

Here's a close up of the Santa, which may appear in a Matt World 'Christmas Special':

Keep an eye out for it later in december.

Billy Beck in "the Cuspid Caper"

2005-11-21T16:33:00.000+11:00

Billy Beck in "the Cuspid Caper" is finished and posted on the Cartoons page.

Billy Beck in consumed by greed as he breaks into a home at night to steal teeth but can't stop at one.

Why is Billy Beck different?
The first Billy Beck was made a while ago, so now he appears outdated. The reason why he is another enviroment is because it's a cartoon; I can put him wherever I want. Sometimes Bugs Bunny was in space, sometimes he was a caveman. Sometimes Elma Fudd lived in a mansion.

This is a homage to that animation convention; more character based, settings can change dramatically to suit the story, and the cartoons don't need to follow a formular.

Check out the cartoon on Newgrounds.com and leave a review:

Billy Beck in "the Cuspid Caper" - Coming Soon

2005-11-17T14:44:00.000+11:00

A new 'Billy Beck' cartoon is in the works. The story is worked out, the music is chosen and I've animated 30 seconds of it.

Here are some screenshots:

Should be out in a few weeks so keep checking for updates.
