Animated Hummingbirds

I hadn't animated anything in awhile, and I also hadn't tried to export an animated gif without getting awful colors/artifacts all over it via Flash. So I decided to try and animate one of my illustrations for a change, using a few extra steps to get a clearer animation. It was definitely worth trying out! Hope to animate a few other things in the near future.

Sketch Dailies: Heffalump

 (Poor Piglet!)

Anyone else get freaked out by the trippy Heffalumps and Woozles song as a kid…? Apparently they re-used the animation from Dumbo’s Pink Elephants on Parade for that sequence.

Sketch Dailies catch up day - JEM

Truly outrageous.

Full-Time Art dump 1 - flash animation and game art

So, some people may be curious as to what I do as my current full-time job: I make artwork and animations for mobile games, used on iOS, Android, and iPad!

Below are some examples of in-game screen shots for the current team I work on which is a slots game (you can download it for free, here for iphone, or here for android). Along with a mass dump of animated gifs for some select game-animations I've created.
We actually had a frame-cap; characters were set at no more than 8 frames (at 10fps) and game pieces at 6 frames (also, 10fps). Phew!

More to come soon!
