Hey all:

I finally go my first character rig done and did :05 sec animation. I did the voice using a Samson C01 condenser mic in GarageBand.
Anyhow, as soon as I can rig up a few more characters, I plan to animate some gags from my cartoon strip I did a few years back called WORKED.

Is this your FIRST animation?! Itās great!! (Nice audio, too!)
Thatās a great first shot. Looks like your on your way.
Be Well.
Ha ha! Great character and animation. I love it! Canāt wait to see the rest of your comic characters.
That was great! I love the consistency of the characterās outline. When I ink a character it never looks that well.
Thanks, everyone.
To be fair, Iāve messed around in FLASH a bit (but not a lot) and work around animators all day as well, so I have SOME experience in animation. Mostly, I do character design, and do a lot FLASH fixes (technical stuff). But, this is my first serious attempt at animation and certainly in TBA.
@ronnieT_16665:
The inking was done in Adobe Illustrator which I have YEARS of experience in. In illustrator you can create all kinds of brushes and use them with the PEN tool. For instance, the lines on this character have a taper on the ends, but the middle is consistent. So, when I draw in Ai I just use the pen tool and donāt have to worry about hand shaking or pressure sensitivity and yet the lines still have a āthick and thinā feel.

Very nice work!
Nice anger. >:(
very good. just like everyone else said. I find it intersting you use illustrator to design your character, I have alway wanted to use that program but animation seems to be first.

Thatās great!
