Animation challenge

on: June 27, 2006, 08:05:42 pm
Here's my attempt at setting up a somewhat regular animation challenge.  If this takes off, I'll continue to set up challenges... unless anyone else wants to step in and help set them up.  If you have any suggestions about this challenge or for future ones, let me know.

I'm planning on keeping many challenges just asking for animated silhouettes.  There's two reasons for this: to encourage people who otherwise would think that they didn't have enough time or the ability to fully render an animation to participate, and to focus the attention of the animators towards showing character through the animation instead of the character design.  Full renders are always encouraged, of course, just please post the silhouette as well.

Okay, for this challenge, it'll simply be a walk cycle.  48 x 48 pixels maximum, 8 frames maximum.  Here's the rub:  it has to be the walk cycle of a duplicitous, untrustworthy character.

This is great! I've been looking for a reason to do more animation, and this looks like it may be it. I'll get to it once I'm not at work, and have an animation program on hand. If there's one thing we don't have enough of 'round here, it's challenges like this.

Excellent challenge! This is a bit of a quicky, I'll see if I can do a better one later.

AdamTierney, that is the most spasmed walk I have ever seen.  But I love it so much. 
Back from hiatus, just remembered how excellent this community is at forming technique in a fledgeling artist of any kind.
