069 - Hero Turn


Thought yesterday's animation needed something more...so I added a body. So today, rough animation, clean up and colours, think I am done with this one now.

067 - Hammer Time


Needs alot of work and its compressed nastily, but you get the gist of things. Rough animation.

066 - Coin Flip Coloured


I tweaked and coloured the animation. I couldnt get it working enough the way I wanted it, and it kept getting over worked, so I am leaving it for now so I can move onto something new.

065 - Commission Preview

I tweaked yesterday's animation but forgot to publish the movie, and since then I have added some colour, so I'll post that version instead. In the meantime, a preview of a commission that includes wonder woman.

064 - Coin Flip


Almost forgot to post yesterday's animation, but I am embarrassed to show this. I thought I would do something simple after seeing a pose in Eric Goldberg's 'Character Animation Crash Course' book, but I got so much to to adjust and work on.

The smoke is crap. I think I did too many drastically different keys, so I will scrap that and straight ahead something more simple and wafty. The coin isn't quite working, and I think the wrist needs some drag and follow through.

Any other suggestions or tips?

063 - Angry Walk


Trying out another walk, putting some character into it. Saw a single drawing expressing character in a walk in Eric Goldberg's book and thought 'That would be fun to try animating'.
There was another version with an extra drawing during the passing positions, but I thought this one felt more angry with the quicker snap.

062 - Walk Cycle


Forgot to post this yesterday. Finished off the walk by adding ears and a tail. Not sure if this looks too much and overworked, or just poorly animated. Anyway, thats this walk cycle done, no more adjustments!

061 - Walk Clean Up


Finished the walk cycle from yesterday. I want to do more to it, add ears bouncing, maybe a tail too. I also want to shrink the size of this so that it isn't the size of the workspace. Any ideas apart from rescaling each frame? Would help a lot.

060 - Walk WIP


This month I will try some animation everyday. Today I was practicing a walk cycle from Eric Goldberg's 'Character Animation Crash Course!' book, where I used his keyframes and inbetweened the rest on 1s.

I am currently cleaning this up, tweaking things etc, hopefully finish it tomorrow. Done in Flash.

059 - Zawadi

And so the Marvel Ladies A-Z ends with Zawadi, ally of the Black Panther. Had fun drawing this one, and pleased how it turned out. Really felt this month has improved my female drawings, so I hope you have all enjoyed seeing the progress.

058 - Yellowjacket


Nearly forgot about this one, so it was quite a rush to get it done.

057 - X-23

Learnt something new doing this, X-23, or Laura Kinney , was originally created for the X-Men evolution cartoon series and then later brought into comics, much like Harley Quinn. I did draw 2 different outfits for her, this and her X-force uniform, but thought I would simply finish this one off.

056 - Wasp

This one started off as a traditional sketch that I did while waiting in my car. I didn't have much reference with me at the time, so just did her in her more recent costume.

055 - Viper


A little cheating, as she is more widely known as Madame Hydre, but Viper is her alias.

054 - U-Go Girl


I know, ridiculous name right?

052b - Spider Woman

Screw it, here is Jessica Drew. The idea I planned to post on deviantArt I flipped this horizontally to put on the same piece with Julia Carpenter, but it looked weird to me.

052 - Spider Woman

Had a choice between the 2 Spider Woman costumes. I went for Julia Carpenter here, as its a costume I haven't drawn before but have always wanted to. I did draw Jessica Drew as well, which will probably end up on my deviantArt page.

051 - Rogue


My new favourite. Everyone knows and loves Rogue for this costume. She's actually had loads, and I nearly drew her in a different one, but the green and yellow called out to me again.
