Just a quick cooldown Photoshop doodle at the end of my Friday work day. It's been a while since I last did a Scaredy Squirrel scene. I really look forward to starting season 2 in January. ^_^

I didn't have a lot of time over the month of December for drawing. Busyness with studio time has my hands occupied for the most part. But here is a collection of doodles I've managed to get done whilst spending time wiff Demonysh..

Yes.. You see there an actual Pokemon gag. I know next to nothing about Pokemon except the really weird and creepy breeding rituals. O_o

All are either ballpoint pen, or 2B/HB pencil..

I had fun animating these couple of scenes, so I thought I'd post them. This series is a heck of a lot of work, but it's also a heck of a lot of fun too.

I got this scene done in record time so I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I got this done in 8 hours FLAT. How many maniacal laughs do you get to animate in your career? Heheh.. (This would actually be number 2 for me)

Another small chunk of animation that I did for this series. This one was particularly fun to animate. I enjoyed animating the timing of Scardey noticing the tv camera at the beginning. ^_^

I haven't posted anything for a while mainly because I've been flat out busy animating on this series. I thought I'd post one of my latest clips as another teaser for this series.

This is not the final edit, or final sound.

Here's another one of my latest scenes from the "Scardey Squirrel" series. Animating in ToonBoom really makes doing things like animated staggers really easy to do. Which is good considering staggers are kinda tricky to do in traditional animation.

Drawn using a Wacom Cintiq (21UX), and animated in TOONBoom Animate Pro 2.

Here's another one of my latest scenes from Scardey Squirrel. If you're wondering what he's doing, he's trying VERY hard not to touch the grotty toilet seat in the outhouse. ^_~

I was running late with my deadline, but I managed to crank this one out in under 8 hours. This is a really fun series to animate on.

Scaredy Squirrel - rough animation

Scardey Squirrel - rough animation, originally uploaded by Fnook.

I thought I'd post part of my process for animating a "Scardey Squirrel" scene. Usually to get the acting right, an animator would make a very loose and rough first pass at the animation, using few key drawings and "breakdowns" to get a better idea on how to animate the scene before going through the time consuming process of doing final drawings.
