Number Munchers!

So here's basically what I've been puttering about with for the last two weeks or so. Number Munchers was an educational computer game that I played on the old Apple ][ in kindergarten (oh god, I feel old saying that...).

I was obsessed with this game as kid, and now, I've been playing around with a redesign, partially for kicks, partially to practice simple animation, and partially as a portfolio piece. Yes, I'm aware that there's some unnecessary feathering in "empty" boxes, I still need to clean it up for a final.

Google "Virtual Apple" if you want to play the original. It's easier if you enable the Java version. If you worked for MECC, let me know! Let me tell you personally how much this game made an impact on me!

Eat, Die, and Live!

Last week's City Pages comic- the last of the Doctor Abner comics... for now...

(for the astute, there was a little bit of animation in this post. Originally. But I've taken it down because I'm making a post that'll be more on point.)

This week's City Pages Back Page Comic... Part two of a limited series featuring Docto Abner.

Animatic #6! And the Standees (again)! And a blast from the past!

Pretty neat, huh? This is the last Hoogie and Stiff animatic for the foreseeable future. I capped myself at 6, to prevent myself from not doing other things Linendoll's and other related. BUT if a really good idea comes up for another one of these, I'm going to hit it... :)



Just this picture again. More in yesterday's post, I'm just fond of my expression in this one. Not too far from being called s**t-eating opened-mouth grin, I'd say...



OH! I was digging through old files, and found this gem from my college days, when I took Introduction to Animation in the Fall of 2005. Cute, eh?

Hoogie and Stiff Animatic number 5!

Just finished this while continuing The Great LOST Cram of 2010."



Youtube works again! So I've also reposted number 4. Sorry, Vimeo. I want it up now!

Hoogie and Stiff Animatic #3!

Here's a third rough animatic- I'm rather fond of this one, and I think it's one of the more successful ones in terms of timing and humor.

Hoogie and Stiff Animatic: Bowling

Second animatic for a speculative portfolio piece!
Today I'm baking stollen with my Ma. Good work out for the shoulder muscles, as kneading this bread is a tough task!
