Had to try out the new Troll rig from iAnimate with a quick cycle. Fun character!
Adventurer Run Cycle Test
Quick run-cycle animation test with the great Adventurer rig from Kiel Figgins. Having had so much fun with his Deadpool rig I was keen to try another of his and this one didn’t disappoint.
Lets talk about footroll..
A look at how the FootRoll attribute on IK leg controls can sometimes trip us up when animating walks and runs.. and an alternative approach which can give cleaner results in some cases. I also demonstrate how I like to clean things up to remove the dreaded knee pop.
Deadpool can dance
Had a lot of fun animating this sequence of dance moves with the great Deadpool rig by Kiel Figgins. Hope you enjoy it!
Still sketching..
Sketching every day, doing a life drawing class once a week and practicing at home the rest of the time, sometimes digitally and sometimes on newsprint. This is a digital sketch inspired by the villain in Saboteur (Hitchcock 1942).

A quick and fun animation with the great Deadpool rig by Kiel Figgins. Also trying out GIFs as a way of showing simple animations like this on social media etc.
Mr Squirrels Vs the Cracker
A very quick animation test to celebrate the holiday season 2016. Not super polished due to time constraints but hopefully the personality come across and makes up for that 🙂
Squirrels rig from AnimationMentor, Cracker rigged by me.
