I just wanted to show off this animation test I did for one of my Multimedia courses. I took the Baluki illustration I did a few months ago and created a walking loop in After Effects, then tossed down a bunch of trees and bushes and rendered it all out.

I don't know what I'm going to do with this though. I've thought about doing a series of animated clips, or perhaps a webcomic. But I don't know yet. In all likelihood, nothing will come of it. But I think it looks pretty cool.

I've been practicing a lot on Illustrator lately, and I was inspired to try to make a cartoon/comic version of Baluki, using nothing but vector graphics. And this is the result. I think it turned out pretty cool, and now I'm thinking that I'll probably do some of my other characters too.

I've also been thinking about MAYBE starting a webcomic, or maybe even some animations (I happen to be pretty decent with Flash as well). Don't hold your breath, because this wouldn't be the first time I've tried to launch a webcomic and then procrastinated or lost interest.

So, yea. Just thought I'd share. I had a lot of fun making it, and hopefully some of you out there think it's as cool as I do.

UPDATE: Oh, let me know which of my characters you think I should do next: male Tauren Hunter (this would be fun because I'd do his pig too), Female Undead Warlock, Male Orc Rogue, Female Blood Elf Paladin, Male Blood Elf Mage, Female Troll Shadow Priest.

About a week ago, a member of Convergence (the guild I'm in) announced that he'd have to take some time off for some sort of military issue. Another member remarked, "I hope they realize that now when the Scourge invade the US we will be woefully unprepared."

And I couldn't resist throwing this together:

I like how I was able to make it look like I had photographed it straight off an old TV.

We were doing Fankriss today, and somehow the encounter merged in my mind with the upcoming Samuel L. Jackson thriller "Snakes on a Plane", so I threw this together.

I've got way too much free time.
