A Pigeon a Day

I'm trying to get motivated to draw every day. I started this week  by sketching pigeons in the park, and I thought I would carry on the theme in some kind of sketching/design exercise. To make the exercise a bit more interesting I made sure to use a different style for each pigeon each day.

Have a Happy Otter !

A Valentine's day card for my lovely wife. I hope at least she gets the reference.

Sad Story #1

I was inspired by The Brothers McLeod "Three Six Five" - one second of animation a day for a year. So I thought I would give it a bash. Starting with Sad Story #1 (Thanks Filippo and Aurora for initial spark of inspiration).

Then I realised that getting some good timing is more important than sticking to arbitrary time-frames, so I paced this tragic event a little more carefully.

Sad Story #1(.2) 

(very loosely) based on a true story

The second version is at a convenient 100 frames so maybe there is scope for a frame based theme afterall...

Here is the original 1 second long animation:
