Worked on it for 2 more hrs. It's been a productive/fun memorial day weekend. Got some good practice with squash and stretch, hold and poppage.

Turned the model black so you can see the silhouette.

A personal project. I really wanted to do an attack animation of some kind after seeing kung fu panda 2. The fight scenes had great flow and rhythm.

Just playing around in max for 2-4 hrs. Heres a playblast of an attack im doing for a mage/rogue type character. Its only my initial pass. I'll probably add 1 or 2 more attacks to the chain, and add more breakdowns whenever i revisit it. I just wanted to get some practice w/ body mechanics.. animate some spins and jumps....

It's been a solid 8-10 months since ive textured/painted, or done anything in 2D other than 3D character animation. drinkin some scotch, listening to good music, and some good old fashion drunken painting...  It was fun just to have some free time to paint.

1.5 hrs just painting w/ no initial concept. Just starting painting and somehow ended up painting naked chicks + monsters.
