Very odd, but very good as well. Nice example of what AS can do.

I don't know why, but it kinda reminds me of that show "The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy".

This is brilliant! Were the characters drawn directly in Anime Studio Pro or images imported from an art package?

Thanks for the comments everyone. Synthsin, is it really that odd? I take that as a compliment anyhow, thankyou.
Chewanater, I have lead a very sheltered existance and I was not aware of "Bill and Mandy". I had a look and liked what
I saw, so thankyou as well. Fliptop I have seen your ambitious animation series (pilot?) well done.
Billamu, the characters were sketched roughly on paper, scanned into photoshop saved as PNGs and imported into ASP.
These were then "traced" .But really the design evolves a lot from the original sketches.
This project was really a vehicle in which I could learn and apply different techniques in ASP. I still feel like I don't know
what I'm doing half the time, I guess that's the same for everyone.

It's just an old cartoon about the Grim Reaper and two children I used to watch.

Wow.
What a great animation. I can just imagine he number of hours that went into doing that. The transitions were superb. Very professionally done indeed.
Keep up the great work.
Paul.

Thanks paulcopeland,
I worked on this project during the last 6 weeks. Doing it at my own pace, with a learning curve to climb at the same time. I would be horrified to see how many actual hours I put into it. I used Pinnacle Studio to edit etc.

Now this is my kind of show!! Hope this ends up being more than just a teaser. Big thumbs up on character design, concept, and humor.
