Here is Turbo McSwine from my small press comic -- hey, neeters -- riffing the intro on Joe Satriani's Crowd Chant.

Turbo McSwine Plays Electric Guitar

Comments on the design or animation are welcome. Thanks!

This is was inspired by Acochran's guitar-playing dude:

I like the animation, and the design. And that character has the coolest name EVER!

Really nicely done. Some changes in expression would make it even better. Great design btw! :D

That's been the feedback from my family too. This is a base character, so I'll start adding more switches, actions, etc. to extend his expression.

Thank you all for the kind words, especially from such talented folks as yourselves. :)

The character design(which I think is great, by the way) seems better suited for frame by frame style animation, not cutout style. But I also agree that a few changes in expression would help a lot, even a simple eyeblink or two.

Will take this to heart. BTW, I really found your head turn vids incredibly helpful. Brilliant. :D
