11 Second Club entry by neeters_guy

This is my second 11 Second Club entry since last November. I got to use smart bones quite extensively for the elbows and knees movements. Great feature.



Hope you enjoy and comments welcome.

So good! It reminds me somehow the Smurfs...
I love the "bouncy" girl!

Great work neeters_guy!!!
Did you do the background in AS as well? It looks hand painted.

Cheers

Heh, I hadn't thought of Smurfs, but I do admire Peyo's art style.

I created the background in ArtRage, a swell natural media program. Honestly, it's a lot looser than I like. I did it as a placeholder, but it's probably good enough for this contest.

Thanks for comments. I'll post the results next month.

[Mikdog]

nice!

[beachbumlarry]

I like it... Excellent work!

[neeters_guy]

Wow, thanks mikdog and beachbumlarry. That means a lot coming from such great animators.

One suggestion I received was to address "twinning". I redid some of poses to be more asymmetrical, as best as I could anyway (I really should create another view, but... ).

[neeters_guy]

Results are in. Actually scored lower this time. I think I study up on making better acting choices next time.

Excellent work

Yeah Neeters, they are a little tough over there. Even the top ones were only getting like 6's and 7's. I went ahead and did one, ended up about where I expected. Actually just glad to crack top 100.




Been slowly working on this month's.

[lwaxana]

Nice one! Great character designs as always and I like the way she moves to avoid his arm gestures.

Thought I'd put all my 11 Second Club entries in one thread. Here's one for Aug. 2013.



I did this in 9.5 and I got to experiment using smart bones to create slight shifts in head movement, both vertical and horizontal.

[Danimal]

Very realistic movement. There was one moment where the woman's head sort of squishes and then stretches - that really added some dynamics to this. Well done!

[Danimal]

I went ahead and did one

I like both the "lineless" animation style and especially the guys on the side with their tongues hanging out. Always a funny visual. Good job!

[neeters_guy]

Results. I'm a little disappointed...my score is getting lower each time, but the feedback gives me good idea what I need to work on: Too stiff, too pose-to-pose, needs followthru and overlapping action, and less mechanical timing.



Incidentally, mrmoi2000 entry did well: http://www.11secondclub.com/competition ... try/TjTef7 Congrats!
