Hello everyone, hope you all are having a nice weekend.
Since I just starting to learn about animation I figured I should take baby steps and start small. Here is a little animated avatar of myself in sort of a South Park style. My main goals this time around where to figure out how to set up the structure of the toon, how to create the eyes with bones (Thanks to Myles tutorials on his website), use intermediate switch layers for the arm transition from a lower to upper position, add in just a slight bit of secondary motion and lastly how to export to flash while retaining the line width and shading. I don't have flash but I think it should be embedded correctly in my web page, if you have problems seeing it please let me know.
I wanted to keep sort of a snappy TV style to the animation so I didn't do much tweening. Also because he is short and fat I didn't do any extreme poses. I will have save that for the next test.
