Did this bumper for a website called Swizzer (a local website for college students):

I think it turned out pretty nice. Most of it was made using bones. The eyes and mouth shapes were created using point manipulation.

I'm going to create a blog post soon chronicling the making of this little bumper. There's actually more to it then you'd think.

I also included the storyboards which I stick pretty close to. The rig I built is fairly simple to use but you can do a lot with it which is why I'm eager to try out more stuff. My aim is to give my work a more three dimensional "feel" while still maintaining a 2D "look".

Haha, that scream was gold at the end

I like it, nice gestures for the face, brings out the character well.

Lost the nipples somewhere along the lines, but looked great!

They were surgically removed when the tattoo was done

That was very well done... (cracked me up!)

Haha yep. They were in there at one point but were clashing with the tattoo
