Tim slipping on a banana peel

Well I was feeling a bit ambitious this evening and decided to do a better 3/4 pose the character Tim that I created for the 2D animation class I am taking.

The story has time getting up from a lawn chair to get a ball that came into his yard from the neighboring house, where some childern are playing. On the way to pick up the ball Tim slips on a banana peel that he did not see. This is a pose of him falling away from the viewer.

Tripping Tim Animation (Walking)

This is a walk animation created of Tim from the model sheet posted previously.

The walk could be a little smoother maybe a couple of more tweens would have helped. I also wanted to add so squash and stretch to Tim's belly to make it a bit more humorous.

2D Animation Model Sheet "Tripping Tim"

This is the model sheet for the 2D animation class that I am taking. The character was for a story that was given to us and we had to create a character and model sheet. There was nothing about the size of the character. The only thing that were were told is that Tim is 20-30 years old and wears glasses. I created 3 different concepts and this one I think was the best of the 3.

This was the first concept that I had for Tim, he looks a bit too old in this version.

Here was my second concept a bit younger looking than the first concept but needed to push the character more.

3D Model - Avatar AMP Suit

I am still working on this even though the class is over. When I chose this the instructor said that he thought it might be too much detail to model. Turned out that he was right but you know if you don't push yourself you will never get better. So this is a work in progress...

This is a detail view of the hand

View of the arms the sphere in the middle is a place holder for the torso.

This is as far as I got by the time this had to be turned in.

This is a detail view of the upper arm there are 7 individual parts to this view

The AMP Suit is being modeled with the intention of rigging and animating it.

The work on this will continue as time permits. I will post a detail of the leg later.
