Background 6/8 and 7/8 completed

The first background is in pieces and needs to stay that way as the scene involves flying up, falling down and crashing into the treetops. The second is a continuous image you may expect to find in side-scrollers.

I've still got a way to go yet. Needless to say, once I get all the backgrounds done it will be time to make the objects and put it all together.

Background 4/8 and 5/8 completed.

Don't you just hate it when you realize you have more to do?

Backdrop 3/7 Completed

I lost quite a bit of time playing "Tyrain 2000". Even so, I think this will serve my purposes just fine (it will only be up for 3.1 seconds). Try and guess what will happen here.

Backdrop 2/7 completed

As for what I'm working on, it will be revealed as I complete it (because surprises are nice). What I will tell you is that it will be all home made pixel-art, like a video game. This will be unlike sprite flashes (or cartoons made with characters ripped from videogames) in that I will be drawing everything myself and using characters that are either my own or are obscure references like Vinnie Puh(giving credit, of course). I've been working on this earlier so I have some done.

This week I finished backdrop 2/7. Personally, I think "not bad" describes it well (not particularly good but not bad). It will only be seen for about 3.1 seconds anyway. Hopefully, with practice, my pixel-art will improve.

Introduction

Greetings, I am an animator. I use Sothink SWF Quicker to make cartoons for the internet in my free time (said cartoons will be listed below). Unfortunately, with access to the internet (and after installing that stumble button) I have difficulty focusing on my work so my progress moves along at a snail's pace. This is where my Blog comes in. Every Sunday I will be giving a report on how much work I've done on my animation. I doing so I will keep myself accountable for any lack of work hence "encouraging" myself to do more work.

Here are some of my toons:
