My First Animation

My very first Flash animation. Unfortunately, it wasn't submitted in time, and I was having problems that I couldn't figure out so I didn't get to submit it for a mark at all. Every single time I tried to export it, the files were always corrupt, and I didn't know what to do about it. I tried to copy everything into a new file, but it messed things up even worse.

Well, at least I know that I tried, and I'm very proud of my work. I hope to update this and make it better in the future.

I know that I completely failed in terms of marks this year, but it was never about getting marks for me. I wanted the experience and help, and I got so much more than that. I more than doubled my skills, gained so much self-confidence, learned valuable life lessons, and made so many wonderful friends. This year in Animation was an experience that I wouldn't exchange for anything else in the world.

I'm considering going back in the fall for Year 1 again, either to re-take the courses that I did well in to do even better, or to take the courses that I couldn't do. But I don't think that's a good idea, as they were very stressful and not completely relevant to what I want to do. The option is there, and I'll have to think about it. It also depends on if I already have work by the time classes come back.

That's all from me for today. Now I'm gonna be spending my day looking for odd jobs online. Wish me luck, and have a great summer.

Marketplace Background




Arabian Market
A background for a marketplace that I am very, very proud of. I've placed a few online game references in here.

Teacup Bunnies

Teacup Bunnies Easter Cards
These are the first two of at least six bunny cards that I'm making for class. I also posted them to a brand new deviantART account called SpeckledBunny, so if you happen to stumble upon these there, it's just me :)

I'll post more as I make them.

First successful background!

Jungle Layout
I am very, very happy and excited about this drawing, as it is the first good background that I've drawn in my whole life! Before I came here to take the Animation course, I'd be lucky if I could draw two circles for hills and a smaller circle for a sun. It still needs work in the future, but for now, I shall celebrate!

Older Drawing Jams

Me in the style of Neopets
Snooki in the style of Gorillaz
Claudio Sanchez in the style of Spawn... yeah, I don't know who he is, either.
