One of These Things Is Not Like the Others

Some early character sketches for a story I'm working on with a friend.  (click to enlarge)

Yeah, a real story, with a real friend too.  The story is called "I'm Not Afraid of Bunnies" and it was written by Rick Walton.  I'll keep you folks updated on the progress of this book.  I'm already having fun with it and I've only just begun sketching.

Will Strong and the Purple Crayon

We ate at the Crayon Restaurant again recently.  Tiff requested an elephant playing badminton with a mouse.  And so:

PS: did any of you folks know that badminton is spelled with an 'n'?  I sure didn't until about two minutes ago.

Coming Soon

A layout sketch for a piece I'm working on. I hope to be able to paint this over the weekend but I need to spend sometime on my actual homework. Can't fail that writing class or I don't graduate in April.

A Bit of Rough Animation

I made this bit of rough animation today in Flash:

Robot with signs (rough animation) from Will Strong on Vimeo.

As it turns out animating is a ton of fun, especially if you do a simple 2-D robot that doesn't require any knowledge of mass or form. I know that there are timing issues that need to be taken care of (and it compressed funny too.) But I'm rather pleased with this.

Oh, by the way, this will be the intro movie for my new website which is currently under construction.

Signs of Things to Come

I don't even want to think about how many years ago I actually started this project or how many times I've started over. But there's good news: this project is fun again. That's exciting.
