THROWBACK THURSDAYS 31

I wanted to really clean this one up and go all out on the colors, but time did not permit. I used to enjoy watching the gummie bears get loaded up on Juice and bounce all over the place to save the day. I feel the same way when I drink Patron. I couldn't squease 2 of the bears into the composition (Grammi Gummi and Gruffi Gummi) The show had a pretty decent run of 95 episodes.

I scanned in a pic from my sketchbook of Hadji from Johnny Quest. I Netflixed the new JQ DVD's and sketched this out, it was fun to relive my childhood memories of watching this show. The style of the show was ahead of it's time with amazing designs by Alex Toth.

I decided to play with my food today. I got a little inspired when I saw Spacesick's "Food with faces" so for the past few days I have been doodling with the wacom over some food photos I took a while back. I'm taking it back to the OLD SCHOOL with a classic B-Boy theme. I popped in some classic breakdance dvd's like Beatstreet and Wild Style to get in the zone.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to sketch out any new Throwbacks this Thursday. I did however come across some old Top Cat pencil test animation from back in the day. It was a great chance to animate to the wonderful sounds of Louis Prima. I hope this can tide you over until next Thursday. Oh! don't forget to click the pause button at the beginning of this post header to silence the hip hop beats.

Shinji Hashimoto DEMO

I like good Anime, and from time to time I see scenes in one that blow me away. Come to find out, animator Shinji Hashimoto tackled a few of them. He was also the one who directed the animation in "Kids Story" from the Animatrix. I love his sketchy style of animation and the way he incorporates the handheld camera effect. I came across his demo reel on youtube and thought I'd share it with you.

Here are a few sketches of some shady characters for a project I'm working on. Just a couple of characters involved in a dice game outside a barber shop.

Just thought I'd go over these characters with some thicker brush lines. Below is another shady character.
