Man. I stop paint and render for one week and I forget a lot of stuff I learned.
There is so much to study I love it and hate it.

District Manager

District manager and his secretary. I don't have names for them yet.
Also no colour because it's getting late.

Arch Enemy

I thought of few interesting stories involving a miracle surgeon Jack-Black and his assistant Pam.
The source material is Osamu Tezuka's Black Jack. This current design is too similar but I'll keep playing around from here.

Can't Remember 03

I'm going to leave it here for now. I might clean up the body keys  if I want to use it for a demo reel but that's the extent I will work on this.

Animating this was little different than what I do at work. With this I had to be a lot more subtle and ease in and out much more than I used to.

My biggest challenge when doing this on Toon Boom is character design and rigging. It wouldn't be too bad if I plan meticulously and draw lots of body parts beforehand but I always get so eager to animate that I just skip few things that I should do when building the rig. For this particular build, if I were to revisit it, I would add separate jaw element as well as draw more front mouth shapes and hair shapes.

Part 2 of this animation. I learned to use deformer tool in Toon Boom and I had to try it. 

I used the deformer on the pillow in the last few frames.

If I were to ever end up animating the body, it might look like this..
