Old and new stuff.

Hey!
Here's some stuff I had been working on. One of them isn't new actually, it was an old jump animation I left unfinished out of frustration (yeah, bad me :P ). And the second one is a basics animation, with a tennis ball, canon ball, and a balloon I animated for a studio test.

Hey! Been working on the Quadruped walk cycle using the Great Dane rig, and its sweet!! :) Here are a few planning sketches, helped me a ton while I was on Maya. Greatly reduces the time you spend on blocking the poses out. Used some 2D animations, images, and real life footage.

 

 

Heres the blocking. Only the rear part for now, will post the finished version asap.

Any feedback would be well appreciated.
Thanks :)

First post!

Hey!
Welcome to my blog, I'm Shashank Duggi, a character animation student from India. I'll keep posting my animation and drawings as often as possible. I had already given Tumblr a try, but left out unhappy with a few things , like the inability to embed mov files, and only one youtube link per post. So, here me shifting to blogger.

Good day :)
