Animation - Link Shooting an Arrow

Sorry for the watermark; blogspot wouldn't let me upload swf files and iWisoft was the best free software that converted swf to avi format.
Anyways, this was a fun animation project I attempted to finish for my roommate's birthday last year.

This short animation was parodied from one of Tales of Abyss opening: [link] [around 0:55/ yes, Natalia is shooting to our right, while Link is flipped and shooting to our left; if you're a Zelda fan, I hope you know the reason to this...]

Overall, it was fun!
Just have to share... in the first rough animation, Link's belt moving all over his torso & it made him look like he was belly dancing.
HILARIOUS!!! (especially because Link had a serious face on) Oh~ the things you don't notice until they're all put together...

Special thanks to Shoji for his endless, endless, endless, ENDLESS help & Naomi for encouragement!!!

Random Photoshop Practice

Just practicing my blending and tree trunk on photoshop. For a newbie, I like how it turned out. Got to keep practicing though.

Owen and Mzee

For the Christmas of 2010, my friends and I agreed on doing a White Elephant. The twist is we had to bring in something "homemade"
Nothing can be bought unless you're using it to make something. No baked goods either.

Anyways, my white elephant was an art project based the true story of a friendship between a baby hippo and a giant tortoise.
A giant tortoise (Mzee) adopts a baby hippo (Owen) who got separated from his herd in a tsunami.
