Week 5 sketchblog

Foundation drawings for my emotional walk cycle animation; thought y'all might enjoy seeing these.








And here's three things from my sketchbook; all fictional (except that Willy -- maybe.)

A rarely seen Italian feature animation

A rare animated movie that some consider an Italian Fantasia.
Viewers be warned: some frontal nudity. Kids: ask your parents.

Our Story So Far...
Space...The Final Frontier...
Then, there was this little ship, and then, like, there was a bunch of lights and special effects, and then a frickin' huge white ship. There was some guys wearing trash-can lids who got shot by some white guys, then Samuel Jackson walked in and started squeezin' necks. A white 'n' blue trashcan and a gold guy, I think he was Frodo, they got pooped out of the spaceship and fell in Iraq. Then Obi-Wand Kenn-something found them and that kid Luke, so they all got in a spaceship after Hand Soldo talked with Jabba (gross! he walked on his tail!). Then on another spaceship, the girl from the first spaceship who had the robots was prisoner of some other white guys, and they wanted her to tell them where the Rebel base was. She was all"No way!", and they were"Way!", and she said "I thought I told you No. Way!", and then they said, "We'll shoot your planet!" so she decided they must be telling the truth, because it was a big spaceship, and said they were on Dantoween (is that like Guava-ween?). But they shot her planet anyways. Back on the Philadelphia Falcon, old guy Ben showed Luke some magic tricks with a stick and a ball, and that ball was floatin' real good, but then he got senile and weird so he had to sit down. Maybe he had some bad Fritos.
Not The End!
