Wednesday March 20, 2002AsterixApologies for lack of updates here. I'm working (slowly) on Episode 5, but I'm concentrating on getting well. Oh, and a kind of ridiculously busy patch at work. I've still drawn a little ascii art, but the idea of sitting down and animating something (especially as Episode 5 will start off in the dark where we left off in Ep 4) just seems to give me a headache at the moment. So here is my most recent work: ===.

Asterix's sword kindly diddled by
Harry Mason (hjm) from alt.ascii-art.Asterix created by Goscinny and Uderzo. See the 'making-of' here. Missing shadowsFor episode 4 I spent a lot of time editing to make sure that the shadows of Chickenman and Red Ted looked right when they move. Yet somehow, I managed to miss out their shadows completely the last time they are seen moving across the screen. The animator's art is all about attention to detail!Sun Mar 17 Fri Mar 22 |
