Description Here's most of the concepts I did for the hamster before I got to animating him. The concepts are chronological from left to right as I narrowed them down to the two final running poses on the right. If you go to the Run Hamster, Run! website [link] , you can see individual comments I wrote as the drawings progressed. Tell me what you think!

I did not program the game. The programmer actually proposed the idea to me, so I just ran with it and this is what I came up with!

Awesome! It's great to see what came of that. This has some really sharp animation, I hope it proves successful.

Thank you much! I appreciate it! I plan on posting animations from the game when the app is released, so keep an eye out for them.

That seems to be the consensus with the snake. I didn't reference Kaa, but since I have an overall Disney style, I'm not surprised. I should have studied Kaa a little just to make sure my design looked more original. haha!

sometimes there is no telling how a design will read. when i look at it again, your snake definitely has a boxier snout. in any case, there is only so much you can do with a snake character!

nonetheless i will pimp out the app. it is incredible.

I'm sure if I did a little more research, I could have come up with something more original and yet appealing... It's lazyness that will be my downfall. Thanks for pimping the app! I definately appreciate it.

Perhaps one day. If it sells well on the iPhone, who knows what might happen.
