Description So, I was doodling in a class when a bunch of poses started working their ways into my digital sketchbook. Its a habit I have where random doodles suddenly start taking notice of each other and connecting themselves into ....something. Anywho, the pose doodles became a coherent sequence (relatively speaking), which I then took into Plastic animation paper [link] (like I ever get tired of trying to push this on people ... well, if you're on a windows machine) to turn into an actual thumb/pencil test.

I'm not quite happy with the results.

The "12-principles" stuff (timing, squash/stretch, exaggeration, secondary, etc...) isn't really a problem. I mean, I can and will fix/tweak that once I figure out what I want to do with this. See that's the problem.

I wasn't really thinking when I started doing this, and as such I don't really plan as to what I wanna do with it. I kinda wanna use it as the "air" portion of a reboot to my avatar animation [link] (As much as I/everyone likes the original, It's been at least a year, and I lost the files. If I wanted to continue, I'd pretty much have to redo it if I wanted to finish it somewhat sane). On the other hand, I've really been fishing for things to do with this character [link] [link] and an extended sequence of this would be pretty cool.

Whatcha think?
