Description (Okay so it's not really a pencil test... they really should just make that the 'Rough' category!)

I'm very excited and happy to finally be able to share this! I've been working on a project helmed by the talented aficionado of all things cute and cuddly, *littlemunch -- her pitch pilot for Samurai Chinchilla, which will hopefully become an animated series in the future!

This is the rough version of an animation test that I did so that Kristine could try out the look and style of the cartoon. Too much fun to animate the main character Ringo! The finished test can be found here: [link] Also featuring a background done by my bb ~diCagliostro ! ♥

If you like what you see and would like to support this idea, VOTE for Samurai Chinchilla in the 2012 Animation Magazine Pitch Party ! And if you use Facebook, do visit Samurai Chinchilla's page and 'like' it to be kept in the loop for updates - a Kickstarter campaign and an artbook are in the works! Kristine is currently having an open fanart call for the artbook, so if you're inspired enough to draw fanart, feel free to send it her way (her contact info will be on the facebook page). I hope to see little Ringo and his friends someday make it to the small screen for the kids of the future (and adults alike) to enjoy

This is probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life. If this ever becomes a show of some sort, I'll be watching it. Not to mention I'll head over to those links and see what I can do to help.

But back to the topic, not only is this cute, but you've done a really good job with the animation, and the character design. I really enjoyed this even if it was rough.

swift-whippet In reply to Kaykao [2012-06-15 01:33:45 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! Means a lot that you took the time to check out my ramblings and actually show your support. I'm glad you love the idea so much! Definitely check out Kristine and her team's character designs, concept art and such on the facebook page, awesome stuff!

I can't take credit for this character's design since he was completely created and designed by Kristine/~ponchopalomine . But I'm glad you like the animation! Ringo is a great design and he was a blast to bring to life.

Thanks again for your wonderful comments and support

No problem, its the least I can do, right? I've already checked out her page and I'm watching her account for updates, I'll head over to the facebook page today.

And you did bring him to life quite well; your powers of animation have never ceased to amaze me.

And again, you're very, very welcome!

I can't take credit for the character, he is the brainchild of ~ponchopalomine I'm glad you think I did a good job of capturing his tough guy attitude though!
