“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” -Neil Gaiman

My first New Year’s Message, and still the best of them. Tonight I’ll write a new one, and I do not yet know what it will say.

Girl you so fine

you got those helicopter legs, spinnin’ round

maybe you can give me a lift to the grocery store

Oh girl, you’re like a babe-copter

And your landing pad is my heart

I thought it might be a good idea to put all of my Batman-inspired animations (to date) in one post, to quell any confusion as to their origins.

I’d like to thank all the wonderful people who have enjoyed these animations over the past 7 months. Each of these take so much work and planning to create, and I really try hard to bring people something of quality and consideration. There are a few things though I wish to clarify about them though:

These are all my own work, with everything first drawn and animated by hand in ink, then scanned in and colored in Photoshop. Various 3d elements are also modeled and rendered by me in trueSpace (an ancient 3d program, but really intuitive for me and great for this type of work), and then finished up in AfterEffects.

They are not part of a larger work; each are stand-alone animated illustrations, though I’d love to one day make something as involved and wonderful as Otaking77077’s INCREDIBLE Star Wars animation. If you don’t know it, watch it NOW…it’s a huge huge inspiration to me.

I do plan on making more, but I am a full-time illustrator, so I only get to do these on my free time, which along with how much work they require is why there are only a few right now. But definitely hope to make more (especially if DC/WB ever were to ask for them…hint hint)

I don’t mean to sound petty or pedantic…just meant to address some FAQ’s I get.

Anyway, again, thanks to anyone and everyone who ever stops by and takes a look at these…I make them for us all to enjoy :)

Neat!

Damian!

Not sure how I’m going to colour this. Maybe I’ll finish later.

I think I may have posted this before, but w/e.

This new Looper Animation is very, very special.

Zach Johnson (who did these painted posters) has made a gorgeous animation, by hand painting over 700 frames. The gif above is pulled from it, but you need to see the whole thing. I want every single one of them on my wall. Check it out over at Apple Trailers.

That’s what I’m talking about.
