Animation I did for a Hanna-Barbera inspired project im working on with friends based on characters created by ourselves.
I did this on a whim today despite no prior animation experiences keeping with the limitations Hanna-Barbera had in the early 60s.
I gotto say Im pleased with the final result.

Good. I'm only just starting out and I'm not having some jack-holes with more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime taking a piece of the pie I'm baking that they made NO contribution to!

Taylor Zander's October episode was one I thought was going to be a nightmare.
Its 16 pages instead of the usual 8. But I've gunned it, and a month and a half of work doing all the pencils turned out to be a mere 12 days.
I still have ink and colour to do but that takes less time than pencil.

I dont mind either way if people like or don't like the comics I'm making.
Ill continue to put my all into them as always, but as long as people are talking about them one way or another, it has all been worth it.

Only just figured how to do panel templates on photoshop.
Had I figured this out a year ago, I'd have been doing Taylor 2 digitally from Page 50.
