Okie Dokie...

My first bit of animation so far, myself and The Dale are doing most of the actual animating. I wanted to put more expression into the eyes, to make the character more believable and to make him look as if he is cautious of something in the background.

I drew the original frames in photoshop, moving each layer slightly to emphasise the eyebrows. Then put the saved jpegs into toon boom to work the timing and spacing properly, then exported it as a quicktime mov.

I'm pleased with the variation of the expression on his face compared to that of the sting, even though they were the key frames, and I like the pause when the pupils are highest it seems as if he is focusing.
