For this semester's project I decided that I would like to try my hand at something I've been meaning to learn for awhile now: Creating an animation using Adobe Flash. I often like to stick to my own characters when creating things, because I want to eventually do something with them and I think using them for several projects is a good way to get things started. I'm not sure yet whether I want to do something like a comic book or an actual animation with them in the future, perhaps both. For this project, I'm going to use my character Em. Here are some past drawings that I did of him/her (not really gender specific).
I've also put together a few images of characters/styles that inspire me. These include Emily the Strange, work by Jhonen Vasquez, Tim Burton's illustrated work, and Edward Gorey.
Lastly, I've included a short flash animation that I really like the style of, which can be found here:
