Going Back To Work!

I've really been looking forward to return and work at CREW972, and even though I came to visit several times, it just wasn't the same.
I'm afraid there isn't a lot I can say about it, so I'll just say that I'm thrilled and really happy to come back :)

Have a happy passover!

Sex Bomb - WIP

I've been struggeling to find a chance and finish this last drawing (which hopefully would sell nicely as a T-shirt) but finally - it is done!
Here is a short break down of the stages I had to go through, starting as a rough sketch using my Wacom tablet and continue all the way to the final drawing.
Only now I see that somewhere between the rough sketch and the next level, I've lost some of the action of the character... but oh well, it's too late now :)

T-shirt design

During the last week, I've begun to design T-shirts and I hope some of them would sell.
Here are two of the Smilies I did today and I'm pretty happy with.
If you are curious about the rest of the gallery you are welcome to check it here (I'm afraid the site is in Hebrew).

Just wanted to say - Thank you!

I just wanted to thank you all, for visiting my blog. It's a big compliment for me to see how many people reading my blog, seeing my works and leaving comments.
Preety soon I'll be going back to work at a full time job (working at CREW972) but I'll keep posting as much as I can, so for the time being, I just wanted to thank you from all of my heart, and as always, if there is something you like, do feel free to comment and I'll be happy to respond.

What's New?!

Hi guys!
I'm happy to share with you my "new" blog.
I've decided it is time to move on and to give it a more professional look, now that I'm working in the animation industry. It's not totaly done yet, but it's enough for me to keep on posting and I'll keep my changes as I go.
Before I'll be getting back to work, I've decided to try and expand my fields of experties in animation, and start animating using Flash.

Here are two short samples I've made - it's just for testing so I'm pretty pleased with it.
