An AM Meeting in Tel Aviv

Last Thursday we made an AM group meeting of all the Israeli students (and alumni).
It was a lot of fun, finally seeing the faces behind the names we've known for a long time, and also to know new people.

Thanks to Yair Mor who took those pictures.

The 11 Second Club - March - Thumbnails

Here are the poses I've decided to make as my main keys for this month's animation challenge at the 11SC.

Can't wait to sit down and start animate!

Happy Purim !

I know it might be a little early, but I couldn't wait... I had an itch to draw something for the holiday which will be here soon.
Generally, I hate clowns. When comes to think about it, I've never really liked them really - they always looked scary or just plain stupid.

Since purim is all about costumes, and well recognized with clowns, I've decided to "go with the flow" and make a quick drawing with a more nicer clown.

Happy Purim everybody!

Now you listen to me!

I've decided to participate in This month's competition in the 11 Second Club.
I thought it could be pretty funny if the menacing man will threaten non other than his dog (to be revealed at the long shot in the end).

I've sketched out some really rough thumbnails to start exploring the sequence, then take out some poses, put back in and shift their possitions.
For now I've only made it mostly golden poses and less inbetweens.

Getting There.... Slowly...

Hi guys. Sorry I haven't been updating during the last two weeks.
It doesn't mean I haven't been working on my drawing - Here is a short snapshot of my current drawing project (it's a huge painting - about 7,000 px wide, and about 200 layers!).

It isn't finished yet, and I still find my self going back and forth here and there until I get what I wish to achieve, but I'm pretty happy with what I got so far.
I promise I'll upload several snapshots (or maybe just a one big picture) once I'll finish, showing every little detail (and trust me - there are quiet a few!).

Here is the first two animals and the locomotor...
