wow, has it been that long?

Shere Kahn - as animated by Milt Kahl

have I really not posted anything here since January? I’ve been busy animating cats and keeping my blogging under 140 chars in length, that’s my excuse! anyway, I’m back in the more traditional and verbose form of blog in order to post a link to another blog I’ve just been made aware of: Pencil Test Depot is the work of one Jamaal Bradley, he’s made it his mission to scour the webs looking for those most wonderful things:- 2d pencil tests, mostly from classic (and some not-so-classic) animated Disney films, including the work of Milt Kahl among others. These snippets are like crack for 2d animators, showing the rough stages behind some very famous sequences indeed. I’ve always preferred the looser nature of my own rough work, and love to see that in other people’s work too, so this blog is one I’ll be keeping a very avid eye on!

 

Hello world!

Jeez, i’ve already messed this blogging thing up by going and writing a page when I should’ve written a post. durrrh. Anyway, go and read the page if you want to know what this blog is for and all that, but I’ll bang the link from it at the bottom of this post so as to make it worthwhile:

so, to start things off, here’s a link to a particularly neat website I came across the other day, the product explorer is a beautiful (if not necessarily very useful!) way of showing an extensive range of clothing:
