After a while in anactivity I have decided to update my portfolio with an animated short.

The concept is that of an insect-Lets call him BUG-flying into a light to get fizzeled. There is more to it, but thats all part of the surprise!

Now I know that the subject matter is a bit morbid, so I of course decided on a cartoony feel to it. I want to go for a Pixar like feel for the character-keeping him very simple-Like the birds in For the Birds.

Ooh he's funky lookin.. I dunno quite what's up with his shell and his wings, but they look neat! I'm just wondering-- why are his front 4 legs so fuzzy, and his back 2 aren't? And what are those weird circles around his eyes? Also, I think maybe his antennae could use a more interesting material, they look kinda plastic right now. It'll be interesting to see what you do with this guy!

Update:

Gnarly-I did what u advised (well, hinted towards) and redid his 'arms' to make them less hairy, and more 'bug like'.

Im also working on his eyes now...next update will show it.

Spliff-I want him 2 look messy-with his hair all 'clumpy'. This is my very first attempt at a character with fur-so im all up for experimentation!

I think this looks better. Maybe you should try some other color combination.
