   2D Animation and Other Tidbits
I'm finally in the Intro to 2D Animation class.It's just the second week and we've already animated a few simple things.I have to finish a bouncing rubber ball and a bouncing bowling ball by next week.Making all the drawings isn't too bad, but scanning each drawing one at a time gets really boring very quickly.I got bored scanning 20 pictures, I can't imagine scanning hundreds.It's like that one episode of Rocko's Modern Life where Rocko, Philbert, and Heffer were up all night scanning an entire episode's worth of drawings.At over 30 drawings for a second of film...Cripes I hope that's a job for another group of people.

I got a tablet a few weeks ago for my computer, so I've been trying that out.It took a little while but I think I'm getting used to it.Now I can actually trace my pencil drawings on the computer instead of on paper.No more worrying about the perfect scan!(Other than cutting off portion anyway.)I recently used it to trace the lines of an expression study of Walter from Hellsing.I'm still coloring it right now, put I'll put it up as soon as I'm done. I'm sure you'll notice a difference the the outlines in that and the penned outlines.The tablet was expensive, but it was worth it.

I recently found out that the Vampire Hunter D manga is coming out next month.I thought they'd never bring it to the states.I'm hoping that the talking hand's origin will be explained.I've been wondering about that for awhile now.

One last thing: I just finished updating my website.I finally finished that fanfic and I'm working on a couple of others.I posted a new anime fanart piece here at theotaku as well.
