I really adore Telltale’s The Walking Dead, especially seeing Clementine’s development growing up.

Thank goodness Season 3 is finally out.

I felt the need to make a quick wallpaper of Clementine, based on a very badass shot of her in Episode 2.

I’ve recently discovered the  11 Second Animation Club and its monthly competition of animating a random piece of dialogue.  

I thought I’d give this month’s dialogue a try for fun, and animate just a few seconds to see what I can do at the moment.

I never properly appreciated how challenging lip syncing could be, especially with quick dialogue. Probably was too early for me to try it, but I gave it a shot and learnt some new tricks too, so no regrets!

I’ve been working in Maya some more, and am finally getting used to working with all that spaghetti in the Graph Editor.

Here’s another walk cycle as I experiment, featuring my exaggerated take of a melancholy moody teen moping about.

My interpretation of the German play “Der Besuch der alten Dame” (The Visit of the Old Lady) as a book cover. 

I’m currently studying it at A-Level and it’s so absorbing, I tried drawing my own cover for fun since I’m not fond of the official ones.

Also my school copy of the book had its front cover ripped off, so...

... all fixed! Two birds with one stone.

If you know the play, you can perhaps notice the hidden symbols, meanings and references. :)

My first complete walk cycle in Maya! I decided to go for a horse due to my latest obsession with them.

I decided to go for a stuck-up, pretentious march after seeing funny references like this, and thought it would be a fun exercise to work out the timing for such a march.

Here’s the rough animation I did to help plan out the cycle-
