Please check out my latest Moho animation and let me know what you think. My animation skills are still really rubbish but I'm going on a course in October

So hopefully that will help me improve.

I wish I had some non-copyrighted music to add to it but oh well.

Hope you enjoy

Really super stuff! I gave it 5 stars, and well deserved too. I like the voices, very well done. What course are you going on - can I go too

You certainly have talent. Keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot JimmyC, yeah Chris who did the voices did a great job.

Ah you're in the UK so maybe. I'm going on an Introduction to animation course run by the University of the West of England (Bristol). Starts 5th October and it's 4hours every Saturday for 5 weeks. £150 but there's only 10 places so hurry if you think you might be able to go.

I think it's mostly going to be hand drawn animation so i'm hoping I'll learn more technique, weight, timing etc.

Anyway, thanks again!

Too far for me (N.I.) I was hoping it was on-line. I'm sure you will enjoy the course - sounds great. Best wishes.

Oh my god that's hillarious!

Don't know what you mean about your anim skills ~~ the timing's spot on to generate a good laugh!

Your drawing style reminds me of a show that airs weekly here in the states ~~ it's called "King of the Hill" and was originated by the same guy that did "Beavis and Butthead" back in the old millenium I believe...

Excellent job,
Characters look great, and the voice work is fantastic too...

5*s from me ... and good luck at the course.

Thanks guys

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I love King of the Hill, I'd never noticed the similarity before, I was trying to avoid being too Simpsons inspired.

Loved the way captured the Star Wars character. You're a good artist.

In my first Animation Class, everything was hand drawn. There were no computers. For economy sake we used cut out animation. Cell animation was too expensive and time consuming.

Looking too see more from you.

I enjoyed your Star Wars animation very much. I found it funny and the timing was great. Perhaps just try varying the hands a little. Rather than all the fingers in a single group try a little variation between the fingers. It just seemed to draw my eye to them too much.

Thanks, i'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the tip on the hands, i'll keep an eye on them for future characters. I always leave the hands to the end as they're so tricky.
