A fun side project between animator Latham Arnott and myself. We wanted to flex our muscles and try to take an otherwise overdone and boring animation cycle and make it a bit more interesting.

For me, it was a challenge in designing the character to be energetic and unique but simple, and even more, ready for animation rather than just designing for a still frame. For Latham, how much energy can you inject into a simple cycle of x frames and make it look like something that we created, and no one else?

The result was really well received and Latham went on to create a tutorial of how he rigged it all up here.
