Unicycling Skülly
Sküllboy is 50% partner here at BoneHaüs and he's a blast to have around! He's got a knack for alternative sports (pogoing, skateboarding, unicycling, table hockey, mini golf) and seems to pick things up quickly. Here he is juggling a cactus, torch, and a bowling pin. Forever.
I originally created this version of skully to help further his identity at Bonehaus. Basically, the further I develop this character and the things he does, the things he wears, how he behaves, moves, sounds etc the further along I develop the studio. Doing these sort of things inspire me to keep making personal work as well as inform the work I want to do.

ANIMATION
Latham Arnott
I think that part of the litmus test to a good character design is if you can hand it off to other people with some general outlines and have it improve a tenfold. In this case, I was able to give one pose to Latham for animation and he took it to a whole different level. He remarked multiple times how easy it was to work with such a fun character, and the way he moves etc is very obvious.
