Back in the Saddle

I didn't think I was going to be quite as busy as I was the last couple of weeks. I'm winding up the last few episodes of "3-2-1 Penguins!" and looking for my next gig. And when it rains it pours.

I had three, freelance jobs this last week. And one more waiting in the wings. They are all development or writing deals, so I can't talk much about them.

However, one of my clients worked out a barter with me. I don't usually work that way, but he's a good friend. He bought me a copy of ToonBoom Studio 4 in exchange for the work I did for him.

I just sat down today to play with it. Within an hour, I created the following run cycle.

It takes a little getting used to drawing with the vector based pen. But I think I'll like getting used to it. I'm looking forward to trying out the other features that work more like Flash animation.

This could be fun!
