Marlo the Meerkat - Weight Lifting Final

Here is my final pass at my weight lifting animation for my character Marlo Meerkat. I feel like it turned out really well and smooth for how many inbetweens I have. I always feel as though some things could be better but I'm calling this finished for now. My favorite part is when he picks up the safe, I'm diggin' the movement in his ears. 83 (75, the last frame is held 8) frames in total, with about 30 individual frames. This was a project for my Principles of Animation II class.

Clean(er) Weight Lifting Keys - Marlo the Meerkat

I've cleaned up the keys for my weight lifting animation. Now to smooth it up with some inbetweens! I think it's looking pretty decent, I especially like the movement in the ears when Marlo grabs the safe.

Marlo At Gunpoint - Marlo Cooper Sketch

A quick sketch I did of Marlo Cooper during my Drawing II class when we were supposed to be sketching posture gestures. Decided to translate that into meerkat and voila, Marlo at gunpoint.

Still Life Value Study #2 - Unfinished

Another still life value study I did for my Drawing II class. I think I had better values going for this than my previous one (which I ruined, by the way), but as you can see, it's largely unfinished. Sometimes things don't go as planned...this was one of those times.

Rough Lifting Animation Keys - Marlo the Meerkat

Here is a rough animation I am currently working on for my Principles of Animation II class. It's really rough, it needs some fixing and cleaning up, and then I will start inbetweening to start smoothing it out. It's just 12 keys at the moment, timed out for 75 frames in total.
