Back to character animation

So...when I left university I decided to polish up on my character animation skills because my FMP was so long, that I did not have the time to go back and polish the animation so it kinda sucked and when I tried redoing it, I pretty much lost motivation and kept getting sidetracked and thats when i made a subconcious decision to avoid animating humans and stick to objects and motion graphics. But now after looking at the future prospects, it seems like character animation is a very beneficial skill to have so here it is.....Character Animation - Round 2.

Artists Statement

I am a self-taught CG animator constantly seeking new challenges to tackle, new practices to master and new images to create. My favourite phrase is B.B.T.O.S. This phrase means Bring Back The Old School and this is a theme that I try to implement into my creations. There is no future without a past and this also applies to design and animation.

Everything nowadays is trying to be futuristic or modern and for most to achieve this they abandon the designs and thoughts created by the past and endeavour on a creative process to create something very different. I do not think this approach is wrong but I believe that the illusion that the result was purely a result of the creative journey is a lie. In everything modern or futuristic there is a glimpse of the past and I believe that we should make these glimpses windows, and one day we can make them half the creation without denial of the origin.
