HÖBO tugs at your heart strings

I finally took some time out to mess around with the HÖBO Rig, I found a few weeks ago. It's an insane amount of fun! (Please note HÖBO was in no way harmed in this bit, he's just that good an actor.)

Krag Running

So, after 4 days I decided my week of mimes wasn't doing what I hoped it would, it did however confirm my suspicion that vidref is a dangerous road for me and I tend to follow it WAY to closely. I might go back to it later, but for now, here's a dinosaur:

Some "Things"

Last semester I needed a break, that break coincided with George Michael's "Careless Whisper" getting stuck in my head for about 2 weeks. So this happened.

This semester we had a lecture on how to breakdown a whip action and were encouraged to try it with a spine. I took it a little too far.

This is what happens when I'm left to my own devices.

Look at me pout

Every time I see this little pout it makes me laugh,

so I put it up on one monitor, opened Maya in the other and just copied the poses onto norman.

Backflip Sketch

Another sketch with the robot legs rig. Straight ahead, done during a break between classes.

Straight ahead sketches

Over the break and the first few days of the semester I got a chance to do some straight ahead animation. Messing around with rigs, and trying different stuff out. I Don't know what to call them besides "Sketches"

A normal walk cycle, just wanted to focus on the legs & timing.

Same poses as the last one, just changed up the timing to have faster passing poses.

Same poses again, but this time fast contact to down poses.

I found this rig and fell in love with it, I'm definitely going to keep working with him, think I'm gonna give him a mouth when I get the chance.
