The ladies didn't move, but today I arranged a contract to produce animation for cell phones, so I decided to animate one of them and try to make a character out of her. So I created a MoHo model out of her, and made some tests. It's coming out fine, I even created a trick to blink her eyes and change her mouth position, so I can make her talk! :D

There's a short (380k) video at my website:

It's Quicktime 6 MPEG4... ;)

By the way, that's not a leopard, it's an "onça"... it's a brazilian version of a leopard, it's a tad smaller. We did it for the local zoo, they want some new t-shirts to impress the tourists and the kids!

Kickass designs Dan:)

Congrats on the cell phone job. I always love to hear people getting gigs in the biz no matter who they are. Those ladies are definitely a stand out in the bunch:)

Thanks a lot!

I must add that the girl's drawing was heavilly influenced by an artist called Shag, who happens to be the cover designer to one of my favorite music labels, Del-Fi. He has a beautiful website here:

Everything I know I learned from him. Bow to the master... o//
