Mug Hug

For a while I was on this kick of sticking arms and legs on mundane objects and having them brood about their purpose in life. This cartoon sort of came out of that. Comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Awesome. It was great to see that level of animation in a flash cartoon. A lot of times you'll see cut out animation on top of one stationary face, but your characters actually changed gesture and position during the conversations. Very well done.

Just wondering, did you draw directly in flash or did you scan in your artwork. Thanks.

Most of the animation was made in Toon Boom Studio using a drawing tablet.

What size of tablet do you use? I'm debating getting a larger tablet for use in toon boom, but I don't know if it is really worth it or not.

I use a 4'' x 5'' tablet. I've never used a larger one so I don't know how they compare.

Fantastic story, and nice work. Where did you get the background music. I know that music from somewhere...maybe a 1930s or 1940s piece. Let us know please about the music.

The music comes from Puccini's Madama Butterfly.

No one has ever made me feel pathos for a coffee mug until you.
I'm concerned of the rivalry that faces mug and the doggy dish.

Seriously, great stuff.

That was so touching XD... I kind of related to that because I tend to get fairly attached to my coffee mugs. Hell even coffee in general, I even brought my own coffee maker to my school when I was doing my demo reel so that I would have a constant supply of coffee.

Anyway I liked the style, the mug reminded me of Don Hertzfeldt. Very well done.
