Working w/ Flash!

Well i've dropped my pen and paper for a bit and picked up my tablet and stylus instead (I have been drawing on the side). I've been using Corel Painter and Flash. Flash b/c I really want to animate something,  and painter b/c I'm not that big of fan of photoshop painting. I've been meddling around trying to see what a final product might look like.  

don't ask me why, there is no finished product or anything commenced. I needed to fill the space and that was all I could think of. 

I don't think that programs like Flash should be used by themselves. They need the enhancement or accompaniment of another to really make it look convincing. Flash has SO MUCH potential, yet I rarely see it. 

sigh~

There is hope though.

John K. and Nick Cross do excellent flash work. I'm sure there's more out there.

I'm going to try using Flash more often so I get used to it. I made a couple caricatures of the infamous Star Gazer choose my favorite and digitally inked and painted him in.


God, he's old. I've been watching him since I was little, and I'm 20. My mom was watching him as a kid and she's 49! And he's still on PBS reminding us to "keep looking up."

He's a really tricky reference you'd think for being on T.V. since the 70's even if it was only for five minutes there would be better quality pictures of you when you did a google image search. Guess I was wrong.
