Animation Buffet facelift and new rig

Animation Buffet got a little design tweak and I added a new rig called B-boy. The rig was sent to me a long time ago but I lost the email. If you know who made this rig please let me know for credits.

Thanks!

Spring 2010 SOS Workshop #1 is DONE!

Yesterday was a bittersweet last session, ending another SOS workshop. I've known most of the animators in that workshop since the AAU days and now after having graduated they are off, applying for jobs and getting awesome offers. I'm really proud of everybody and wish them nothing but the best!

Thanks for all those Tuesdays filled with laughter!!

I'm putting all the feedback posts up on the Spungella Feedback page, so it's more centralized for the Workshop takers. I will still post notices here, but the full text can be found here.
Of course if you prefer to not have your work online, just let me know beforehand.

Hector: Badge of Carnage Episode 1

There's a great new game out for the iPhone/iPod Touch called Hector: Badge of Carnage. You can hop over to Touch Arcade for a review of the game. I'm a big fan of adventure games in the style of the good old SCUMM games from Lucasarts. The style is more flash animation than pixel art, but it's funny and very entertaining to play. A must have like Beneath a Steel Sky and Monkey Island!

Do you need reference for an awesome drummer?
