I am working on Edgar Allen Poe's A Tell-Tale Heart.
Here is an example of Ed's head.
I still need to fix it up a little.

Does anyone know of a free place to post pictures that allow direct downloading?

hey mel, awesome creature!
Ian, groovy robot dudes! That's a good idea with the animation; I might give it a try. (I didn't know you can import and then animate PSD's w/ fireworks!)
larry, sweet Poe thing! the forehead is kinda... boxed? well not smoothly animated, like previous frames are leaking into present frames... well you're going to fix it up a bit, it might just be my computer... but it's cool!
I'm going to finish a picture of one of my best friends tonight. it won't make any sense to you guys (most likely, it's a bit inside joke,) but I might post it anyways.

The_e-Tahn,
I didn't understand when you were saying it's "not smoothly animated". I opened it on a slower computer and I saw what you were talking about. That's pretty weird how the keyframes mesh together. Thank you for pointing that out.
Yes, I have reshaped the hairline several times.(it still doesn't look good, oh well, back to the drawing board. Now that you said that, it hurts me to look at it. LOL) I also need to reshape his moustache on several of the keyframes around various phonemes. I need to work on the outer hair a little.
My deadline for the cartoon is 04/01/03. So I still have time.
hey, no prob, glad I could make you aware of it (I had a whole buncha stuff running on my comp at the same time and... I still do, but I've got tons of RAM. I need to optimize. ) anyways, it looks a LOT smoother than it did before, except now there's a bit of that "meshyness" around the nose. it's not bad; it's quite small, although it still is there. I'm sure the flash file (looks like flash to me!) is probably a lot smoother than this; swf's tend to be that way, because they're the original vectors... although I still don't know why it's doing that... good luck with it, though!
pixely stuff.. continued.
I decided on what kind of game i'm going to do, and threw out the robot as a character (too tall, wont be decent looking smaller).
it'll be a lunar lander type game, but with enemies etc, and an astronaut instead of a lunar thing.
anyway. sketches of the guy (I swear, the simplicity and undeveloped look of the character is so it'll translate to pixels easier.. yeah..)
sketch:
outlined pixels:
pixels no outlines :
they look pretty good bacon man, i think the style works a lot better when translated to vector/cleaned up though, and it shouldnt be too difficult to do so with flash or illustrator.
