Description I know what you're thinking: Leo, what cliche, cartoonish, gimmick are you trying to pull now?

Well, ladies and gentlemen of DA, this is actually for my animation class. I need to make an animation, a full, short story, and I decided to have it star Leo Winters. But... this story's going to take place in space, so I have Leo here in a space suit. Yeah yeah, I know, I'm kind of ashamed I'm doing it because it completely breaks continuity. Just take this is as a silly cartoonish one shot or something. Don't worry guys, I won't do something like this again when it's done.

Just thought it'd be a silly thing to post. I have to pass in a character design, so I made this work: Leo Winters, a turnaround, and a walk cycle. This should be enough for the assignment I guess.

...again, sorry folks, I'll end this soon enough.

I am reminded of the animation of Ed, Edd, and Eddy while I look at this.

They call it "squigglevision" in the biz. No joke!

This is amazingly well done!
How did you manage to make him walk on the side?
I only ask because I'd love to see my own character Tommy the MischiefMaker be able to move around like that!
Very impressive work you did here! Keep it up! I'd love to see more of what your animated program can do, only don't be ashamed by it because this is fantastic work!
I'm jealous you got him to move & you got a great imagination!

Oh, I used Flash. Then, when I was finished with the cycle, I exported it as a .gif, and viola!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

naw that is not silly to post, this is fantastic, alot of work went into this guy!

very very cute looking fellow you know...I like the simple but really well fitting design of the suit, it goes nicely with the character...maybe because of that cute waddle?

something that I thought was adorable looking is how his hair is squished against his helmet XD

I also really do like his walk animation and his wiggly full body shot there

Leoshi In reply to jack07 [2010-03-08 01:34:09 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thanks man!

Yeah, the reason why the suit is so simple is because I figure it would be easier to animate that way. Laziness I guess.

Yeah, normally his hair is all poofy, but in this case there's no way it has enough room. I can only wonder how comfy that would be.

jack07 In reply to Leoshi [2010-03-09 03:57:15 +0000 UTC]

well the simplicity is what makes it easier to animate
that is smarts, not laziness

hah, well I love that hair, and it looks wonderful
XD needs a bigger helmet though

Leoshi In reply to jack07 [2010-03-09 04:34:17 +0000 UTC]

Really, an even bigger helmet? Hm, perhaps, if he doesn't already look highly top heavy already.

XD okay maybe a tad silly suggestion...maybe if we got a lightweight one it would work

Excellent reference and I love the little 'wiggle' effect you have going there

That's so funny. A penguin in a space suit? Lovely I want to see this in action now

You will soon enough! It'll take a while, but I'll see to it that it gets done soon. Probably in a couple of months when the due date draws near.

This is very cartoonish, I love it. The animation in this is way too cool. I love the space suit and the bow tie on it. Great design.

Thanks! I may work on it a bit more, I'm not entirely sure for now.

TheCrescentFox [2010-03-07 13:46:39 +0000 UTC]

It is an interesting premise to say the least. Leo could certainly end up in some random situations out there.

The only issue I have is a minor one, and that is the emblem. Just looks like that the "W" is a bit misplaced in that. XD

Leoshi In reply to TheCrescentFox [2010-03-07 18:22:15 +0000 UTC]

You mean the fact that it's so low? Eh, yeah, I noticed that too, but I guess it's alright because it's not too terribly important.

BluebottleFlyer [2010-03-07 10:21:29 +0000 UTC]

There's nothing silly about this at all! It's a great idea to have Leo out of his usual habitat, and you've sure taken this idea and ran with it.
Very in-depth information there, and the spacesuit design is nice and simple. As I already said, the walking animation is spot on, as are his rotating views, and I can't help but laugh at his heroic pose in the middle there.
Excellent job, man.

Haha, thanks! I'm glad it's at least interesting I suppose.
