Very nice. I like the hottie and the aristocrat. The man with the cane is very classic WB, and therefore super cool. Excellent stuff.

Mel's back! Good to see something new on your blog, man. You know, you could just post one drawing at a time instead of storing them all up and posting them in giant groups. The animation's nice, and I love the rabbit. Great stuff, man.

Sir that rabbit made my day, I don't know why, but I really am enjoying it. I finally forced myself to work with color, haha, sometimes its easier to just stick with the line work and move on, but I did it:) keep up the good work friend

Well it goes without saying that all of the drawings are awesome. But I really liked that rough animation, ecspecially the flying part. Excellent sense of motion and very fluid as well. Great work here Mel!!

Hans said...

Hey Mel,

First, congrats on the Animation Mentor graduation! I haven't been blogging for a looooong time and I can see that I've missed out on a bunch of good stuff. I'm getting ready to go on a little vacation for a few weeks back in Denmark, but am definitely planning on getting back in the blogging game when I return. Well, just wanted to say what's up and hope everything's well up there. Keep up the excellent work! Oh yeah and thanks for the flattering words on your "Mel meets" blog:D

Take care,

Hans

This amount of drawings is simply impressive. All this creativity in massive doses, is admirable. It would be an honor that you could visit a new Web mine. Your opinón is very important, like always "Master".

Wootage! Great start for animating while being sick. The in-betweens for the fellow skipping and the hammer coming down could be tweaked, but overall everything is there and looks well from my an amateur's eye :D

Thanks for sharing~
