You're Fired!

This was a really cool animation to do! I was shown an awesome character design by 2DBean and thought, that would be really fun to animate! So I got in contact with Mr 2D B and got the go ahead to animate his wicked design.

I've been practising fire recently and wanted to continue this focus for this exercise so I decided to not animate the smoke. I had to simplify the design so I could animate it, which looking back at it now I wish I had kept it as detailed and just worked longer at it!

here is the original design by 2DBean:


and here it is animated:


I also put together a small progression vid of some of the stages, from rough through to comp:

    Awesome man!!! FX animation is fascinating, especially fire. Michel Gagne is the only one I've really ever known of, but Matt Timms is now on my list of favs for FX. Nice work. I love the colors you use and the flow of that fire on his head.
