i have seen the future, and it is hula

more progress on the hula cycle...still gotta fix the giant hair pop in the beginning, and i want more drag on the hair when it comes back down on the right side. i like how the style of the hula girl evolved as i added details, so now i just need to keep her features consistent throughout the cycle.

una mas hula, por favor



my hula girl was feeling neglected, so i did some more work on her. i'm working on this one in a nearly opposite fashion as i am the Kali piece: that one i am doing most of the elements on separate layers, with lots of planning; this one is more of a straight-ahead free-for-all. it's nice because i can just sit down and animate this one, or, if i'm feeling more ocd, i can work on my other piece. i'm enjoying having several pieces in the works, it keeps me from getting stuck.

bollywood bonanza


here's a couple of great videos that i have watched (over and over and over) to get ideas for the movement of Kali's arms. They were definitely helpful, but at the same time i'm glad i didn't see them before i started the project, otherwise i may have gotten over-ambitious with the dance moves.
