FX Animation - Fire

I recently took another really cool class on animating fire by Michel Gagne at taughtbyapro.com and thought I'd share the results. I think my favorite part of this lesson was the undercurrent texture that is animated faster than the looping flame - it really adds some appeal in my opinion.

Character Design Exercise

Recently, I've been taking a couple of online courses at taughtbyapro.com - the latest being a Character Design course taught by Tom Bancroft. Here's a nifty little character design exercise I'm pretty happy with - the assignment being "5 designs for a generic 12 year old boy." I call him Willy!
