Hugh

I've been getting back into animation lately (in the sense of personal projects) and so I decided to do a little something with a character that I developed awhile back [but never got past concept designs]. I wanted to break back into 2D animation, so I came up with a simple idea that would just revolve around the one character.

It was just ment to be a fun little animation exercise, really, to get me back into the swing of things, which I found to be successful in doing so. The character Hugh was the central character to a serial concept that I had developed awhile back [and am still sitting on, till I can figure out the best approach that I should take with it - either develop it as a 2D animation or as a 3D animation]. I've been reading a book by Joe Murray (creator of such successful cartoons as Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo) entitled Creating Animated Cartoons with Character, which has been a really interesting and insightful read which is giving me great ideas/direction for future and current projects that I work on so as to be able to take things to a new level and get my content out there. Anyway, we'll see what happens. It all takes time, and effort.
