Sometimes those little animations are just so weird, but kinda like, well, I really don't know with this one. It's just so weird...….

It's a dogs life

Yet another fantastic video by Steve Cutts. Very thought provoking.

In The Fall

A pretty deep and meaningful short animation by Steve Cutts.

Not-so-bad- Wolf cartoon

And, as I get close to completing the 25 Quick Cartoon Characters book, I have this interpretation of the guide on pages 28 and 29 - the Not-so-bad Wolf. Only two more guides to go before I complete the book.

This Little Piggy

This little piggy had ice cream! This Little Piggy created in Affinity Designer, more or less following the guide in 25 Quick Cartoon Characters.

This Little Piggy
English nursery rhyme

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried "wee wee wee" all the way home.

Design based upon an interlaced Celtic Knot

This design based on an interlaced celtic knot was created in Affinity Designer using the custom rotation feature as described in the Affinity Designer - Rotation Point Worked Example.

Modest Tiger cartoon recreated in Affinity Designer

Recreated from the guide on page 24 and 25 of 25 Quick Cartoon Characters, Modest Tiger cartoon has been a fantastic opportunity to try out the layers feature in the program. Mixing vector layers with  pixel layers allows for a multitude of drawing and painting methods to be used.


The Tyger
by William Blake

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
