hippo on a bike

I was thrilled to see this week's IF topic. I've been drawing bikes for months now, and I've started a project Animals on Bikes. Bikes are So cool, and I couldn't just post any old illustration, I wanted to go a tiny baby step further :D

It all stared with my good old sketchbook, as always:













Then, I played with Photoshop:

















And THEN, I went a bit crazy!


It's 4 o'clock in the morning, and I know I could go on tweaking it for the next 3 days or more, but being my first animation ever, I think it turned out pretty well :)

This was FUN! I think I'm hooked!

    This is very cool! So cute, and I love the detail you put into how he moves. Very jiggly, like a hippo should be!
