Blob Monster – Icon

Screenhog — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:59:26 +0000

Creating the animation for yesterday’s blog post took up a significant amount of my free time, so I’m gonna have to be a little lazy about today’s blog post. I know that quite a few of the people visiting my site also visit other forums, so I created these:

They are 100×100 pixel icons, and if you want to use them for any reason, be my guest.

In other news, if you’re one of the people coming to my site looking for new word puzzles, I highly recommend ClockWords. It’s a very simple concept for a word game that relies on your speed and word creativity to beat, and the music is wonderful too.

Blob Monster – Animated

After drawing the blob monster last week, I decided that I really did want to animate it, so this week, I did. I started with one of the sketches from last week’s drawings, and worked from there to create a general goopy monster animation.

I’d forgotten how even the smallest animations take quite awhile, though… I’m probably going to have a much smaller post tomorrow to fulfill my two-post-a-week promise.

A few months ago, I said to myself that I should design a blob monster of some kind. Blob monsters always looked kinda fun to animate, so today, I finally got around to designing one. The first few drawing attempts (top row) were pretty dismal, but I eventually found a design I liked.

He’s a little rough around the edges, but I like how he could go from being “totally disgusting” to “happy and only partially disgusting”. I hope I remember to animate him someday.
