C13: DAY OF THE DEAD

Trying my damndest to turn things around. 2011, you will NOT have me without a fight!



First & foremost -- getting work on Skullgirls done!
Second, a schedule set for 2012, starting in NYC and finishing... well, in NYCC next Fall. The Demon Mages turned ten this year, but who would really know? Jeezus.
Third, clearing my desk of all the over over OVER OVER due work I still have for the remainder of this month & December. Merry Christmas?
Fourth, enjoying my work with National Write A Novel Month, in putting together a readable work. DM's? Yes.
Fifth, MORE MUSIC!

The end is here!

A21: DESTROY THE SWORD CORE

More Gradius! My frothing demand for a next-gen or retro Gradius VI cannot be sated.

About 50 frames of animation. Very happy with the juicy bits like the mini-explosions, the electricity -- always felt confident at animating electric arcs -- and the fade-in-fade-out debris. In hindsight, I could have spruced it up with a more interesting background, but the focus was getting the frames and timing together.
