Multi-Eyed Mutant Chicken

| Uncle Skuby

So as I had a little time to myself this March, I decided to take one of my drawings and turn it into an animation. But! I took it a step further. Due to my lack of Adobe After Effects on my computer, I tried to use an OLD version of Adobe Flash CS5 to create this animation… God I need a copy of After Effects 😦

I sketched out this guy bored one day on this private beach on Long Island:

Then I digitally painted this on my Wacom Intuos Pro tablet in Autodesk’s SketchBook Express:

Last I created some clouds in Affinity Designer and animated this guy in Adobe Flash, I think I messed up in rendering somewhere – might need to look that up, but it came out okay for my testing:

Insane Illustrations! When I say INSANE! I mean INSANE!!! | by Jason Heuser

| Uncle Skuby

I think i speak for everyone when I say, we all love concept art!  But when you think of concept art, you think of video game characters or fictional movie characters like aliens or monsters.  For Jason Heuser he imagines the Presidents of the United States!  That’s right the Presidents in crazy, insane, ridiculous scenarios!!! Some of these literally had me cracking up and laughing out loud at my desk this morning, especially the Ben Franklin VS. Zeus!!!

  If you’re like me and were spitting up your coffee out of uncontrollable laughter, you can see the rest by clicking the link below:
