#f5ing old work

My first “hand drawn” animation... The theme was modern-day fairy tales/nursery rhymes, if I recall.

I’ve been going through the archives of old work I made for B3ta in 2003/2004. A lot of it is crap. Some of it is offensive, either due to me realising I was a twat back then or because of revelations of evil-doing that have surfaced since (R*lf H*rris, J*mmy S*ville) which totally change the tone of the work. And of the stuff that doesn’t fit into either of those categories, most of what’s left is either drawn really small due to format constraints, or is based on memes and in-jokes and references that were dated even then, and now mean close to nothing to anyone not involved with that particular scene at that particular time. So much for my fantasies of buffing & polishing the old turds in the hope of creating content for this page!

However...

There are a couple of useable pictures. Either I really overengineered them after finding a perfect base image, or I kept good enough backups of my work-in-progress that I could pull up an earlier draft and finish it off afresh. The Cowboy Bebop gif of Ed and Ein I used yesterday was one such picture. The Roxbury Guys image I posted a little while ago was another. And this adorable little freak is one that I’m really pleased I can resurrect. There’s another couple that shall be popping up over the next few days, or when the season is right; the rest shall be left to their silicon retirement on my backup drives. Seeing them has inspired me though; there’s some I can rebuild - better, stronger, faster than before... Just need to do some digging for new and better sources! *heads off to the Google Image Search mines*
