First post.

K, well.... my first post. UMMMMM.

Im Sean Jacobs. My favourite animators are Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away and Howls Moving Castle ( Awesome!) ) and LeSean Thomas ( Boondocks ( http://lesean.deviantart.com/ ) )

The way Miyazaki is able to implement extremely vibrant colours into characters and landscape without 'warping the reality' of the animated world. I am also blown away with the extremely dynamic yet appropriate poses during his animations and artworks. He uses peculiar angles with his animations which only intensifies the scenes he creates. The fact that he is also quite young and yet an experienced animator is also something to aspire to.

Animation has always appealed to me in many ways but I guess the most appealing aspect of animating to me would be being able to show others your ideas and see their reactions to something that came from your thoughts. Its a little difficult to accurately articulate my feelings toward animation.

If anyone is confused just ask me what I meant lol.

I would like to add a piece of artwork to each post to make my blog a bit interesting so here is my Old West Batman. Lines by http://2ngaw.deviantart.com/, colours by me. as far as the background, these clouds are just a trial version. I don't even know if clouds will be in the background when I'm finished but it ... accentuates the depth and the direction of the light quite well. The image can also be seen on my DA here http://babbagum.deviantart.com/art/Old-West-Batman-BG-trial-1-153364118 .
