Daniel-san's got nothin' on DakotaKid

Hey faithful viewers! I have not forgotten you all and come today bearing gifts! Gifts of some more NEW character gestures of some Ninja action poses. After a month away from animating on "The Quest", I decided I needed to strengthen some of the poses and add some more action to the Ninja scene. These are the start of those changes! So for now...enjoy!



More drawings and animation to come in the next weeks!

Until laterz!

WICKED!!! — A Side Note

I've been waiting a LONG time to get to see this musical...and now it's gonna happen. I'm heading out to NYC to visit some friends and we have tickets for this hit show! I'd thought about sketching out the two main characters for some time and thought this would be a good opportunity to do just that! So here it is...

Until laterz!

New Year....new changes!!

2007 has flown by and now the first day is almost gone too. I'm not one for New Year resolutions, but more for just continuing with what needs to be done. I've slacked off this last month and I'm now ready to kick this animated short into high gear. I have a TALENTED composer working on the music for my short and I've been blown away by the little bit I've heard. He's an up and coming musician and I'm really excited to see him jumping into this new challenge. Plus, it's going to make my short all the better. Keep watching for further updates on this next great short coming outta DakotaKid Animation Studio.

Until laterz!
