Pencil Tests

Since most of the stuff I've been showing is finished or almost finished flash movies, I decided to show some good ol' fashioned pencil tests.

Pencil Test 1

Pencil Test 2

They are kind of poor quality since I shot them with a webcam and they are super-compressed. I tried to clean up the quality a bit, so hopefully you can make out what's going on.

Wonderful Stuff, Nick...
I know it sounds silly, but I actually prefer pencil tests to finished cartoons!
And these are great!
I have posted some of my animated work on my page.
Any tips from you would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey, those are some nice looking pencil tests! I'm awaiting that song-scene.

I never considered using a webcam to do tests... I've been using a scanner!

Thanks everyone!

Kristy got mad at me cuz i didn't post these with the audio. I'm still unsure whether I should or not since the timing in a couple of scenes need to be revised when I inbetween and clean them up.
