Three Years in Seven Seconds

Published on February 26, 2026 by oddboxcomicsLeave a comment

This is an experiment I did in Blender Grease Pencil Animation. I could have done this quicker in Photoshop, but the main point of the project was learning. Eventually, I will need to ween myself off of Photoshop if I am to advance my skills in animation. I learned layers, timing, and file conversion. I also learned that I have a lot to learn!

The End of the Rainbow

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! You have seen this before, but I cleaned up the animation a little bit and added jingling coins and fart sounds.

This is the new animated ad for the ScribblePad. I did everything except the exceptional music.

Unphooey on Huion

When my Huion drawing tablet went on the fritz, I was saying, “Phooey on Huion!” I would like to take that back. I got it working again! The resulting Small Consolation that you see above was just me messing around with different line thicknesses and colors. A test, you might say. If you think it is funny… great! It wasn’t meant to be funny, though. It just happened. Art just happens, sometimes. I think it has a certain Anime flavor. Or is it Manga? Is Anime the moving version of Manga? That might be an interesting question. Happy Thanksgiving!

My first animation with sound.

Animate Project

It is a bit of a mess right now, but you can see that I am figuring things out. I didn’t mean for it to move so fast!

Make it stop!

This is my first primitive animation on the program ‘Animate’. That is a weird ball. I learned a lot from this stupid little experiment. I could actually improve on this, but I won’t, because I am working on a specific project and this lesson taught me all I needed to get started, so, I’m getting started!

P.S. The End

The progression of color of the Flint River Collection design.

I made a copy of the b+w version and then painted it with watercolor.
Then, I cleaned it up a bit. Observe the rat’s tail and his tiny little rat-hands.
Finally, after some further Photoshop color manipulation, the finished piece.

P.S……….I have closed my Patreon. I would like to thank everybody for your contributions. You are awesome! Double thanks to my best buddy, Dave Pray!
