BAF IDENT 2013 with the incredible JOANNA QUINN

YAY!!!!!!!A few months back I was extremely lucky to work on this Ident with the incredible Joanna Quinn again. This time was extra special as it was working on Jo's personal character "Beryl" (not Charmin bears ;D) and working from her amazing rough artwork....swoon.
It was both wonderful and very scary animating and in-betweening again....especially as Jo's work is so very beautiful and ridiculously three dimensional. When Jo handed me THE HAND scene to rough animate...I felt the blood drain from my face, I started to sweat, then came the shaking profusely and tears that I cried silently inside...the dog animation thankfully was far more straight forward. My mantra for the entire time was "don't balls this up, don't balls this up, whatever you do don't balls this up". I feel very privileged and proud to have been a part of this and had a fab time working for Jo back at the studio.

With yet another birthday cake to make, I decided that it would make thing even more special if I were to design original characters for the decoration. This one was particularly fun....dinosaurs having a party. 

The image below was part of a gift to mum from my sister and I, to be exact a "morning of coffee, cake and birthday celebrations with her splendid daughters". I had so much fun drawing the cakes.........it was almost as good as eating them!
