"HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE!"


Here's the latest stack of drawings! "The Princess Bride" is quite possibly the perfect movie. I would have also loved to have animated the line that came next: "You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic land mass."

"thhhhink!" *spit spit*

That's the the best part! haha

Fantastic! Kind of reminds me of EarthWorm Jim's mouth in the posters for the game... I forget who did the posters, but they're great.

Great sync! Most I've seen so far were just some front-on lips with no teeth! Ya need teeth! Awesome! =)

Sorry for two comments...

But I just watched it again hitting the pause and play button to slow it down some... You have some HILARIOUS mouths in there! Awesome work! =D

Mitch you're so right about it looking like Earthworm Jim! I can see the poster now, with the tagline "Eat DIRT!" Its probbaly one of my all time favorite games. Did you ever play the Sega CD Special Edition? It was fantastic. It was one of the first time I remember genuinely laughing at a game not because of a funny line of dialogue but because of the drawings and how the character looked, moved and was controlled was actually FUNNY. Its a pretty rare feat in video games, even today.

EWJ kinda blew the top off of gaming at the time... after that, a bunch of studios tried to do funny cartoony games (Boogerman... yipe!). I don't think any others really made it anywhere...

EWJ had EVERYTHING! It's actually the thing that made me realize what I wanted to do with my life. I have the Window's 95 Special Edition (HERE, actually!), so I'm guessing it's the same as the Sega CD special edition. Better music and colours, and funny cheat codes that give Jim afros and junk... two extra levels... I LOVE EarthWorm Jim.

excellent work there Brock, thats seriously the only lip sinc i can watch more then once without being bored out of my mind. very nice treatment of the lip movement, almost reminds me of Cats dont dance, when the butler max says, goooooo and his lips ripple across, while his teeth dont move. good stuff.
