Year of the Rat - FMP

My final major project for my art foundation course at West Kent college, England. (I got a Merit for it! Which means I'm off to Uni in September!)

NOTE: The story of the Chinese Zodiac and how the animals were picked, and why the Cat was excluded has many variations. This is the most famous one. So. No, I did not lift this from Fruits Basket. Just because I chose one that is similar to the story of Fruits Basket, which is also based off of the same story, doesnt mean that I got it off of there.

Took me roughly two weeks of Solid animation work on flash. Its meant to be inky drawn, which is why the lines are so loose. Sorry it runs a little fast @___@

The story of the Year of the Rat!
Going to university next year at Newport University to do animation. /o/

Enjoy~

Ah rat year people, their like milk duds. Sweet on the outside, poison on the inside.

well it looks like the cat might get its wish because of the ophiuchus sign discovered among constelations which was excluded from the signs around 2000 year ago
