Terrific stuff. I love it when he wipes his mouth after munching the banana. Very Joe Youngish.

Thanks kuhnigget,

He was a lot of fun to animate. When I come up with a suitable story for him I will feature him in a film.

How did you make him? It is amazing! What did you make him for?

[tims44]

Hey chocachoc,

Thanks for the comments. I made him for myself, for a future project. I built him up out of urethane foam, like the stuff cushions are made from. His head, chest, and teeth were sculpted out of clay, I made molds of the sculpts and cast pieces out of latex and applied them to the model. I painted it and applied the fur and there you go.

I checked out you page, very impressive stuff.

Keep up the good work, and thanks for watching,

Tim

That is very well animated. I wish I could even get close to that. Mine are at 25 fps and are not excellent like yours but very standard.

I like the character that you gave Cykong. It suits his appearance. Clever idea with getting the most famous characters in stop motion history and making a mix. Are you planning to do a film with him?

[tims44]

Hey TheCyberController,

Thanks for the kind words. I will use him a film sometime soon.

I have seen your work as well, good stuff. I think I answered a question for you on another site, about casting Dinosaur heads in one piece.

Anyway, thanks again,

Tim

Again, this is just excellent work! I do love your backdrops and settings, reminds me of the golden age of film-making. You make all yourself, or do you buy some of the props?

I really like this. What did you use for paint and hair? Very nice work!

[CJAproductionsINC]

That was really, really, really, REALLY well done. I've been getting into this type of stop motion lately, and seeing this really motivates me. You did really good

Very cool!!!

This is absolutely brilliant! You've vastly improved over time, I can tell after watching your super old ones. I'll be following your work. Keep doing stop motion.
