Peter, thanks for watching. I've been sidetracked (pleasantly) from the "Return of Grog" project by my work on finishing FOREST STORY - which I'm still fiddleing with. I'll be getting back to the new HD project this year though.

@Madkre8tor Thank you Mark. I'm enjoying your short animations!.

oh, wow! those armatures!

[johndods]

@cartoonmarc Yes, the armatures seen in the video are by Jeff Taylor - a talented

machinist. Other armatures in the new Grog film are lower tech, although I find that a carefully made wire armature can be first rate.

@johndods Hows Bob the Nightbeast and the Deadly Spawn creatures doing?

[johndods]

@DirectorACL Bob the Nightbeast and the Deadly Spawn Mama creature moved to New York City years ago where they now share an apartment in Greenwich Village. Due to the poor economy, neither of them can find steady work. Bob was recently spotted jogging in Central Park. Both of them kill tourists on weekends.

@axis3d Thanks Kevin. Some of my animation will be on Youtube later this year.

Your demo reel is terrific and I also enjoyed your polished "Primordial Soup" a lot. Thanks for checking in!
