WIP1 - AnimClips Challenge #1 - Storyboard

My AnimClips Challenge entry. This is the storyboard.
It was made with ToonBoom Storyboard Pro, new software i thought would be fun to learn.

This storyboard is the absolute epitome of "Rough". But whatever, only i need to be able to read it absolutely clear.

Im not sure if ill continue to use Storyboard Pro, not a huge fan of its drawing tools, it SCREAMS "I want photoshop tools" instead it gives you MS paint tools with an Illustrator twist. The Pen Pressure functionality for WACOM tablets doesn;t even work, but whatever, ill post my review of the software later.

WIP2 - First 3D Voice Synch

Lots of major changes, but lots of little ones still need to be looked at.
Also, ah haha, pretend for a moment, the 'boobs' inquestion are lopsided, i didn;t even ntoice his hands were that off-set at the end until now :)

WIP2 - Take and Run

Not alot done this time around unfortunately, though i tweaked up the back leg people found was odd (i hope that was the fix they were talking about) and i smoothed out a few keys and added the lip synching inbetweens.
I think some of the lip synch inbetweens could stand to be a bit stronger indeed.
