My Dad the Evil Genius

Evil Genius is finished and online! (YouTube+Vimeo) I animated this cartoon in-between various other animation gigs. It's the story of a young boy called David and his Evil Genius Dad (Ed) who's trying to destroy all the humans with his evil robot army. Patrick Ytting did a fantastic job with the 1950's monster b-movie inspired score, it fits into the cartoons style of raw bloody violence, ailurophobic robots, electrofried monkeys, stupified cats and heart felt emotion.

Hope you like it... You can never have too many evil robots!

Short 20 second teaser trailer for my new cartoon "My Dad The Evil Genius".

Zombie Fried Monkey...

This is a render of the EVIL ROBOT 360° from my new cartoon "Evil Genius". Originally the cartoon was going to be 3 mins but extra characters and changes to the story has extended this to 5 mins. I'm finishing the final act but there's still a lot to do with animating a zombie fried monkey, an army of evil robots and some kick ass explosions! 

I'm also gonna re-animate some of the opening sequence and some character shots cause they don't really match up with the later stuff I've done.

Evil Genius Family Portrait

Work on my new cartoon "Evil Genius" continues although I'm still a while from the end. I'm 24 (or 0:00:24:01) seconds into the third act and it has been constant layout and then execution of the animation which is why it was nice to spend an hour drawing this family portrait.
