Aha! I figured it out. Piece o' cake. lol I think it turned out very well. Concepts are changing. Ideas are stirring. lol

Munch in his purple-plaid glory!

I've been fooling around for a while now trying to figure out an efficient way to do this effect. I'm sure many of you have watched the show Chowder and noticed how the pattern of their clothes is stationary while the characters do their thing? I can't figure out how to do it.

I mean I know to use a mask. And when I do on stage it shows the outline of the object masked and I can see the pattern behind, but when I play it the pattern shows through the center of the character, like I want it, but then I no longer have my outlines. ?:/

Anyone have ideas?

I wonder if Garfield liked chocolate? lol

Anyways, I have been thinking about using a technique used on Chower instead of patterns and shading. I think it could give the whole animation a cool visual style. :D I'm trying to figure out how to do it. lol

I've been foolin around with different concepts for Munch's best friend. I decided on this one. The contrasting size of the characters is good. Colors are still up in the air. Pretty much everything is at the moment. lol

I call him Calvin, Cal for short?

I fooled around with the colors of Munchies, I tried to choose two dullish/darkish colors. Purple, being my favorite color, came to mind as did green with the couch. It kind of gives it a grungy look. Eh, its a WIP. lol

Yeah, I guess it does have the whole Garfield feel to him. Im sure the concept will morph and mold as I work with his character design and as I think about his personality more. lol

@ Lundsfryd:

Well, I didn't think about the blue chair. I used to watch Garfield a ton when I was younger, so I don't really remember much other that than he is lazy and likes to eat lazangna. :D

Wow man. I think your choice of colors are superb in a lot of what I've seen. And I think the fire-breathing anteater guy is adorable. I wonder if a hug is worth third degree burns? lol

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the whole flash world as well as the wonderful world of art. I thought I would showcase some of my pieces, get some critique, become a better artist, wash, rinse, repeat. lol

This is a concept design of a character I am designing for a series I am thinking about starting. His name is Munchies. ;)
