star wars





Jedi assignment. My orginal idea was pretty straightforward, a cool-looking jedi taking down 2 robots; and I was set to go ahead on my half-ups. But my teacher said he wanted the robots to 'negotiate' with the stairs more. So I started from scratch, changed the jedi design, and made it cartoony.

This is a bit of an homage to Hiroyuki Imaishi. He is an animator, director, storyboard artist, and writer. I love the energy in his works. He was involved in 2 of my favorite anime shows, FLCL and Gurren Lagann. And if anyone out there is a little curious, I would also recommend checking out his film Dead Leaves, RE: Cutie Honey(ep1), Abenobashi(ep3,12), and Panty and Stocking(ep1,6).
