Hello from Tucson

[Radomir111]

Hi, my name is Jacquelline Kimminau...most people just call me Jacquie. I'm currently going to school for Digital Animation, but I'm also studying traditional animation in my program.

I do a lot of fantasy work, most of which take place in my original universe of Splithia. If I'm not doing that, I'm doing realism, such as still life, figure drawing, and animals or I will do fanart of my favorite video games.

Currently, I work at Wal-mart in the Customer Service department, but I do a little work on the side for friends and family...designing logos and stuff. I have two animated cartoons in the works as well as a children's book (but that one is on the back burner for now).

I was happy to find this site and see that it was active. I'm always looking for tutorials and references since I'm relatively new to animation. My favorite movies by Don Bluth are "The Secret of NIMH", "All Dogs Go to Heaven", and "Rockadoodle".

Hi Jacquie!

If you've got animated cartoons in your future you've definitely come to the right place. Everyone has their share of Aha moments when they settle in here. For me that's a daily event.

One of my favorite tutorials from Don:
Animation Tip: Volume and Shapes (http://www.donbluthanimation.com/tips.php?c=2&t=106)

Welcome to the forum!

Hi, Jaquie! I'm Seth, err, Seth-2 as I'm referred to around here. :) Like yourself, my fiancée and I also work on stories set in our own universe, and on the side, we even occasionally will draw some of our favorite video game or cartoon characters too. It's very cool to meet artists with similar drawing habits, huh? :D

Anyway, welcome to the forum! Glad to have you here.
