Night Run

Dearest All,

The weekly topic for Illustration Friday is 'lonely.' I'll admit that I didn't make this little test animation with that word in mind, but, running across an endless desert during an endless night strikes me as a lonely task. It hardly matters how long or fast one might run- the distance seems too great, the terrain too hostile. (But that kind of thinking is awfully heavy.) 

At least this poor lonely birdguy is pretty fit from running all the time.

As mentioned earlier, this is a test piece: I've been learning a bit of Adobe Aftereffects, and misusing it to make things like the above animation. My first test piece was quite ugly (think: exposed intestines), and it didn't loop very well. But, even the best cat food isn't very good if you aren't a cat. By the way, you may recognize this character from a much earlier post.

With Warmest Regards,
Eric
