senior film characters
i'll be focusing on an animation test for my senior film for the rest of the semester! tentative stuff, i like the semi-lineless style but i dunno if i'll have time for it.i think it might be fun to have some of you guys/your characters cameo as background characters, if you want! i won't be getting to the background characters until next school year though, i'll make a more detailed post about it some time before then :]
