My first animation in Blender using my (previously only in 2D) cartoon character Bishop Stumbers. For more about him go to my website: http://www.cavanaghart.com/
At first this was going to be a simple "Muppet"–style 3D puppet with a basic open/close mouth movement, but then I got caught up in trying to make the lip movement more accurate, mouth shapes and what not.
After participating in Collab2021 I hope to learn the proper techniques for animation from Wayne Dixon's (@waylow) Rigging, Lip Sync and Animation tutorials; because I know that for the first part Stumbers' lip sync is passable, but when it gets to pronouncing his name, his lips start flapping around like Dumbo's ears. Not to much a few other things that I know are wrong, but decide to let pass so that I could get this posted on Social Media for Easter.
So please enjoy and Happy Easter from Australia.
