Some old FLCL sketch action

I think all these sketches are from early 2000-something, right after the fandubs started floating around Hotwire. This was the series that made me feel like animation might actually be worthwhile again, afterall. Not that it actually had any effect on my animation plans (or rather, total lack thereof) personally, but still. What a fantastic series.

It's the moment when Ninamori sticks her finger through the glasses that will always stand out as one of my top animated moments, ever.  

Kenshins New and Old!

Somewhere in college I read (well ok skimmed) the gigantic Kenshin epic, and of course found him to be SO adorable. How can you not? He's so tiny and polite and could seriously murder you and everyone you know if the need arose.

I remember doodling this in my comic class sketchbook in 04, I think. He's right, I never got the hang of comics as a medium for conveying anything other than dick jokes. Look, I enjoy a good dutch angle as much as the next person, but I think they cap out at about 30 degrees. '04. Kenshin, succumbing to the final stages of girl-hair. I must have had one of those terrible cream colored sketchbooks at some point. '04. And finally, some new sketches I did while watching clips on youtube this evening. He's still so damn cute.
