Almost Complete ZEN PANDA from bj crawford on Vimeo.
The very first test I did of the project looked like THIS:
It's come along way since May 2008. I enjoyed combining animation and watercolor but I can't say that I'd do it again. It's very time consuming and only a fraction of the time was devoted to the character animation.
Again, thanks to the inspiring work of Jon J Muth and since this is more or less a holiday post here's the cover art from his lastest book "The Christmas Magic":

Wow, that's really beautiful BJ!!
This looks great,its cool to see the finished result and such a nice render!
thats amazing mate! well done. you animation is flawless, big inspiration
excellent! looks great!
I just finished working with watercolor for the first time. I can't imagine the patience you must have had for this. The animation is brilliant as usual BJ. Very inspiring, thanks for sharing. :)
Beautiful . A very charming piece.
That's amazing that you were able to paint the animation frame-by-frame like that in Photoshop. That must have been very time-consuming.
Not to be too much of a software app "evangelist" (which can be annoying I know ...) , but let me once again recommend that you try my fave animation app TVP Animation. It has some great watercolor brushes and generally speaking I think this kind of hand-painted look is easier to achieve in TVP.
I loved this when you showed it in D4A2 and it's even more beautiful and inspiring in color!
Absolutely beautiful. I really like the addition of the branches, too. The sound really adds to it as well.
Turned out really good, when does the movie come out? ;P
love the whole timing of the piece!!
great stuff.

Love it! a wonderfull work! love the soft movement of the panda in the roof :) like a ballet dancer in the wind! Merry Christmas!

Beautiful animation. The timing is great and the drawings are really sweet. Can I ask what you're using for final clean up? Digicel Flipbook or some other software?
This is v v v v v beautiful.. Congrats, all appreciations.
WOW, beautiful animation. I've been studying animation for 3 months only so it's really inspiring to see real professionals. Thanks for sharing this!
