Some more Sonic FanArt now, but this one has a purpose other than to fulfil my obsessive need to draw the blue blur…
This was made as a banner for the sonicstadium.org
They go by the name: Team Tits.
This was initially a quick doodle that turned into quite a successful drawing of my closest friends and me at Uni, so I decided to colour it
A Legend of Zelda - Project
A friend of mine has given me some work to do on his Zelda fan film.
I have been tasked with redesigning Ganondorf.
Some idea sketches Ive been playing around with…
What d’ya think?
TIME BASED NARRATIVE
This is the final film for our Time Based Narrative Project dubbed “Unit 42”
A story about a faulty robot with a bit of an attitude and his unfortunate demise.
During the production of this film me and my group knew we wanted to produce something that had a mixed stylised look to it; something that an audience could watch and see that multiple people had worked on it and brought their own visual style and indeed their own interpretation of the story to the table. We see various different techniques of Animation being utilised here. We have some 3D Maya work, some 2D Traditional Hand Drawn Animation and even some Flash Animation aswell.
The production of this film took months… from the Concept phase to the Editing phase this film was long in the making. But I must confess that during the making of this film I never felt like I was just ‘going through the motions’ or that my efforts would come out fruitless in the end. I am entirely proud and honoured to have worked with such an amazing team of artists and filmmakers that were able to bring an incredible amount of passion and care to this project. There was, however, one problem…
AS YOU MAY TELL BY WATCHING THE FILM THERE IS A ‘MISSING SCENE’ PRESENT … Of course this was not our intention but unfortunately a member of our group let us down and wasn’t able to bring his section into the final film. These things happen when working with groups and to be quite frank our film is better without his interpretation. It is a shame that our film will appear to be incomplete without his scene but it will have to suffice because there is simply no way that we’re going to be able to submit it as a final complete film as he doesn’t have enough time to finish his piece… perhaps I’ll post the completed film later (if he does ever manage to get round to finishing his piece) but I highly doubt it. For another time maybe…
I learnt many things during this project and I am not alone in thinking this as I am sure that my other group members are rejoicing over on their blogs aswell. Perhaps the most important thing I have learnt during the production of this film is that I whole-heartedly enjoy what I do. For example, the process of Hand Drawn Animation can be long and arduous but seeing the final result, stitched together with my fellow peers work to make one unifying piece of art makes all of the troublesome turmoil and frustration I felt during the making of the film seem insignificant in compassion to the feeling of pride and accomplishment I felt when it was finished. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this film and working with such amazing people and I feel that our efforts have paid off handsomely. It is a great shame that we aren’t able to present a final complete film but I’ll hope that that doesn’t detract from the sheer amount of effort and love that went into this film.
HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AND THANK YOU FOR READING!

UNIT42 TEST 15FPS from Matt Kavanagh on Vimeo.
Animation test.
These are the all the frames I drew running at 15fps.
Unfortunately, they aren’t in order but that is due to the fact that I have yet to sequence them into my final film.
I am proud of the movement though. That part where the robot gets hit by the ball is beautiful… you can really see the importance of key framing
