So, this is my 100th RECord!  And I wanted it to be special, so I put a lot of work into a BIG animation idea to complete for it…

However, a couple snags in animating and execution = the full animation is taking a lot longer than I thought. Time is always the hottest variable with animating, so no big surprise here, but I do have a couple other items/RECords that I want to upload on hitRECord while I am completing this animation, so, my 100^th RECord is just another sneak peek of my progress so far… “to be continued…”

This sneak peek is low-res, so I am sorry for the grainy quality and the pacing chops here and there, just keep in mind that the full-quality piece is a lot smoother.

The animation idea spiraled-off of Mirtle’s “raindrops” illustration (recently Featured) as well as time I spent diving deeper into Mirtle’s impressive, and completely inspiring, collection of work.

We all adore Mirtle’s Illustrations, which goes without saying, and I think what is so captivating about each illustration is that they are so damn delicate while being executed with such strength (and I hope my animation can echo that.) The pieces have this wondering doodle quality but unlike doodles - that seem almost lost – these illustrations decide to create their own map and their adventures just screamed at me to be animated.

I also have fallen in love with eaneikciv’s “Yes, We're Sinking” audio RECord, and it came to mind as I was swimming through Mirtle’s work. Hence, the concept was born. It just swallowed me up. I had to begin working on it.

Pheew! That was a lot of rambling, but I hope I am making sense.

I hope you enjoy the animation so far. It will continue, and will carry the lil’ raindrop girl through a few more Mirtle-inspired adventures, very soon - Stay tuned!
