The Wilhelm Scream

At work, someone puts on a monthly art challenge. It’s usually a single topic and you get a month to create any form of art based on that topic. I haven’t entered any of them in the past, but Tuesday was a rather unproductive day as the network had some issues. So I took about half an hour at the end of the day and came up with a little animated gif for the topic of the “Wilhelm Scream.” I think I should’ve added an extra pose at the beginning as he’s entering the frame, and straightened out the final pose since it kinda makes him look like he wiggles during the fall.  I was also probably also feeling like the stick figure since the network problems made it retardedly slow to work on my PC.

Wednesday, the network was back up and I was more productive so I was happier. I also got to go snowboarding after work, which was pretty fun. I’d say I’m pretty average at boarding, I can carve alright, don’t fall as often, and if I’m well-rested, don’t require stopping every hundred meters down the hill. The only problem is I weigh very little so I don’t get as fast as most of the people I’ve been with go. But I think playing the catch-up game does help me become more comfortable with going fast and hopefully improves my boarding overall.
