Cyclops-Kiwi

I don`t know what`s more disturbing, the picture itself or the story behind it.

Today at school I was animating my character Iwi the kiwi for our short movie and divided the animation layers for a particular scene. Since Iwi is supposed to just twitch with one eye and the corner of his mouth I animated those parts on one layer and drew the rest of his head on a different one ( that`s called "held cel" ). However, that drawing of his head looked so weird since one of his eyes and his beak was missing. *lol* I showed it to and we joked around about him looking like a cyclops-kiwi and Ell was happy because he couldn`t say "Kiwiiiii!!!" anymore ( how, without a beak? ).

Yeah, that`s what animating and loosing your mind leads to.

Photoshop 7.0.

The great concept of deaf and mute cyclops-kiwis without beaks(c)myself.
