Making proper puppets in Flash

Hello. It's been a while again, I know.
I have been trying out the bone tool in Flash CS4, as in theory, this should make my life a lot easier. It also means I will probably be making this all in Flash. So if you are a good flash coder, you can expect some cries for help from me.

Here is a little nosey at the basic male puppet. I will probably animate this and rescale it for different characters(if I have any) and for children. Then I will add different items of clothing to each of the movieclips. e.g. a hat on the head.










I'm still have a few problems with this puppet, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it and get some help from the lovely online community (who also seem to be having problems with skeletons).

Hopefully will post a walk cycle or something else in a few days.

Cheers :D

Park Scene

Hello again at last.
I've been pretty busy the last few months, and was starting to feel quite bad for not doing anything creative.
So, This is just one image for you I'm affraid. I got the idea for a kind of woodland/wooded area when I watched Sleepy Hollow a little while back. There is a scene where a figure holding a little lamp, glides through a foggy orchard, which looked pretty spooky. So I got to work on some trees and lighting, and I eventually put in a fence and a gate, to suggest it is still set within the city limits.












Hope you like it :)
