This is an old pencil test from an even older studio project... I notice a lot of little mistakes when I watch it, and I'd do a bunch of things differently now (I think those kicks don't sell as well as they could), but I still like it because I think it exemplifies what we want to do: kick-ass action animation of the kind that you just rarely see in the US.

And even though it's an old piece, it often gets a good reaction when we show it to people. The roughs and action here, and espescially that kickin' 720 degrees of rotation, were designed by studio members that predate my inclusion, but I was the one who cleaned this puppy up and made it pretty... sort of my rite of passage here, years ago. Once I finished this (don't ask how long it took), I knew I could handle just about anything.
