2D Cubey Jump

This is the first 2D piece created using a character and also using the cel sheets. I used the 'cubby' character, consisting of simply a cube for the body, a circle for his head & two very basic arms. This enables me to create emotion using just body language and no facial expressions. The brief outlined that the cubby character should jump across the frame, illustrating anticipation and then the characters reaction to something off of screen.
After the character jumps across the screen, his reaction is to jump up in the air waving his arms before landing, raising his hands to his face and looking at the ground, conveying a sense of shock and fear.
