The Monkey Project

The Monkey Project
  Animation and Printmaking  
Concept
The Monkey Project was a first try at flash animation, your following a knackered monkey as he powers the brain of a student in a classroom, it all goes wrong when the monkey falls asleep.
I never got a chance to finish this, but i thought i would show something from it. Although i have it made into an animation already, it all got a little buggy, so it works but not fluidly. Here's a few stills from the project. 
Concept Art and Intricate Woodblocks for the stages
Rough Monkey faces
Animation
A quick look at some of the animation. 
Screen Shots 
The Brain, monkey on his platform pulling levers
The Brain pattern is actually an Etching Aquatint Sugar lift, to give that juicy look to the background
The little red heart is the door from the brain to the heart

...also monkey scratching his gluts 
Looking out the eyes of the student. The projectors, left and right of the monkey are recording the info the student see's, they act as his memory.
The classroom.
Character licks his lips at the sight of a delicious goat on the screen, the attention to detail!
