i like the zeppelin thing, but it might be nice to pull out so we can see the whole ship, though i guess you're trying to convey it's size. what's with the red blood splotches though? not sure i understood.
in any case - very nice work lt jim as usual.

The dog walk is okay, although when he sits needs a little work.
I love the Dancing Mechanical Man! The look and feel of that piece is excellent!
Fighter Plane of Tomorrow
- eh. Not very exciting. I do like the look of your "period" pieces though. The lighting and shadowing looks like the old Buck Rogers movies from the 1950's.
Russian Pre-Dreadnaught
- Nice model but the water and smoke effects don't look great. Smoke is coming out to fast.
L'Bonhomme Mecanique Cartoon Walk Cycle
- Hmmm... Looks okay for what it is but there seems to be something missing. I think for the type of steps the robot is taking, there isn't enough secondary movement in the body.
L'Bonhomme Mecanique walk cycle
- A bit choppy at the end of the cycle. Go into the graph editor and move the very last keyframes back one frame. Also try flattening the tangents.
Demo Reel
- Animations are a little stiff. Flatten those tangents!
I Want The Truth!
- LOL! Although the animation is a tad stiff, I love the piece! HA HA! Owww! :attn:
