Miltonius Rough Animation

So I decided to start a practice I heard about online about focusing. With all the distractions available to us it's not as easy as you think. But this exercise has you take 1 hour to focus on something you want to do. But during that 1 hour you put away ALL your distractions: this means no phone, no social media, no internet but even no music. They caught me on that one. I always listen to music! But I put it all away. After that hour of focus is finished, you get to reward yourself, take a break, do what ever else you want to do. Rinse and repeat... The results have been amazing!

Normally my mind is a cluster of things I want to do and I make a mad dash to do ALL of it. I end up making myself exhausted and stressed. In trying to do all of it, I actually get very little done. The thing is, switching tasks after you've gained momentum on one subject, disrupts your flow. It's like stopping a train going 100mph instantly and trying to go in a different direction all of a sudden. Not good for the contents of the train.

Anyway, the run cycle below and this rough of Miltonius tossing a rock at something are the some of the things I've been able to complete in this 1 hour practice. I'm actually posting this as my one hour of focus. 1 hour of updates and sharing my progress. Oh and I have another animation I did of Akumi I'll share later.

I have a ton of sketches to share but I think what I'll do is share them in a Vlog update. That way it'll be easier to show all of that progress without spamming this page with too many half baked ideas in the form of sketches.
Onwards and Upwards my Friends!
