Shall We Dance?

After drawing and sketching and pencil testing and hurting my hand for what seemed like forever, I finally finished! What did I finish, you ask? Well, watch and see for yourself!

I am very proud of what I did! It's not much, but I'm proud! Animation is one of my favorite hobbies! Basically, I drew all of the animation on paper (so...much...paper ), (keyframes and inbetweens were all drawn by me). Then I scanned in the cels and colored/put it together on Toon Boom Studio.

How did this come about? Well, I'm a big Burns/Smithers shipper. (Or, according to , I'm a Burnsmithers fan! ^_^) And I thought it'd be romantic for them to ballroom dance together (I love ballroom dancing too!) In this animation, I imagined them dancing to either "Let There Be Love" by Nat King Cole or "Strangers in the Night" by Frank Sinatra.

Originally, this was suppose to be much longer and this would have been the final scene. But I was just so excited to finish this scene, I had to show it to you guys! Right now, I don't know if I'll continue. If I do, consider this a preview. If I don't...then enjoy this as the finished project!

Oh! I really hope you guys know that that's a fountain behind them! I tried my best to animate the water and make it look like a fountain. >_<
