No. Small group of animators squeezed it in between assignments. Carl - the guy who did the backgrounds- sites next to me and he is just amazing to watch. Not only can he draw, like most of the guys and gals here, but he is fast and easily transitions from one style to the next. Amazing to watch. I've attached a wire from his chair to mine in the hopes that I can absorb some of his power.
I'm pretty much stuck (in a good way) drawing props for an interactive children's toy site that launches in two weeks and we're racing to finish. In fact I'll be working with no days off except Christmas day and New Years day until Jan 4th or so. I did get to work on designs for two games we are pitching to a well known cartoon company that asked us to bid on 20 or so web games and that was a bit of fun.
