Illustrated Recipe: How to Make Taiwanese Ba-hoo

quickie GIF animation

Ok so years ago I bought bauhaus Mirage, a very robust animation program for my mac. At one point, after an OS upgrade, it didn't run properly any more. Then the company was bought out and it became TVPaint. So there it sat on my shelf for years and years. I installed Windows 7 on my Mac recently (via bootcamp), and I gave it another shot and BOOM... it works! This is a quick animation I did to try to familiarize myself with the interface.
