Here it is, Halloween Jack! (I made the mistake to first call this one Ziggy Stardust, but it turns out this is The Halloween Jack character)
I rigged the characters with Duik, an awesome donationware plug-in for After Effects.
Thanks again for the awesome class Jake, learned a lot of useful tricks. The shading technique is really cool.

Process The Thin White Duke:

I decided I wanted to animate another Bowie-character, The ice-cold Thin White Duke.
I wanted to make it completely black and white, with inspiration from German expressionism film.
