Since i saw this thread popping up again I decided to ask Patrick specifically if he'd ever make a short animated Indiana Jones like he did with that girl in the snow that was linked to earlier in this thread. I told him after all this time, it would be awesome to finally see the images in motion and not just having to imagine them that way. This is the reply I got!

Not to commit myself to something I will never finish (so take this with a little "I hope"), but I've been working on a 1 minute piece of Indy animation that I am planning to start working on again very soon. 1 Minute is a lot of work, but I think it's feasible. It might take a long time to do, especially if I have to do it inbetween regular jobs, but it should be manageable. So, let's hope I'll find some time this summer. It would be great if it could be done when the Indy Blu-ray's are released.
So cross your fingers. Maybe we'll get a little professionally animated Indiana Jones clip. That'd be cool.
Just one criticism. I don't like the way he has made Indy look like a scheming nasty with that squinty, shifty look about the eyes. It's like Indy gone bad.

Good idea to contact him, No Ticket. That would be very cool so, yes, fingers crossed.
His style reminds me of the Don Bluth animation for the early '80s "Dragon's Lair" and "Space Ace" arcade games. Am I mistaken or did Patrick Schoenmaker work for Disney at one point?

The only minor quibble I have about his Indy design is the rendering of the boots. Other than that, it's a marvelous interpretation.

Yeah, 'rogue bad' is ok, but not looking like a used car salesman or a politician who've just conned another customer or constituent. Like I've said, it's the only complaint I've got, otherwise it's all good.

Hi guys, for some reason I've been hesitant to post my own artwork on this forum, I don't know, it feels a little strange somehow. But I've noticed that others have been posting it and I really enjoy the reactions I get on them, positive or negative. I've been wanting to do a piece of Indy animation for a looong time, but just never got it of the ground properly until a few moths ago. The storyboard is done and at the moment I am slowly taking every single shot through the production fases. My aim is to animated it 2D, as fully as possible, with digitally painted backgrounds. It's going to take some time for me to properly finish it, but I'll try and post an update here every once in a while, to see how you Indy lovers feel about it.
Here's the layout to a shot that will get a camera pan, hence the strange composition and missing legs.
And here's a background from one of the earlier shots:

Wow, so this whole time EddyW was Patrick Schoenmaker in disguise! Nice to know.
Looks excellent so far and can't wait to see more of your animation. We LOVE what you do!
That would be very cool so, yes, fingers crossed.
