Updately

I made this little dude about three weeks back, and posted it up on the Autumn Society website. Check the site out, many awesome artists.

I've got a bunch of work to upload, my only problem is I need to find a decent sized scanner that actually scans correctly. Otherwise, I'm thinking of starting to work digitally for the remainder of the summer, so that I will actually have something to show you folks at home.

About the above image-- I used about 12 textures in compinations. I'm actually fairly happy with the end result of the earth itself-- some texture manip, and then matte paints over it, and some regular painting ontop (in photoshop).

Anywho...

-- edit--
Just tacking on that the image is a tribute to the Cartoon Network show Adventure Time by Pendleton Ward.

weeeeert

Oh, how I pine for a scanner. Er... a better scanner. Or..a hooked up scanner.. since.. I have .. a scanner here... but.. I'm being lazy.

BUT ITS SO TINY. DONT JUDGE ME WITH YOUR JUDGING FACE.

Updates coming soon. I've been working on several things, including setting up a webcomic site, so things have gotten all jumbled. It takes a while. Since I had to install, uninstall, then reinstall it on a different site, so I'm redoing everything.

I'll post up more magic when it gets there, dang it!

My friend Gina taught me how to knit yesterday... AND IT WAS AWESOME. Darn it all if I wasn't so confused for the first half hour though. She may have had to explain things a ridiculous amount of times. BUT MY FIRST CREATION WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS. No holes. Take that, girl side.

Just an update on the happenings and magic.

As of right now, I'm continuing to finish up my film "Silica" which is slotted at roughly 3 minutes even. The film will probably get slightly longer, with better credits and a few tweaks to timing between shots, to give some breathing room.

I'm ready to wash my hands of it and move on, but I will stick with it, and the film is scheduled to be finished in its entirety come December 2010.

That being said, I've placed it that far back because I am starting pre-production on my next film, my thesis film, already. This is an idea I've been keen about doing for years, and is my first film that I've not just "thought up on the spot". Therefore, I want to devote as much time as possible to this baby, but I know I've got commitments to finish "Silica" first.

She's got about 16 shots left to color, and two shots to tweak for better timing. That's a little less than half the film to color. Eek.

She'll get done. For now, hang in there with this very tiny, insignificant teaser scene.

Ehhhhh

So. I could update with some stuff from my film.
BUT INSTEAD I AM GOING TO DENY YOU THAT.
Because I'm more interested in this chap here.

Say hello to Grant, the heroin-addict drug-overdose ghost who towers over Logan at 6 foot 5 inches. He's got a penchant for schemes involving anything with hamsters and has a bit of a paranoid side.
He's very touchy-feely. Logan does not approve.

great friends

Slowly. But surely. I am conquering understanding Maya.

I've still only got down animating in the program, but I'm finding it easier to do things I want to do, and navigate to certain aspects in order to fix the hooza-whatsits with the thing-a-ma-bobs.
