New animation

Not sure how Edgarry this model is but it took me way too long to not post it. I cast thee off my table, animation.

Slapdash update

Well I tried to learn Open Canvas because I was told it was good. It is not. I say this because in the 20 minutes I spent with it I wasn't able to completely master it. I have no patience for learning you, program! So I finished it quickly in photoshop just to get something colourful on bloggy along with the usual assortment of doodles.

Doing the Negligence Raaaaaaaaag!

OK so here's a bunch of stuff. Lite on the drawings since drawing time has been reserved for animation. (Damn you Edgar!) However! I've got some other goodies.

*Pucca reel removed until I figure out whether I'll get myself in trouble for posting it

Here is a quick one-hour animation of a raven. Just for giggles I wanted to see how flash did at shape-tweening my keys. It was... not nearly as loopy as it could have been. Though it needed some help once or twice. Now flash if only you could shape tween a triangle properly I'd be very happy with you.
Also I'm going to throw this up there. This is the missing page from my online portfolio with some stuff from Class of the Titans. I reboarded a large chunk of this episode and I was gratified to see that some of the sequences turned out pretty well. I especially like Atlanta's line when she's talking to Archie. Here's the episode as well.
Wow! Did you read through this long somewhat uninteresting post? You deserve a cookie! Here! Have my first year live action film from college. Making this movie was all sorts of fun. The sound was added by a very tired me all in one live take at 5:30 in the morning the day the assignment was due. Which explains why it's so awesome. Special thanks go to Jesse Walker for letting me drag him across the cold cold ground. Oh also for ramming his face into the turf for the sake of comedy.

More quickies with the promise of more later.

Well I haven't been posting much. Reason is for the last few weeks I've been prepping for Frightfest (a bunch of avid haunters get together to put up an impromptu haunted house out in Langley for a campground)

We had hundreds turn up this year. The line went clear back to the entrance to our area for three solid hours. Good times! Photos of the set we build, some of the costumes and props to follow as they become available. Here's a couple starters and a bunch of little sketches from recent doodlequests.

it's a fun-splosion!

Lots of drawings and projects. Poster for a play a friend is doing, some coffee shop drawings, circus posters and Slughorn. I feel the need to explain the Slughorn thing and the Circus posters. So here we go. Circus posters were an attempt to draw like a person who *can* draw but was never *trained* to draw. Like if you started with the eyes like you used to draw people as a kid. Not sure how successful it was. I like the aging effect though. I'm going to print them out for our featured Circus room at the Hallowe'en in August event at FrightFest this year. Give them a good working over and singe the edges and so on. Slughorn was because I tried him a while back but it morphed into some weirdass non-slughorn character. So much to my amazement when I google images of "slughorn" I find this terrible drawing I did. So I'm doing this slughorn design to try and overwrite my previous terrible drawing of him with something more representative.

Have a good week everybody!

Madly Off in All Directions.

I have about a million things I keep telling myself I'm gonna do and all I'm doing is watching Season 1 of Q.I.

Life Marches on. And The Mist is a great movie.

Got the mist. Watched it. A lot. Cool movie. Very cool. Here's some paintings! One is sort of a drawing jam speedpainting I did trying to capture the look of the hidden city in The Mountains of Madness. The other is an attempt at "Innsmouth folk" but I don't think he looks fishy enough. Still like the painting though even if it missed the mark a little.

Hey everybody! Have a great day!
