A little furious with Myself

OK... so here's the situation. I am WAY stressed out right now. And I took on the 11 seconds with less than 2 weeks to take it more or less from design to "finished." I had to miss a very important meeting today to try and fix some of the plethora of problems with it in the hopes of submitting it. I'm sitting here, it's 9:51 leaving me with a couple hours to get this posted without worry.

Or so I thought until I realized that the midnight submission time is Midnight *EASTERN* time.

So I am posting this god damn animation here. I am not happy with it but this is my way of throwing it violently against the digital wall and going "THERE."

draw draw draw...

Some doodles while I'm procrastinating from finishing the 11 second challenge. I have to try and git'er done in 2 weeks since I had a bumpy start to September. I'm happy with it so far though so I might take some extra time come October to polish it off.

BTW the Blogfolio has been updated with my new work. I can't put the demo reel online because of copyright reasons unfortunately =PPP

Back on track

Well folks, old contract almost done, onto new things. Hopefully my blogfolio will get updated in the next few weeks and a new demo reel will be up and functioning! Very exciting! In other news... I'm not quite done with summer. I need at least one more good weekend of beaching... but ... sniff sniff... is that the alluring scent of fall in the air? I can break out the sweatervest and tweed soon...!

Oh and here's some pics from Fright Fest. We don't have a pic of the jail set with all the cool masonry jar candles alight (An idea I ripped off from the Pumpkinrot blog, go check him out!) but we do have some good pics from the Mansion set which we recycled from last year's CityTV set that we built. The guy peering through the door is my buddy Ben and I'm the guy eating the rat (hard to see in the pic but I'm ripping its latex intestines out because that's how I roll) Also a huge thanks to Deadspider for going around and taking photographs pro-style with your pro-style tripod!

About Freaking Time!

Didn't I say I was going to try and post weekly? I did say that didn't I? Well I'm a damn, dirty liar I suppose. So... poof! Here's some new drawings. Also does it still count as a speed painting if you retroactively go in and take 2 hours trying to make the colour look blockier?

Quickie!

Heading out to the beach because it's ri-stupid-dicu-hot out here! More Fans! MORE ORANGE CREAMSCICLES! Diet be damned!

Incidentally the chubby guy was based off a fella I saw when was riding my bike home from the beach on Tuesday. I have no idea how he got a bathing suit that goes that far up a human torso but it looked good on him in a character-y sort of way.

Dungeon MASTAH!

I missed being a Dungeon Master for a group of awesome nerds. So as a reward for being a diligent individual and finishing up the 11 second challenge last month I bought myself the new core rulebooks and set about making up a new campaign for my fellow ultranerds. And my favorite part about Being a game master is that I get LOADS of fodder for illustration. So here's a few recent things. I'm playing around with some speed painting brushes for giggles here too.

Animation! Whee!

Long time no post, eh? Yeah... well I have an excellent excuse! This month I took all my spare time and entered the 11 Second Challenge. So I've been drawing a lot... but sequentially! So technically this counts as a couple hundred drawings.

Here's my entry. Also a drawing I did of the magician character and what might be approaching the final design of the boy which I have been agonizing over for a while now
