First Post Of The Year

Resolution. Stay positive even when negative.

Updating

The originals were so horrible just I had to update them before I boot 2010 to the wind. They're still bad, just not as bad as before. One thing I learnt this year painting faces is that people seem to love boring featureless faces a lot. I'll have to remember that when doing commercial work.
:)

The one above is actually the original but I was just messing about with the lighting so much it ended up looking creepy instead of the eerie I was looking for.

Emotions Run High

And now my adorable wireless mouse is broken! Wow lol. I'm not even upset about it, to be honest I wasn't even that bothered when my TV blew. As long as I got music to listen to and a pen to draw with I'm not gonna let myself get down. Besides, the Wacom I have has been yearning to be customized for navigation.


This one's a few months old. I felt this way earlier this year. Life can gut punch you sometimes.


On a brighter note....look, a girlie!

Lunch time!

Some lunchtime doodles!




My TV/Monitor just broke so forgive my more than sporadic nature. I'm gonna try fixing it myself. *opens toolbox* Wish me luck.

A bit Tangled

I was really down when I heard Glen Keane wasn't directing this movie any more but I glad he's at least animation supervisor. You can really see his 2D flair for character design and animation in there. What's interesting also is that the film's secondary characters have a that classic Milt Kahl look too. There's so much going for this film visually, I just hope the story is just as good.

Zombine

Two hours into working on this I started to get weirded out on how…you know, weird it looked. I realised after I did a quick paint over that I’m just not used to seeing people or women in this case without eyelashes, pupils and hair. I realised also that rendering realistic people is still an infinitely boring choir. I’m keen to start on some stylised and Toon stuff soon, some stuff that would look cool as vinyl figures and the sort. Gosh, the possibilities. If only I had more hours in my day.

Speaking of hours of the day, I’ve been spending lunchtimes reading The Walking Dead. Wow, I love it!

Flank Junk

Some play arounds with Flank, a character from a comic book sample I did a while back *cringes*. I wanted to do a mock video game version of him a while back too but never got around to it.
