Rain, Rain, Go Away...

So I'm not sure who lives here, but by the looks of things, they haven't been around for a while. I started this piece a ways back but finished it up today...courtesy of the 24 hours of non-stop pissing rain that still continues as I write this post.

It was either get creative or another Law & Order marathon...I think I chose wisely. Hope you do too....now where did I park that ark?!!

Raaaaar!!!

So I've finally surpassed my record for lack of posts...I think it was 3 months...this is now almost 4..anyway...
I started my new job in January and have been surprised that all this time has passed and I never seem to do much personal work. Is it life? Lack of time? God forbid admitting that my energy level is going down.

When I took my new job I had almost no 3D software experience. I surprised myself this week when I realized that I'd spent the last two weeks working either in Maya or Zbrush every day to complete my work. Don't get me wrong, I don't know shite when it compares to the experts. And I won't be getting a job animating anytime soon, but it really is kind of cool that I can add it to my work process.
I really love learning new things.

Here's a dinosaur I sculpted....minus the outer spikes.

D-Oh Double Gee!

So I've been really busy with work since starting the new job a few months ago. But I've had some time recently to get back some fun arty things. Maybe even some actual painting!!!

I've been working on some more character designs for this animation seen in previous posts. This is an update to the fat dumpy dog character. I thought it would be cool to kill two birds with one stone as they say and try out this cool Flash tool call the Bones tool. It's a great way in Flash to add real life articulation to objects. I used it on the swingin' tails of Donut the dog!
