I got wraped up with a couple of free lance job so I was not able to pot this right away but here's what I have thus farThis is a hair render test, the first of probably many.
And this little guy is the newest modeling of out Hero mort! currently working on getting Rigged up for animation, hopefully I will have some animation tests done by the end of January

Set Backs, but moving forward

I have good news and bad news, the bad news is the drive I was storeing all my work on went boom, and not just the drive, I believe the mother board went boom to, but heres the good news. I have a new computer and its better than the last one and I have already started work over again. Mort has been re modeled and the witch is coming out better than before, by next week I should have some screen caps of my progress.

On another note The show went up with out a hitch and I want to thank every who attended the opening, the show will be up till the 11th of December so go take a look the witch and mort make a Guest apperence,

2 out of 5

I'm not sure if I will be posting all 5 up on this blog..some suprise might be nice for the Final, but thats kinda a ong way off

hooray for Multi-plane animation!!!

here it is folks the First of thoses dreaded MPS that pop up in my animatic le me know what you think

Yay!! progress update

its ok everybody you don't have to worry anymore this month since a new post with a good update is here:

this is the currently 2-D illustratration I just finished up, this is going to be torn apart and made in to a Multi-plane still (MPS). if you may have noticed there were some blank points in my first comp labeled MPS. This would be the starting point to fill that blank spot, this is the first of 5 that need to get drawn and inked and colored, well Grey scaled , before I can even start making them parts to the finished animation. Anyway keep checking back and there will be more updates to come

And now for a couple of long over due updates

I know every one of you 3"followers" is up set I haven't posted anything in a while, I"m not going to make any excuses, and just say look at whats New!!!








This is the work in Progress known as the "witch" she looks alitle to real as of now and I think I just need to stylize her abit more.











I'm pretty happy with the Progress of the our heroins kitchen, obviously it needs so texture mapping but that will come later.



and the bus... well its a Bus

Sorry For the lack of update but SOMEONE, who "might" be a roomate seemed to enjoy getting a virus on the computer hindering what I though was good progress, soon I hope to put up some finished character models, but that will have to wait till I get this little viral problem fixed up, till then check out my write up in starved magazine at http://www.starvedmagazine.com/currentissue.php

Making things happen Animation!!! storyboard update

every Body! I got some story boards for you, there are a couple missing due to me not scaleing them down yet but let the updateing began!!!

Making things happen Animation!!!

As some of you might know I have undertaken the task of learning how to model in 3d and animate. Though I have not gotten to the animation part of the project I have been knocking out alot of the prep work. I have been cranking out the story boards, building props and more importantly building characters, here I have the current models as they stand, there is still abit to do on them but I thought they were in a state that I could show them, I"ll be posting the story boards once they are finish which should be this week. keep checking back for more!!!
