Hello Sun

It's the first day in April we've seen the sun all day long, and I got minor sunburn. I hate being English and pale sometimes.

Final character designs for my Mischievous Fox character.

My soul to take

I still can't believe it's the first week of April. Final Major Project has taken my soul and my last few months of art school.

Some more character designs for my Fox character leading up to my animation.

Don't freak out.

Working on my Final Major Project is severely stressing me out. Tutors keep making me change my idea so I only have 3 days to complete the equivalent of 2ish months worth of work.


Character designs for my male character.

I think I'm becoming nocturnal

Don't become an animator. It's seriously bad for your health. Since I've started working flat out to meet my FMP deadline, I now look like someone has punched my eyes repeatedly. Seriously not nice. That and my day starts at 11am and ends sometime around 5am.

Though I'm not a fan of The Vampire Diaries (though I'm sure that'll change once summer comes) I liked this scene in episode 19 where Elena and Damon dance.

Because you saved my life once

Oh dear. It's been a while since I updated. I really don't want to get into that bad habit already.

Currently working on my 2nd Year Animation FMP about a woman running to the top of a building to save a man from jumping. Hopefully it'll look ok, as I'm rotoscoping for the first time. Seems ok so far. It's taken me a couple of days to get the first few shots out, but I should get faster now.

Thank you baby brother :)

Though I'm currently being distracted by Wakey!Wakey!'s 'Light outside' video, so that may also slow me down. Thanks a lot Maggie Stiefvater!

Perfect sting relief

Crit went well I think. Teachers liked the textures and said my animation had improved, but the story made no sense, which I completely agree with. So that's another thing I need to redo over Easter. As if the pile wasn't already a mountain.

Burnt two of my fingers on a frying pan this evening. Not a great start to the holidays, but Paul Mercurio flashing his moves in Strictly Ballroom took some of the sting away.

Just a bit of fanart - Richard and Kahlan from 'Legend of the Seeker' in biro

Slightly worried

I'm wondering how badly this crit is going to go on Wednesday, since I've finished a whole two days before the deadline. Which is a first.

Here is some of the art for my Lip Sync animation. Plotwise, my character has no head, and he goes into a shop to try some on.
