WIP (work in progress)

Well folks... seems the Ol saying: Time fly's by when your having fun. Is sooo true. I have not been updating this blog as often as I would like. But I have been having fun doing various other things since my last post. Some related to art and animation and some not. The art related stuff is still underway, I will be posting some stuff in the next couple of days. I am going to really work hard to update this blog more often with new stuff. I'm going to keep pressing forward to stay on course.

Cya soon with updates.

Jump Kick

Here is a little something I've been working on recently. Just about finished with this part, I still need to touch up the end of the clip with the smoothing into the final pose, and I am going to have another character receiving the blow from the kick. The beginning pose is the default pose the character is in when you download it, so I thought I'd play off that with the kick and return back to that pose. ( transforms can be zeroed out to get the T pose )

So far its been a nice rig to work with, it feels like the rig was built for action work.
I'll post more when I get some work done on the other character.

Torn Up

Here is the clip I submitted for the 11 Second Club for March.
Its not quite finished, needs a bit more polishing. I'll be working on getting it finished the next couple weeks. Enjoy.

March 11 Second Club

Hello everyone. Here is a posting of the blocking for this months clip. There is more to go on the blocking, I'll be working on it quite a bit over the next few days, and I'll continue to post the progress. Thanks for visiting.

Life Drawing Session

Rejuvenating it is to pick up the pencil and paper and do some life drawing. It 's been a while since I went to a studio and scribbled away. I was great, I'll be going on a regular basis now.
Thanks Sean.

Speed Painting 7

Today I hooked a friend into the world of painting and using a tablet to do so.

(I did this one again, showing how to use the tablet)

The images below are me and Chatree moving forward with our painting sessions again.
I really like this one and had a lot of fun with it...
I can't wait to do more.

I worked on this for another 30 today. (continued to add and refine)
