House by the Sea- Iron & Wine

Welp, I’ve been working hard on effects for a couple more films (because my own aren’t enough >.<) and also been doing some clean up work. I organized my Layout chart today, fixing all of the thumbnails and descriptions. I must make a note to put all of the layouts into folders…

Anyway! Some more personal work. Cleaning up the fire lady so I can ink her…eventually.

When (again)- An Evening Primrose

I can’t stop listening to this song. It’s Neil Patrick Harris and so bouncy and Sondheim and GUH.

In the meantime, I realized I had overworked myself by lending my effects to GAJILLIONS of films, but it’s just such great practice to work for other people and animate things I’ve never animated before (read: spherical Dogon ceramic jug with water breaking in realtime then super slow-mo) and in different styles (there is a film I’m working on that is styled after Gustav Klimt).

Needless to say I spent the evening away from Monty. YET I AM ALWAYS DRAWING. It’s an addiction. It really is. So I started drawing a Nuckelavee because I’m taking a World Mythology class. Now to actually look at horse and people anatomy and figure out how that mouth actually works…

I’m Here- An Evening Primrose

Well, today SCAD ResLife is hosting the Senior Soiree so hopefully my producer, layout supervisor and I will recruit all the people! In the meantime, I’ve been taking a little break from my own film by working for other people!

Some FX work for Josephine Moss’s senior film:

Working on the nature sprites again. I was inspired by the idea of woodblock printing and stamps, so I was really concerned with line when I started making them. I WILL FINISH THEM!! Good goal. It will undoubtdly get me into clean up mode for my film.

When – An Evening Primrose

Welp, after a year and a half, I finally got a round to putting in the missing animation and recaptured the Tarzan heavy weight test, all pretty with my new webcam setup
