Night Shift
Tonight Cheryl and I were talking on Skype. She works the night shift and had to get some zzz's but she wanted to stay on. She finally crashed, so I sketched her sleeping.
Hopefully that doesn't sound creepy.

Schoolism: Assignment #4, The Features
This week's Schoolism lecture was on features. The assignment was to draw a page of hands,eyes,noses,ears. A few realistic and a few cartoony. Here is a page I did of hands. Some of these are okay, most are way off. Hands are always some of the weakest parts of my drawings, and I need all the practice I could get.
Case in point. Here's a sketch I did for the Draw Force blog some of the artists here at work run. Ironically missing any sorts of hands!

AM Newsletter
Here's a little bit of a interview/post-mortem of the making of my Animation Mentor film, Better off Undead! Thanks for showcasing it AM!
I remember trying to get this film done last year, in time for Valentine's Day, and I didn't even come close! So it's cool this was posted now. It's funny to read this interview and scroll back just a few posts in the past and read how frustrated and disheartened I was going through it at first. Melodramatic much? But what's really cool is reading and remembering how many people, both good friends and strangers, offered to help me out. I would get messages from people asking if I needed any modeling, animation, lighting help. That was so awesome and I'm super grateful!
As an aside, a little after I finished Animation Mentor, I posted it on CG Talk, and I was contacted by a talented artist named Jason Walker who said he wanted to do the environments for my short! We went back and forth a little bit but he eventually got too busy with school, and I eventually moved out here. But he did send me these initial lighting tests and I was already blown away!
