Wow, I haven't posted anything here in ages!

Here's something new, it's only a fanart, but I've been enjoying the latest chapters so far. It's weird, I haven't been in a naruto craze for a while, even though I still follow the series, I don't draw as much of it as I used to before... :S Maybe it's just cause I'm not too inspired at the moment... Meh.

Anyway, news, I've been slacking with the blog because I have been working on commissions lately, and I kind of juggle most of them so I can get them done in stages for the client.

Apart from that, I have also been working in a museum, doing a talk for the manga exhibition, and I've been teaching kids how to draw. Pretty exciting, and it's a good experience. The first time I did it, it was like pitching my film all over again. But it all went smooth after the first time.

I really need to get working on the new film I'm working on for next year, haven't really done anything for that... Though, it is the summer term and I kind of want to relax and make it stress free. Going to Japan this September, so that will be exciting! But yeah, that's all for now, I will try and keep this blog running soon, got some stuff I could post from last term's assessments. Peace!

Sketch Sixty III

Long anticipated set 3.

Yeah been working on commissions again. Need to save up for Japan.

Sorry for the lack of update, I just don't know what to put up, I think I'll add my rough animations I did for the grad film some time.

Animation Test

Haha, I was going through my folders today, found this really old clip I did with a friend. So gash, but it was just for fun. :P

Quill

This was the stuff I've done for my pitch. Not enough went in to it because of the time I had left to develop the idea... But it was a good experience pitching to a big audience. So that was mainly my aim. It's a shame it didn't go through, but hey, that's how it works.

Maybe this could be done in my own time, but the effort it takes to make it look really good could be time-consuming. Dudok De Wits does it by himself, so it is a possibility haha. But to be honest, I don't really want to make it :P.

Blah, nuff said. Here's some material.

Original Storyboard:

Initial Character designs:

Water Colour Concepts:

Digital Concepts:

Working Animatic:

Lightning

Just forgot how to paint after not being able to do any since I was away in China land... Really need to get back in to it this summer!

This is a character from FF13, been playing that game none-stop, and it has consumed me... Really not fun gil-grinding. But eh... It was a good game after all. Really want to play FF13: Versus, by the looks of things, it seems like it'll have a better story and game play.

For news, well, my pitch didn't get through. But I'm not that bothered about it. I already signed up on a film I really want to work on :D Going to be another year of learning for me. And this time, it's MAYA! Woop! One of my most hated softwares! But I'm sure once it's done, then it should be a breeze.

This means I could also post up my work for the pitch. I'll do that in another entry.

Guess this is it James, your year of learning has come to an end with me. Saved your sorry ass plenty of times. Let's see what you've attained out of it. I'll be around but not for long. So think about what your doing this year.
