Interference

A ninja must move swift as the wind...

A ninja must strike without hesitation...

And without mercy.

But never without cause.

A ninja will seek to destroy Oliver's dissertation, whenever it can.

Ahead of schedule, but always behind :(

SLIMY!!

SCARY!

INTELLIGENT!

SLIMY!


CARING!

SLIMY!

Isn't she gorgeous? 

To do list:

-Teeth need fixing

-PIPES!! Very important (need help for those)

-Photoshoot!

-Compositing (including HDRI/light setup)

-General tweaking (I am NEVER happy.)

But first... A well earned break!

If you can think of anything else, PLEASE let me know.

Constructive criticism is always appreciated :)

My precious...

Oliver loves his shiny tin foil :)

Advice and suggestions please?

I went to see 'How to Train your Dragon ' tonight. I was hoping it would give me some inspiration/motivation, but as usual, it fell flat on it's Dreamworks face and failed, despite being a perfectly enjoyable movie.

I LOVED the main dragon... It's design and animation was totally spot on, and the sceness where it interacted with the main character, Hiccup, were beautiful... Shame that this wasn't capitalised on. Still... It's worth at least 2 Shreks.

I love seeing my babies come to life :D

This needs  a  LOT of work... But I've FINALLY started it, which is something... Plus, I will actually have time to work on it over the next week, after having bitten my nails all week in work experience (which was AMAZING by the way) worrying about it...

More Paintings! I think I'm done now...

More old stuff from school... Where did it all go wrong eh?

Back to CG!

Remember...

When you were a kid...

You used to love those colouring books

Colouring in your favourite characters...

Making sure every colour was EXACTLY right?

(because we all wanted to be famous artists)

Some things never change :)

Untitled. Unfinished

Down the Rabbit Hole...

I'm going to Japan tomorrow!!!! AHHHHHH!!! Excitement just isn't the word :P

Anyway, I'm posting something before I leave! Can't go a week without some horrible self-exhibition >.<

I finished my DIS application... yay!

'Toadstool Havens' - psd, about 2 hours

Someone record Shameless for me, yeah?
Also, make sure you recycle this week! The thought of a 12 hour planes
carbon footprint makes me shudder!

P.S. Why can't I get this song out of my head??!!!!

W.I.P - Office/Drawing Room

So... The story.

A Victorian doctor's office. He is probably far too intelligent for his own good, and spends all hours of the day working here, so naturally there is a lounger, drawing room area etc. I'm imagining some strange props and medical drawings on the walls also.

Obviously, these are totally unfinished. If somebody is reading this (yes, YOU),any constructive comments or observations are greatly appreciated. Concept can be found here:

The pillar on the right might look  little low res... But I'm not lettng it anywhere near the camera so that's O.K!

I'm quite happy with the lighting so far. My concept looks a little brighter, not sure if that's good or bad. My work flow is also a bit off... Usually I believe everything is built, then textured, then lit etc, but I've blocked the scene out and am now working on it all, one bit at a time. Good or bad? Who knows.
I find it helps me give individual objects a higher quality, but I have no idea what it will do to my schedule!

If you've read this far, then I have a favour to ask you.
The Ugandan goverment it trying to push through an 'anti-gay law'. This law would make homosexuality punishable by a prison sentence, and in some cases, death. That's right. Thousands of innocent people could die. Sickening prospect, no?
As well as being in flagrant breach of basic human rights, if this law is pushed through, the country could lose millions in foreign aid. Everyone loses.
Please, sign this petition and condemn the move. Only international pressure will change their mind.
