Nostalgia

After doing some rough ideas for layouts for my short, and then cooking a large pot of spagetti sauce with home made meatballs i started listening to spyro music. :p and then the nostalgia set in. Dreamweaver was always my favorite area, more specifically lofty castle. So I decided to do some fan art.

Busy busy

I have been a bit busy latley, last weekend at the GAIF seeing the wonderful Grace Roche( aka Moonyice) do a character design class. This past weekend I wen't home to get my moms camera to take to PAX and get a hair cut. I ended up taking my 13 year old autistic brother to another autistic boys birthday party(since my mother wasn't feeling well and I though he might have fun) Well all he did was run up and down stairs and I had to make sure he didn't run out the back door so I had to follow him >.>;.
On the plus side I heard back from Tania Opland just now about the song I wanted to use for my short and she gave me the ok. So I am about to start doing some action analysis via youtube and send the song to a friend with a metronome so I can have the bpm.....I can't find mine for some reason....

cough hack cough

Been a tiring week,  Did not get a huge amount done due to illness, but I did get this pern piece completed.  Happy with it other than the rocks.  Below that are some little griffin designs I did the week before.  As for my short I am now done the music breakdown for my scenes, I need to research/analyse dance moves now.  Unfortunatly I can't really finish/ continue with my musical timing without my metronome....something I didn't think I would need so it's back with my mom.  I will probably start my animatic somewhat soon though anyways.  And I have more designs I am working on.

more from me.


Alrighty Have not gotten a huge amount done lately, I started a Photoshop painting with a dragon and part way through he week I realized I really hated everything but the colour design. I have done a ton of small sketches at work that will slowly find their way here via illustrations.
As for my short, I am on to the tedious and slow task of breaking down my music. What beat each scene will start on, then the much slower, what beat each action will fall on. I plan on starting my dance research next week while I slowly move through breaking down the music. Once that is done(will probably be a bit) Then I can start thumb nailing my storyboards, then create an animatic timed out to the sound/ find sound effects. Slow go but soon enough I will be at the animating portion. :)
Above are my turnaround for the forest spirit I did last week,  sandcat character, dragon and a page of little griffins from my random doodling.
