This doubles as study-time for me. ^^

( Moar unfiltered Japanese class notes for Michelle. )

A map of puget sound in the ferry terminal totally looks like a final fantasy boss. This is where my head is at this weekend. X3

Brb going 2 PAX again :D

Dammit French animation stop being so awesome. :|



:OOO The PRETTY. Esp. the 2nd and 3rd ones. Stuff like this is why there are some things 2D can be that 3D just can't.

The hyperactive dynamic camera movement reminds me a little of The Bitey of Brackenwood films, only a lot more so what with it being done by a large studio and not in Flash.

Hooked up scanner to my old computer and networked. :P

( Marker doodles )

Brb goin 2 LA :D

Way early 4 drawing class. Stuck outside. Cold. :p

"Skullcrusher Mountain" on Rock Band 2? Srsly?! :O

- PHONE STUCK IN CAPS; WILL BE YELLING ALL WEEKEND. ALSO I'M 25. :D

HOTEL ROOM AMPLY STOCKED W/FOOD + BOOZE. ACE + OLIVER = NEW FAVORITES. X3

BRB GOIN 2 PAX :D

Guys, the show is three days long, did you really have to make Felicia Day's hosting of The Guild screening (supposedly with afterward meet-and-greet) overlap Jonathan Coulton's concert?

I mean, really?! DDD:


I'm vehemetly unwilling to miss either event. DDDDDD:


Either way this is gonna be an awesome birthday. XD

With only 6 most likely work-filled days left on my ZBrush3 trial, I will probably be forced to spend the rest of my time with the program figuring out how to export what I've done into Max without it completely imploding. A snag has already been hit upon the discovery that most of Pixologic's official Polypaint tutorials fail to mention that the "disable UVs" button that they tote as being a RAM-saving device actually deletes the UV information from the object.

FAIL.

Scott Spencer's book claims there is a way to reimport the info. We shall see.

Meantime, ( render images! :D )

Naww Bogart. I miss doing art with you in it.

ZBrush3 has been owning my face for the past 3 weeks, so here's a WIP of my current demo project.



:D?

I intend for the final product to be a bit more caricaturized*, but since I'm kind of balls at caricature I figured I better try for accuracy first. And ignore the hair, it'll be 3DS Max Hair by the time I'm done. :D

Also I just realized the goggles are too small. :adds to list of things to fix:


*According to LJ Spellcheck, this is not a word. But by the same system, neither are "LJ" or "Spellcheck". XD

ETA: Higher-res image on dA

Just need to assign subgroups and *shudder* UV maps and then into Zbrush she goes. :D

My boss told me about this last week, his pitch ending in the phrase "It's not hentai, I swear."


Warnings for Epic Violence and Impossibly Tall Buildings:



AWESOME. XD And really well done, for a film that consists of 15 solid minutes of chicks from Final Fantasy (or more accurately, Square-Enix) and Dead or Alive kicking the everloving crap out of each other.


Seriously, watch the whole thing. I've never had so much respect for Rinoa and Kairi. XD

Higher-definition versions can be found here (pt 1) and here (pt 2).

CHEESE AND RICE

WHY DO OTHER MODELING PROGRAMS EXIST?
WHY DOES CLAY EXIST?!


My first game attempt, modeled from a sphere primitive in... more than one hour but less than two. I think? I lost track.

I wonder if it was as good for the program as it was for me. *lights cigarette* XD



Zbrush2? You're dead to me.

Sketchdump: mostly men, animals, or mixtures of the two.
