Character Turnarounds

Well I just got out of my first senior faculty critique. It certainly let me know what is to be expected from future faculty critiques. The three things I need to change are the eye textures, make his hat more square and masculine I suppose, his brows down a little bit, and make her flower stamens thicker. Well back to the grindstane! I am still playing around with the idea of naming her Luna... Do you guy's like Luna or Tasi better? Let me know.

Hey Hey, Its been a long time since I have posted anything here. Well heres a first pass textures of my chars. They are pretty rough still but its a start none the less. Let me know what ya think.

Well here is my violin. It took me longer to model this than the characters. Well now I just need to finish my characters and then the environment. Hopefully only a week left or so on modeling and then....ANIMATION!!!!!!!!!!!

Well its been a crazy couple of weeks. If it wasn't computer problems, roommates problems, or car problems, it was somethin else. But I have managed to get some work done on my thesis. Here is an update on my chars. I am going to start on my props now. I hope to get my modeling done mostly by end of july. ha ha long shot.

Ok I came across this the other day and thought I would post it. It is a new song for the new upcoming disney movie "The princess and the frog" Randy Newman is composing the score for the movie and when I heard this it made me all giddy. I am really exited abou the jazz theme that they are going for. I can't tell you how stoked I am about this movie. The wait is almost Unbearable. I have become such a disney nut this year. Seeing pictures and concept for this movie along with Rapunzel has brought me back to my childhood with the thrill of watching my favorite movie "little mermaid" for the first time. I hope you enjoy.



I also am going to post some on my figure drawings from this last semester. It was really a rewarding class for me to take. I have noticed a great improvement in my drawing. I want to take it again next year and get further study. Hopefully it won't kill me like it did last semester.
