So I thought I had better make a post about his since it's relevant... and really exciting!! :D
Last week I graduated from Freelance Animation School and got my third year Diploma in Digital Media.
I also won a prize for consistent work throughout the year which came with a really cool book :)
And a huge congrats to all my classmates!!!
I can't believe it's really all over, it was an amazing three years and one of the best things I ever did, and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity :)
New Layout! I finally have a layout for this blog that I quite like, so I'll keep it like this for a while I think.
Also I've just moved house, and hopefully soon will have a new job! Very exciting.
I've been sketching a lot more since I moved, today I felt like drawing flamingos :)
It's been a long time since I last drew any animals and I really enjoy it, maybe a trip to the zoo soon :D
I finally got the time to give this little guy the attention he deserves and put him into a model sheet...
While sitting in class one sunny day and wishing I was out on some quiet coast with a rod and a thermos fishing I came up with this dude, and he's been pretty useful so far :)
I've animated him busting some moves, and of course casting his line. Might put those up at some point.
Time for a new post?
Yeah I thought so too...
So unfortunately I can't post anything to do with what I'm working on at the moment as I've signed a confidentiality agreement... But I'm very excited about it and hopefully I will be allowed to show you the finished product when it is all done.
In the mean time I thought I better put something up.
This is a character I designed while I was at school. I used him for a dialogue scene but didn't really get to know him very well so I thought I'd re-visit him today and see how I felt. He does need a bit of work but I like him, and love the moustache :) Might see him again in the future.
So this is my first go at digital painting. I used Gimp and I'm not sure how long it took, but I did it over a few days.
Just a note, I didn't paint the actual sign itself, I just painted this picture of it XD
Next up, portrait! Once I decide who...
Yes, I'm aware I'm a few days late....
But better late than never :) And anyway... Christmas these days lasts from about November till the New Year.. or whenever you can be bothered taking your tree down.. so maybe March?? XD
Anywho... My Xmas day consisted of staying on a farm with family, waking up late to a beautiful breakfast.. relaxing... eating a beautiful lunch... napping.. then gorging myself on yet more food.. and prezzies!!! So all in all a successful day.
My Grandma made me this gorgeous bag using cut offs from quilting projects. I absolutely love it! It's such a personal and unique gift.
Then after all the family kerfuffle died down, we (my cousin and I) proceeded to teach my Aunty the art of the jagerbomb... I think she liked it... couldn't really tell :)
I had a Merry Christmas... How about you????
Safe holidays everyone :D
p.s. I am working on some digital art which will be up soon...
