Alright boys and girls. The projects have been selected and groups have been formed. Completing it will take up most (if not all) of our waking hours this term I suspect. And that's besides the other 2 assignments looming in the horizon. Despite some interest in my proposal, I've decided to put it on hold and join another group. This means I won't be uploading my original concept here since I just might want to reserve that project for later. Sorry peeps! I will post the character design I did for my friend though. He did some amendments to it afterwards anyway so it should be pretty safe. In case you're wondering, I didn't have any profound reasons for 'abandoning' my proposal, other than the fact that the story idea and possible look of the other project appealed to me even more. It's basically a short little 3D animation about a playful cat. I'm hoping to do some decent animation in it - apart from conceptualizing, modelling, etc. I've actually set up a production log where I'll upload bits and pieces of the project in an attempt to trace the entire development process. You can find it here. It's a bit plain and rough around the edges but at least it's a start. Of course, that most likely means I won't be hanging around this page much since I'll be devoting whatever is left of my free time to updating the other one. Regardless, I'm definitely stoked about the whole thing at the moment. We'll see how I feel about it come early March (when it's due) eh?
I hope you check it out! And give feedback, OK? See ya laters!
How can I resist submitting an entry? Coincidentally, my animation coursemate asked me to do a character design of a warrior king yesterday (I'm kinda proud of my pencil sketch so I'll upload it soon after a bit of tweaking). It's for an upcoming group project proposal presentation. I've done another character for my own proposal which I'll also be uploading here afterwards as well. Stay tuned! In the meanwhile, enjoy this completely digital sketch:
We treated ourselves to a decent dinner with friends at a nearby Middle Eastern restaurant earlier today. Bedouin restaurant serves Tunisian and Moorish dishes. It was a little smoky (there doesn't seem to be a no-smoking policy there) but otherwise it was a pleasant experience. The food was tasty and not spicy at all. The waitress was very friendly, and the prices wasn't as bad as I thought they would be. Definitely a change from take-away kebabs.
Now, in keeping with the theme, here's today's CGTalk Daily Sketch entry:
PS: Been going down to the lab the past couple of days to get back into the groove before term officially begins on Monday.
I'm trying to get as much out as I can before I run out of time, ideas and motivation...
I don't do countdowns. I don't do new year resolutions. I don't make it a point to celebrate the coming year - call me indifferent. I like the retrospective element of it all though. Where you look back at the highs and lows and (hopefully) learn from mistakes made.
