sadbot!

well here is sadbot, im sure something will change in ooo about a day. his hands are in a strange pose becasue i am now about to add the skeleton etc. touched it up a little in lovley photoshop.

Storyboards

So little sadbots story need putting down on paper, plus i hit a confusing brick wall in maya, got frustrated and took my revenge on my PC by spending hours using just pencil and paper storyboarding. Here are the first 4 pages, don't want to give anything away about the story just yet. the ending isn't done yet, but that isn't a problem...

back in maya land have resolved my "issue" by deleting the arms and legs and starting again, and decided to stop being lazy and am halfway through giving sadbot knees, elbows and more articulate fingers.

so much to learn, so much to do, a big towering mountain above me, filling my mindscape (well occasional silly ideas tries to divert me but without sucess, later badger later) atleast its keeping me sane.

Finished modeling-ish

finally got round to finishing the model. fine for a stationary model, still got to texture the little dude.

slowed down a little as an idea for a short for him has sprung into my mind, storyboards will be appearing soon!

New adventures into the unknown

so am attempting to build sad lil bot from the previous post in Maya, using it as a way to learn to model, texture, light, rig and animate..so might take some time! but heres what i got done in 5 hours today, with hangover. this i feel will be a frustrating but fruitful project...many angry nights i think.

Indie Pixie

a little breather from learning maya from scratch, used faithful Kuler to get a colour pallet and have played with overlaying some textures....yes i have left her eyes blank. the singer girl its now loosely based on was utterly into her performance..hence blank eyes.

Crystal Castles

Just a quick sketch i did on the train the day after seeing the Crystal Castles in Birmingham. prefered the support acts but the lead singer was a weird dark little pixie girl. Might work on this another time into a finished image...maybe
