Moving blog? Maybe?

It's been a long time since I posted anything, but I'm happy to say I'll be moving back into trying to keep a blog, but sadly it won't be here and instead will be moving to my website, this blog will stay active for a while just in case I go back on my decision to move it but for now the new blog can be found at:

I'll continue to update any changes to this if they occur. 

Pre-production pitch project

For Pre-production I have been putting together a pitch bible for a short story about two terrible thieves who try to break into a museum to steal an artifact. The story is still in development but here are a few pieces of character and concept art.

Eco project complete

The Eco project has now been completed, I've been really busy with it for the past few weeks and I'm now happy to say it is finished. For this project I have been doing multiple roles. Directing, modeling, rigging, animating, lighting and rendering. It has been a lot of hard but I believe it has paid off in the end. The team worked well. A lot of the responses I've been getting is that the Robot has too much movement, therefore if I had more time on this project I would go back and enhance the animation.

Overall I am very happy with this project, I had a great team behind, worked with them was a joy in itself.

Here is the final version and also a showreel of all the work I did for this project.

Life drawing

Here are a few life drawings from the past few weeks, I have been applying the skills I've been taught by Martin Morris and I believe that my life drawing is really improving, I feel that my drawings are coming out with a lot more feeling and expression compared to my drawings from past weeks.

Rigged and ready

For the past week I have been having a go at rigging, it is a very hard process but after some failing I managed to get this rig working for the ECO project, I am happy with what I have learnt and I hope to be able to advance my rigging skills in the future.

I decided to do a little animation test to see how well the rig worked and looked fully rendered, so far it's looking good and I'm glad to say that the group can now move into animation.

Life Drawing with Martin Morris

This week we had Martin Morris for life drawing, he had a great drawing method for getting the best feeling out of your drawings, I am defiantly going to take his advise and try to draw more in this process as I do believe I have got more feeling across in these drawings than I have in an others.

I really enjoyed his lesson and I'm hoping he will come back again in the future.

Eco storyboard

For the Eco project I have been taking the script and turning it into the storyboard, some changes has happened such as the two scenes involving the auto-pilot car and also the 3D-printing, but I believable this stage is over soon and I will be moving onto rigging.
