Work gets exciting (not)

So I've hit the point at work where I've pretty much run out of anything meaningful to do, or anything that really involves me being at my computer that long. Basically I have to scan a whole bunch of papers and compile them into digital versions of themselves. It's not oging to be a fun process. At least I have my podcasts and my music to keep me entertained.

Meanwhile, I just planned out a shot on my first X-Sheet (exposure sheet). It's just a scene of a ball bouncing across the screen and off the side of the wall, but hey I'm just gettin started! No idea if I have the timing right of anything but I'll see how it turns out.

Actually I never wrote about it, but last Friday I got the two animation books I ordered from Amazon in the mail. The Animator's Survival Kit and The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation. I"ve only read the Survival Kit so far, well about 1/3 of it. The author is talking about walks and such, but I'm going to stick with my ball before I even touch that stuff. Illusion of Life lookspretty beefy. I think I'm going to end up reading both of these books before I'm even required to read them heh. It's ok, I need to read them again anyways.

Well, off to get some sleep for my week (or few) of scanning. At least I'm taking Friday off to go home. Yay 4 day weeks.

To Add or Not to Add...

Well I couldn't think of a real good topic for a second post quite yet, so this is going to be pretty boring. I know no one has read my blog yet at this point, which is fine considering it's been up for like a day. I haven't really even told anyone about it. Stealthily put the link up on my various profiles. I'm sure someone will stubmble upon it at some point. Anyways, I was pondering whether or not I wanted to add another page. It would be somewhat of a portolio, but not formal or anything. Just some drawings or pictures that I might want to share. But at the same time, I've got my DeviantART page linked over on the side, so having a gallery on here would be kind of redundant. Eh, I might as well anyways. It never hurts to give myself a little more exposure. It's settled then! A new page will be added....at some point. I need to gather a few pictures that I think might be cool to put up here, and find a decent free host to put them up on. I guess for the time ...

Walkcycle

Well before Lost, I completed my 2nd go at a basical walk cycle. It's missing some in-betweens but I just wanted to get those steps down first before I tried anything else. It's in the gallery. But here it is anyways. [caption id="attachment_56" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Walkcycle #2"] [/caption] Based off the guide from the Animator's Survival Kit.
