HOME!

Yup, so I'm officially up in Northern California again. Back under the parent's nest for what is sure to be a very long 18 months at minimum. I'm guessing more like 2 years to be realistic, maybe even more. *Sigh*

But good news, is that I've gotten most of my stuff unpacked. Got a nice workstation going with two monitors. I still had my old 17" laying around, so I said "what the hell", and dualed it up with my 24" widescreen. It's pretty awesome so far I have to say.

*In real blogging time, I actually just re-adjusted the position of my seat/keyboard/moust, and the angle of the larger monitor. The smaller screen felt too far away, like i'd have to turn my head too far to the right, as compared to turning my head to the left of the larger. Now it feels all good.*

I saw someone that had the same 24" I have on sale for $179 on craigslist the other day. I was tempted....would be nice to have two monitors of the same size and make. But nah, I can live with this for now.

So for my coming home present, I'm going to present to you my two most favorited deviations on my DeviantArt profile. Neither of them have anything to do with animation or drawing though.

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.

Drawn to Life

After about half a year or so of wanting to get this book (and the second volume as well) I finally got it ordered through Amazon as a birthday gift (thanks Mom!). Man, I totally should have gotten this book sooner. It is seriously filled with typed gold. Not only was I really engaged by the book, I learned A LOT about drawing, gestures, and how to see than I've learned in.....well just about ever. I mean, I've never had a formal training session other than a few weeks of life drawing so I can't compare it to anything...but the way it's changed my style and how I approach drawing in like 3 days is pretty amazing. (Note: this could also just be because I suck at drawing and I would have known this had I taken a formal class in school =P ) But anyways. I've scanned in a couple pages of PEN sketches that I just did. I've for some reason fallen in love with drawing dresses/cloth at the moment so there's a lot of that going on. Most of the them I'm satisfied ...
