WTF THIS WAS IN MY ROOM?!

So I was going to go downstairs to get some milk and something by the door caught my eye. Some tiny movement.

I inspected.

It was a fucking praying matnis! How the hell did that thing get in my room? How long has it been in here? WTF?!!

Took me a good 15 mins of collective bravery to try to catch it. But the thing looked like it knew what I was doing. I saw it anticipating my moves so it could fly around. I didn't even know that dam thing could fly!

After hiding on top of my tall bookshelf for a minute or so (sneaky bastard), I starting shifting some stuff around with a rolled up magazine, and I saw him hiding there. He didn't even budge when I was disturbing stuff that was touching him, or even moving him.

Then eventually I just smashed the bastard under a picture frame it was hiding under. It didn't kill him though, still kind of trying to move. After another light smash (didn't want to smear the thing on my shelf) it calmed down more, and then I scooped it into a jar and tossed it outside still partially alive.

Look at him...sneaky bastard.

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 ...
