News and stuff


hey guys!

Havn't done an update in a while so thought Id better:)

I know I havent really uploaded much for ages but its because all the stuff i have been working on cant really be shown at the mo. Im doing some more work experience as the concept artist for another small film in Auks.

My main bit of news though is that Im going back to Uni this year. Ive finally realised just how much work is going to be involved to be a concept artist and I feel like I need to take it a bit more seriously. Ive started a sketchbook which I will be uploading to conceptart.org soon. Need to get them critiques a-comin. Im trying to draw everyday, even if its just a doodle as I think that is sooo important.

Anyway back to the study...Im going to do a one year Post-grad doing 3D character design and animation. I want to start understanding my characters in a 3D way, as a form in a space rather than just a flat surface. I also want to explore gesture and expression in my characs more. The course starts in April or May but only 20 people can get in for each course. I have my interview tomorrow so i hope all goes to plan!

I bought some really amazing books yesterday that I just cant put down...bit of a bummer when I have work to do..The Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams (who framed roger rabbit) its amazing. It has all sorts of useful formulars for animating and principals for understanding how to create your own interesting movement and expression.:D


Onward to much hard work....:D

Wow, really cool art you got here! :D Must look at every single piece in detail! *gets out magnifying glass*

By the way, is your webcam a picture of Johnny Depp with one of his children? That's beautiful! ^_^ I'm not a huge fan of Johnny (though I do think he's a talented actor), but seeing him in that shot just shows him in a very...unique light, I guess. It took me a second to realize it was him. Till then, he was just an ordinary person with a child; an ordinary father. And that's really what he is, y'know?

Sorry, I'm rambling. ^^; I also love your avatar. :D I gravitate towards that style of drawing like a magnet. XP

hey, thankyou very much:)

yes thats johnny but no thats not his kid (I wouldnt put a pic of his child up on the net)...its his niece. Its quite an old photoshoot. I like your description about how you just thought it was an ordinary guy with his daughter...he'd like that I think! :)

Ahh, I see. I wondered why he looked younger. ^^; He looks like he did when he played Roux in Chocolat. :P Aww, his neice is lucky to have such a nice uncle. ^_^ And cousins teehee. Hmm. It's funny. I know actors have fans and everything, but really, it's JUST A JOB. They're doing it to make money, because they have talent and wish to entertain. Well, I wish they all acted for that reason. O_o But they're just people. :) I totally found that when I met Crispin Glover back in Jan 2008. Totally normal guy, if not eccentric. *giggle*

actually its been taken much earlier than that...about '93/'94. but yeah it is just a job but i think its because they inspire people that they have all those fans, its just like any other art form. johnny has created some amazing characters. :)
