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.


Onward to much hard work....
