Working on a freelance job, which means I get to work on something other than Wannabe Pirates. :-) Storyboards and character design have been approved by the client, so I'm working on the modeling. Close to finishing his head:

I felt inspired yesterday to create a piece of 3D fan art for another webcomic called NPC. This is one of the comics I read on an RSS feed for another forum I visit. The comic is about a female gamer and features her two blue cats, Chloe and Bink. I'm not a cat person, but I get a kick out of them. Anyway, I was looking at one of her comics and felt compelled to see if I could recreate Bink & Chloe in 3D. Warning for the saccharin-intolerant, they are very cute characters. Although, in truth, their looks are deceiving. :-) I also created an anaglyph version: The creator of the strip seemed to really like the images and posted them on he…

Hey, just a head's up that I'm going to be posting a series of stories on The Wannabe Pirates blog about how I create the webcomic. The first one went up today and just answers the question "What 3D software do you use?" The answer to which, everybody here already knows. :-) I'm not sure how many posts it will take to cover the process, but I'm going to be putting them up every so often.

Hey all! Doing the Wannabe Pirates webcomic in A:M has meant a *lot* of modeling, but modeling is probably the aspect of using A:M that I enjoy the most, so that kind of works out. I thought it would be fun to do one of the characters out in the open and sort of make a sort-of tutorial as I go along. This character is going to first appear in strip #72, which will be online on the 10th of February, but I'll actually work on the strip the Friday before, which is the 5th. So it'll have to be finished complete 9 days from now. (I won't actually spend that many days working on it. In fact, I'm hoping to only spend *one* day working on it.) Here's the rough…

Well, it may be a decision I eventually regret, but I put in my two weeks notice at work today! In the worst recession in a couple of decades, with a super-huge unemployment rate, I'm walking away from my job. And I *think* I'm still sane. :-) Money can't buy happiness and I'm ready for a change. Luckily, being single, I don't have anybody but me to put through the lean times. Going to work on getting freelance jobs to get me by so that I can put The Wannabe Pirates as my main focus. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Mark asked me if I was interested in rigging his characters faces. Of course I said yes and we worked out a little deal. It gave me a reason to complete the face rig for the 2008 rig I was working on. I'm actually having fun installing the rig. So far it has been pretty easy to install. On these characters I've only had to translate and scale 1 bone to position the rig. I'm working on my third character with 2 more to go. I'll post some animation tests using the modified A:M Track action file I used in the 2008 rig thread.

I had to give this one a lot of thought, but I've decided to work on a second project while still working on "Stalled Trek." I realize that this will put some more stall into Stalled Trek, but I think it's the right thing to do. The reality is that Stalled Trek is pretty ambitious and I want to get it right. As such, it's going to be a long time before I can finish it. Also, I'd like to have some more experience with the other aspects of the process (namely animating) so that my skills will (hopefully) match my ambition. I'd rather not have to go back and reanimate everything, like I'm having to go back and re-model the characters right now. So, while I con…

My first time around with Animation: Master in 2004, I had wanted to do an animated version of a Star Trek parody I'd done as a comic. I only got as far as creating one model and it looked pretty terrible. :-) I eventually reached a point of frustration and abandoned it. This year, I decided to give A:M another go and this time, I've been making a real effort to learn it. So, I'm giving my Stalled Trek (now the name's even more appropriate!) another go. Here's the scary head I made of the captain back in 2004: It's even scarier than I remembered it being! :-) Here's where I'm at with the new version: It's like night and day! I'm n…
