Upcoming Works/Ideas

Welp, Block is still in the shop getting polished up, but in the meantime I have a few new things on the burner- namely a recent obsession I got into. Steam Powered Giraffe, a fantastic group I was introduced to a few months back. With listening to their "Honeybee" song, cogs in my head started turning, and so far, I've compiled this puppet head-

I'm going to go back and blend the mouth lines so they're not solid black, but I'm pretty happy seeing how the copper rust turned out :D I'll be uploading an animatic of my head hopefully within the month, while polishing up my animation skills, building a reel, etc blah blah blah.

Being out of college is an interesting experience, watching the working world within a snow globe and wondering when you'll decide to shake things up with your presence.

I've also begun cracking down on Steam & Mist, both in art and story. I'm ironing out the first book and hopefully I'll submit the draft into publishing houses within the year (that is a stretched hope, but hey, dreams can be obtained if you work hard enough). Christmas is a reasonable goal anyways :P I hope to be swamped with animation and art work while editing the writing, but stay tuned for new pieces from the story! (There's a particular title piece in the works that I'm very proud of, though Frederick's expression looks more bored than lost in thought)
