Update- Block Concept Art
I'm still building up the rest of the characters, but this image popped into my head.

Update- The Button
 | |||
| (Almost) complete Character Turnaround for The Button |
I know the arms seem a bit stiff for the front view, but otherwise I kinda enjoy this style. Square tipped fingers is another new thing for me.
Stay tuned for more!

Grand Opening!
Greetings, chickadees! In this wonderfully wacky world of modern technology, I felt I should try and keep up with everyone else :P So, this shall be my production blog concerning all of my artistic endeavors, predominantly my animated ones :D
I've faced a minor setback with The Drifter due to falling into a common trap of mine that I've only now gotten out of- the problem is I go for something a bit too grandiose to complete within a reasonable amount of time. I'm correcting this mistake with my updated 1 Qtr project, The Button. Simple, elegant, a single shot, one character, not much if any of a background- I have high prospects for this one. I'm also beginning some design work on Block, which I intend to make my thesis, much as I wanted AVI to be it, but I think I'll save that for festivals.
After I peel off Winter's shackles, I'm getting it right this time. I need time for my projects, but I also need time for my writing and art.
I've also found that screenwriting seems to be a strong suit for me as well. I'm almost done writing my first full length feature script, which has got me excited :D. I had been struggling with it for a while due to avoiding Exposition Lane, but at the cost of Chekov's Armory. As for my novel-in-progress, I've come to a minor speed bump, but nothing a good brainstorming session can't fix.
A strange and seemingly unmarketable skill I've uncovered as well is world building. I'm not necessarily talking about video game-esque world building, but serious investment in a fictional world. I've already designed over a dozen maps just concerning one world, from country borders, to populations, to types of government, trade routes, alliances, etc. I go further by introducing politics, the fauna and flora of the planet, even how high some places are from sea level. If I could find a way to make this skill marketable, it could make my life a little easier as I go on my way to opening my animation studio.
So, lotta things prepped, lotta work to do, but ya know what? I'm ready for it ^^ Stay tuned, ladies and jelly spoons!
