Website update and news

I just updated my website and now its down. You see I have an old email that is just full of junk as well as all the emails I get to my gmail account. One of those is my web hoster. So I assume they were sending me messages about paying my yearly bill, but I never read them since I only use my gmail account now. They called me up today to remind me. The point of all this is: My website is updated, but its down, and I'm in the process of paying for another year of service.

In other news I've been inspired to create something new. I was combing through my old files looking for something and I found a animated storyboard I did for a script I wrote.

I was also working on the character model of ADM (the guy with the newspaper) recently. I reworked his face so he resembles Vincent Price. I tried to give him hair too but it always came out looking weird. I need to dig out the old script and start figuring out what I need to model. So far (from my memory) there are three characters, maybe five sets, and one vehicle/character that I may or may not include since it only lasts one second. The story follows the original Tell-Tale Heart pretty closely with a few deviations. I picture a victorian/steampunk/german expressionism world (the usual) with robots. Horse drawn carriages that are cars with horses coming out of them, meals of electricity, and photos of a robot in their version of WWII.

Also, if someone ever asks me, "what is your favorite thing that you have created, art-wise" I would have to say this. I don't know why, but its my favorite. Its so dumb.

New Stuff

A little Silent Hill 3 fan art. I wanted to draw some really gorey art, so Double Head came to mind. This is pretty much why Silent Hill is so popular. You turn a corner and BAM there is a weird looking creature in your flash light beam.


I'm not sure why but I wanted to model and rig Heather from Total Drama Island (and I guess Total Drama Action as well, minus the hair). I found her turn around on totaldramaisland.blogspot.com which is a really great blog made by its creators. I'm not much of a modeler so I chose Heather because she has the least amount of weird geometry on her body. Just look at her hair, it's a brick! My ultimate plan is to texture her in toon shader and then animate a few of the interview scenes from the show. Could be fun.

On the job front I'm still looking. Everyone says I'm bound to get one eventually. My Dad just wants me to get a job, any job, at this point. I'm okay with that because I can always look for career jobs at night after work. I found a photo editing job and a stock associate job that might turn into something I hope.
