bring out the violins!!!

I reckoned what with doing the last walk cycle, and run cycles - that id probably quite like to get all the cycles out the way...i can do the emotions and poses stuff later!

So, heres the sad walk cycle when Mook realises his flower isnt going to grow....

I was thinking (just to crack in a cliché joke), i will add rain to this little bit until he sees the flower has grown, and obvs some sad music. I really wanted to draw out this walking, he's feeling sorry for himself...so i dragged his feet as much as i could, and did the walk on 20's. Im still to do something with his arms - he's not arm paralysed!!!

This is only the short, to show the cycle, not the scene bear in mind :).

There is a lot of stuff needs adding to, and playing with (like the arms in this for example), this is something i must make a note of and cant be forgotten in the final stages!!!

To change list - 

• Arms on sad walk
• Add shock between credit dance and persp run
• couple of tweens or maybe a hold on leg kick on credit dance
• more to come...

his name is 'chuck'

Joes asked me to play around with some more concept stuff for him to model. Iv been drawing around, and this is one i quite like the style of. Not sure if its really modellable?, but he told me to do it in any style, and to have a human character with a pet.

Procrastinating!

Don't pretend it doesnt happen to you!!! I miss drawing, properly drawing! So recently i have been attending life drawing - just to get me out of the studio a little more if anything!

Here is a sketch i have developed from my life drawing stuff, its fairly rough, but id like to build up more artwork for my portfolio!

Its the first time i've ever really used Photoshop for sketching like this, it obviously has a certain computer drawn feel to it, but thats what people want these days right?

Missed me?

Baaaaack! Its that time again! Your (should be weekly, but is...) monthly dose of Mookage!

Iv been busting my nuts over this walk cycle mullarky, its a little bit harder than i remember, much harder than i found the run cycle and perspective stuff bizzarely! But thanks to a bit of richard williams advice & a 3rd attempt i managed to get it right.

After all that waffle this will probably seem quite meek - it is only 3 seconds...and quite uneventful

I like it though, i wanted him to walk like snoopy does...

so i looked at this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKxXAwBRuVo

and worked away! Its exactly as i wanted it to be, this is for the first scene - i will him walking on the spot and the background moving as of this point, he will pass his lover girl (also on the background). Lovely stuff. :)

More soon.

Also....if anyone wants to buy me Adobe Flash, id be very grateful - animating in photoshop is becoming tiresome O_O
