New FX Job

Hey Everyone, I know I havent posted in a while the last week and a half has been pretty full on. I have been doing a lot of overtime at work in QA getting age of conan ready for the free to play patch :).

Also I recently applied for and got a position as a Junior Fx artist for Funcom games studio :)
This is such an amazing opportunity and I cant even begin to say how excited I am about it. The more I've gotten into fx the more im loving it. It lets me animate and bring particles to life however in a more technical fashion.

I start in another week and I cant wait

A week to Recharge :)

Just thought I'd do an update to let everyone know that I haven't died or anything :P.I'm just taking a week to relax a bit and get some reading in on all the books I have bought. I am really digging the drawn to life series :)

walking into the night!

So I spent a few hrs this evenning working on a walk. Im still no where near happy with it. The wrist and a bunch of other things arent moving naturally its been a good training exercise but to get a truely good walk im thinking of starting again and keeping my rotations cleaner because I've made a bit of a mess using different rotation types



Busy Week :(

Unfortunately havent been able to post much this week :(.
done over 25 hrs overtime at work this week so havent had a lot of spare time unfortunately. However I still have managed to get a fair bit of study done. I've continued listening to the animation podcast while at work when I get the chance and am really enjoying that It's amazing what little bits of information you can pick up with all those interviews from the great animation pioneers.

I've also been reading through animators survival kit, working on my walk a little and thinking a lot about what to animate for this months 11 second club.
The clip this month is aweosme however with 2 characters reckon its gunna be really challenging. I will have to start thumbnailing it over the next week and hopefully start with blocking it next wekeend. I dont know how terrible its going to turn out but either way its a learning excercise.
