Face modeling walk through

I am remodeling my stuff according to this.

Finally the geometry is good for animation, but it doesn't look like Jeremy in my mind, just look like some generic character still having proportion problems....lol I will continue to model this next week, need to UV this fast to make it for my deadline.

That's the fastest head I ever done!! lol~~
The artist's method is so efficient. XD

Doing this to relax a bit... i think i am ready to work on my thesis.

this weekend

I sucked. :(

i didn't finish all that i had in mind, i just couldn't. Tireness built from previous weeks and Wednesday messing up my eating was a big mess up. It extended all the way to Sunday, i felt like i was getting sick but i wasn't. *beeeep*


The only good news this weekend is not related to my thesis at all. Recruiting for new voice actors is going well for Edepth Angel's ova project. But that comes AFTER the thesis.... we lack 4 deliveries from voice actors to get everything in...
I hope everything gets delivered by Jan. And all my big sequence finished.

ARGH, how am i going to live through tomorrow??? T_T

*beeep* i probably should have just rested a whole day but i couldn't bring myself to do it, either. darn darn darn.


Got stuck on the fighting scene's last sequence, but finally solved it after watching UP, however, ran out of steam to tween it and clean it completely. -_-bbb


Orz I fail this weekend. Totally.

Illustration study

Squeezed in that little bit of time on the train to do this. XD

I think i am stacking up my portfolio nicely so far.

Working with different styles

And I love it. :D

Part of my pitchbook, I took this directly from my little cousin's life. ha ha

Well, the sister really is an addition.

this weekend

Finished compositing this sequence..... and that's all i managed to do on the weekend unfortunately. :( Because of alot of sensitive timing issue this took a lot longer than normal sequence.

What just gives a blow to my moral is that my mom said the animation is not detailed enough right after I finished it. When I already tried my best effort that i currently can do.... this whole sequence has 250 drawings just for the walk, wait... maybe it's not my best yet, if i want to i can tween more. Argh...! Whatever! The hell with it. I am pretty happy with the outcome except one little thing in the end which i will fix later.

Too late now, i am not adding anything.
I will just admit I am not the best tweener.

Ka-peesh, this is done, damn it.

I have to get better than this.
