Another Timely Warning

Save early, and save often.

Thank you for your time. As consolation for any files you may have lost, ever, here is a picture of Debber holding a baby hamster.

Social Networking App Fever

Ever have a random idea pop into your head that won't go away until you've drawn it out? That happens to me more than it probably should. And with that I bring you the gag of the All-Nighter...VilleVille.

Snow...?

So it snowed in Savannah tonight...last night...this morning? The rain from yesterday morning kind of ate the snow up though. It was kind of slushy, but still really cool. Like how it snowed in July in the first episode of Digimon. Sadly, I didn't wind up finding a glowing digital apparatus land at my feet during a freak meteor shower and teleporting to an alternate reality with six random strangers, but at least I cleaned up and colored a good chunk of the scenes in Bit while I was waiting for that to happen. C'est la vie, I suppose.

When you're EFX, You're EFX All The Way

...And you have barely any time to do anything else for any of your other classes. On the bright side...Bit is only forty-seven seconds long.

The above is a perspective ball bounce. Just look at that ugly messed-up layout of a room. The counter is in different perspective than the table. The tabletop is in different perspective than the table legs. And the whole thing made me want to tear out all my hair and eat it. And THE TONES...I will be fighting tone consistency until the day that I die of being overworked and underpaid. For some reason I love it anyway. Anyone who loves animation has been there, guaranteed. To top it all off I still can't seem to beat my rival. I tied with him last time, but that's about as close as I got to beating him all quarter.

Having a nice rivalry keeps things interesting and keeps me on my toes. It's great motivation! Rest assured, it's a friendly rivalry, and he's well aware of the fact. I'll just keep hacking away at it for now.

Errrr...well, at least the EFX song is out of the way...

I've finally got a cut of the Effects Song out of the way that doesn't involve me spazzing out thinking I'd been blacklisted! Next song for Monty! is probably going to be a parody of Monty Python's "I'm a Lumberjack," as suggested by Andrew Coppinger. You know, "I'm an animator, I'm okay, I work all night, I work all day..."

Bit's chugging along. EFX is just as much of a beast as I'd predicted and then some. If I'd been able to take it fall quarter it would have been so much easier...but alas. I'll post stuff when I get time to breathe I mean post stuff.

Also, rather appropriately, my conscience is writing the Jesus Flick of the Class of 2010. She does consciences proud. When I become a real boy (it's looking to be sooner than I anticipated) I'm going to have a lot to compensate for.

The Penultimate Showdown!

This...quarter...is...going...to...kill...me.

Effects + Senior II =/= sleep! And I have to go re-shoot the EFX song before it all gets out of hand. And I never got to finish Jacquestar.

(Okay, okay, breathe. Sit back, listen to some showtunes, and knock Bit's clean-up out. You'll thank me later.)

One Month Later...

Technically two? Did I really not post a single thing in November? Ah, well, Finals does that to you. I actually did do some stuff for Production Design that came out...well, I think it's okay, but my professor thought it was stunningly awesome. Here are my costume designs for a hypothetical remake of Romeo and Juliet, set in Gothic, medieval England (c. 1300). Tybalt and Friar Lawrence meet to converse about Juliet's marriage, shortly after Lawrence marries Romeo and Juliet to each other...only Tybalt thinks the marriage they're going to discuss is Juliet's pending marriage to Paris.

Long story short, Friar Lawrence tries to convince Tybalt not to kill Romeo for marrying Juliet. Hilarity ensues. Okay, not really...more like death, actually. You probably know the story.





So...uh...yeah. Friar Lawrence has been upgraded to a Catholic bishop. I jacked the Montagues' and Capulets' social status to royalty in rival kingdoms, so I figured Romeo wouldn't be chatting up just any old monk.

I had more fun with Tybalt--I mean, Catholic Clerical Garb hasn't changed much in the past thousand years--but now that I look at this again his one visible leg looks waaaaaaay too small. Face, meet desk.

EDIT: Blogger thinks I'm in Pacific time for some reason. Trust me, it's really December.
