Allrighty, so its been insanely busy, again, as always, but Im going to post some animation FINALLY rather than just some poses. :-D SO, I just revised some of my walk cycle, still looks kind of funny to me, but Im not sure whats wrong with it yet. Posted it to AM for my class to take a look at, so hopefully I can revise it again and post the final later on. Either way, here it is!
Ballie and his "Vanilla Walk":
Here is Tailor that I just did last week as well. I think he still needs some revisions, but this is what I turned in :-)
Tailor:
I really liked working with Tailor. I found that I got kind of confused with the successive breaking of joints sometimes, but I feel like it turned out ok. Some spots I would probably go over and modify again, as always.
Here is my Pendulum animation. We did this one before we did Tailor. This I found really difficult, I had trouble with the joints and some of the timing, but overall I think it turned out alright as well.
Pendulum:
Alrighty, well, thats it so far. I'll try to get better at posting more on this more often. I've still got a bunch of poses and sketches to put up. :-)
Thanksgiving time!

Busy as hell...but FINALLY an update!
Ooookay, so its Saturday, and I am FINALLY able to sit down for a little bit and get to put something of substance up here! I'm living a bit of an insane life right now, I have an internship at a Production company (who I'm hoping will hire me when it ends *crossing fingers*) on Mondays and Wednesdays, I work at the Cheesecake Factory restaurant on Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays, along with some days on the weekends when I have homework done to pick up shifts, and then of course Animation Mentor! Which has been AMAZING, but I definitely wish I had some more time to focus on it. Oh yea, and I have another semi-job that I have been picking up when I have only a half day at Cheesecake Factory (CCF) at my Chiropractor's office. haha. So, yea, on top of Triathlon training, its been tough. Getting up at 5 every morning to work out, then awake or out until after midnight most nights. *sigh*
Anyway, on to the Animation part!! So, I have now been in Animation Mentor for about 7 weeks (not counting the 6 weeks over the summer when I did a Maya Springboard Class). My mentor is Chad Sellers, awesome AWESOME guy, and my class freakin rocks. Apparently we're some of the most talkative and energetic classes on the site right now, which I feel really greatful for. Everyone is always sending out messages, advice, video reference, and just random funny jokes or information. I am so surprised at how close everyone gets, especially in an online atmosphere. I have learned SO much more from my classmates and my mentor in that 7 weeks than I even came close to in 4 years of JMU Animation class. *But its cool, our professor there sucked anyway*, haha, and I KNOW all of my JMU classmates will agree.
Alright, well, Now I am going to post some of my work so everyone can get a taste of what I've been spending my free time on. :-D
Ok, so we started off posing this character called Stu. Here are some of the first things I came up with:
1. Any emotion or pose you want. This is the first idea I came up with and actually turned in. I like to include a Silhouette as well with the poses just to get a better idea of it :-)
2. This is the second one I came up with, it was more of an excited pose I guess.
3. This is one of my favorites, I thought it was kinda funny... Haha. Dude passed out asleep :-D I don't like the angle of it very much, I'd change the camera, but still, you get the idea.
Then we had to show some more specific ones like, Devastated and then specifically Excited. So, here are the ones I came up with for that!
1. Devastated
2. Excited
Alllrighty. SO, there are my final poses so far. I had a couple of others, ones I didn't turn in, but I will post them later. Now, I should actually get started on finishing up my Homework thats due tomorrow!
I'll probably post some more tonight I hope, try and get more of my work up for people to see :-).
