Upcoming Project: Sneak Preview.

I know I've been a little quiet these past few weeks, but I've got big things in the works and I'm ready to give everyone a peak. I don't want to say much about this project yet, but I'd like to share a bit of it's character concept art.

More about this project as it develops...

Convention Announcement.

Hello everyone. I'll just use this week's post to announce that I'll have a table at the upcoming OooWee Mini Con. On June 2nd at the Harrisburg Mall  where I'll be selling artprints, and copies of Amusing Tales, as well as other goodies. Come on by!

Secret Origin of Captain Super Atomic Man (Videocomic)

This is a little experiment of mine. I wanted to make a "Motion comic" that wasn't just a slide-show with voice acting (which is neither "motion" nor "comic").

Hopefully, by retaining the individual panel shapes, and animating the faces, this videocomic format will be more watchable and a better hybrid of comics and animation than many I've seen.

I think I still prefer a regular comic, but this is another way to get my work out there, and give people a chance to voice my characters (I'm still looking for voice actors, you know).

Admittedly, the comic itself isn't my best drawn (I was rushing to meet a deadline and got a little sloppy), but I really like my gags in it. You can find this story and other (better drawn) comics of mine in "Amusing Tales" available here.

Another Test Animation (Spooky Boy from Crackergeist)

Yet another test animation, this time it's one I did years ago for my short, Crackergeist. It's a walking and expressions test (I like to do those when I build a character model), but it's also an experiment in Blender's cloth simulation.

The cloth sim worked well enough in the animation tests, but (as you may have noticed) I couldn't get it to work in the actual film. His shirt kept sliding off his body or just falling apart.
