I'm not dead, I just seem like I am! The typical "non-blogging"excuse is busy-ness. Mine is no exception, except, I can't ever remember being this busy in my entire life! Every minute of my day is filled from the time I wake, to the time I sleep. So, I've been drawing like crazy, just nothing I am able to show. Have been helping to design on "Curious George 2"... has been fun, the shape language of the film was superbly established by Shannon Tindle and Shane Prigmore. So it's just trying to make things look like they fit into their world ya know? Have been doing some story boarding on it, and will start animating a few things for the show as weel next week. Cool beans!
For the first time in, I dunno HOW long I got free time today to just draw whatever my heart desired! Have been mulling over my short film in my head am starting to hone in on some ideas. Looked at some old designs, and realized how little I truley pushed them. So, decided to take the cork off of the creative bottle this afternoon. I have more pages of wilder stuff, but these are closer to what I think the character should feel like. They are just real loose ideas, not refined... just wanted to get through a lot before I started refining anything. Later!
