'twas a nightmare, I'm not sure if I lost it on the bus (who don't pick up their phone btw) or in the taxi I got home from Tesco, but it was an obscure firm who I didn't check the name of :/. The ordeal is pretty much over now though, I'm not too sad I lost my sketchbook, I mean, it did have a ton of my drawings in, but i'm not a very nostalgic person so I sort of see it as a chance to start again. The main problem was the book thing (How much do they charge when you lose a book?)
I was 70 something pages through the book when it happened, and had it all nicely scheduled out so that i'd read about 60 pages a day up til sunday when i'd write my essay, but instead I had a panicked look around the shops in Truro for this obscure book that nowhere had. After that I came home and searched allllllllll night long for first of all a collection of essays which was way harder than it should have been, and finally settling on illegally downloading a different book by the same author. That was Saturday night, and the deadline was Monday... that meant that I spent just over 8 hours full-on reading this book- no breaks at all, not even for food, I had to rush it down, followed by a 1 hour break and 3 hours writing the bloody thing.
It's all over now though, and i'm fairly happy with the review, although it was a little short.
Had a lovely day today continuing the modeling of Karl. He's the guy I've assigned myself to model, I couldn't wait to get from the concepting stage to the modeling one. I've actually been too hasty, in that I've not even drawn turn-arounds of all of the characters that i'm meant to.
Here's my guy for now, Karl, the cool black guy.
Turn-arounds:
Various Screen-grabs:
I'm really getting into modeling now, I feel like i'm settling in (even on topological terms) and all that i've left to do now (on a strictly modeling stage) is continue to improve my knowledge on the tools and techniques that i've already started to grasp, this, along with speeding up significantly. That AND a literal ton of other things like rigging, blendshapes, shaders, lighting, balhaerlhalh etc etc etc etc.
I'm having fun though, and that's the main thing. I quite happily sat there for pretty much 7 hours today plodding along with work. It's also a great thing that I don't have a big distraction right now either (i'm looking at you, street fighter). Today's been a great day work-wise, also the sky when I left the studio was really something special, I wish I had a camera with me at the time.
Alright alright. More updates to come, I may possibly post the rest of the turn-arounds when they're done, all i've left to draw is the stripper and the waitress possibly. mewoemow peace out.
p.s. If you're actually reading this crap, whoever you are, leave me a comment. I keep meaning to write this but always forget. I just wonder if anyone actually reads these words :o I promise i'll reply.
p.p.s. Broken Social Scene sound promising *pirates*
