Sick art!

Been sick with a cold all week and I took the down time to start a new 2D piece. Over a year ago I did a Norman Bates painting which ended up getting put in a rad Bates Motel postcard book! Seeing as I enjoyed doing that piece a lot and have been enjoying the show even more now (That last season was fantastic!) I have decided on doing another Bates Motel piece. This time of Emma cause Emma rules! Not finished yet and I MUST do this 3D assignment so I will be continuing on it when this 3D one is done but for your enjoyment here is where the artwork is at.

The Life & Death of the Party

Last week I had an excellent time rocking out in Melbourne at the Alice Cooper & Mötley Crüe concerts and of course again in Sydney. Missed a week of class but it was worth it and then some! Alice Cooper's show is always stellar. Such a professional, amazing visuals he just needed a longer set!

On the other side I have never been more ready to give up on both full time study and the 3D art arena. After a week of relaxation and great times the world of art seems like such a chore. Just before I left Melbourne I was informed my Beagle/Raptor was not hyper-realistic enough :/

I think he is pretty sweet personally.

So yeah I have to completely re-do it somehow which I haven't started yet but it's due on Friday. The world of 3D seems so snobby and pretentious which is the opposite of me which is making it increasingly hard to get motivated to finish this degree which is only another 12 or so in-class weeks. Why must people take everything so seriously? 3D art isn't saving people's lives, it isn't important (Most jobs aren't). Where 3D is the best is when you create something you care about or accomplish something with a team you care about.

I really wish I studied something a little more stable or even more important at this point. A job or subject where there is a clear right and wrong. I love being creative but it seems the world we live in isn't looking for creative.

The story/quote that made me try and get into the animation world:
"The notion of my father dying screaming changed my life completely, because I was like even a good man in this world… You play the game, you play it straight, you play it by the rules, you do everything you’re supposed to, and you’re gonna die screaming anyway. And at that point I was like ‘there’s no point in not trying to accomplish every stupid, fuckin’ dream I’ve got."-Kevin Smith on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast

I don't know dudes and dudettes. The depression is multiplied thanks to the amazing week I had in Melbourne and all the great concert experiences in the last 7 days. 

Here is some inspiration to do what makes you happy. Think about it! Joe is 100% correct in this.

 

Life is not about your job or working hard for someone else's dream a reality. It's about experiencing what you want, making yourself happy and chasing your dreams. 

I'm such a downer I know but remember even when you are feeling down continue to Stay Frosty

Last minute everything!

Yeah I have a super amount of work to do in 2 days. Always leaving things to the very last minute.I would much rather be back in the world of Pro-Wrestling rather than the judgemental, ego driven world of art but have to wait a few more months for more wrestling.

Hey dreams are funny things and you have to do all this stupid rubbish to achieve them sometimes or you will be left wondering 'What If' and I don't want that but Motivation it is such an aggravation when it is stuff you really don't want to do. I tried 2 days ago to start this stupid hybrid character assignment and ended up drawing a picture of Louis Theroux instead. So here is that picture.

His latest three specials were great! Loved the mental institution ones. I really miss 'Weird Weekends'. Easily one of the best TV shows of all time. What a great concept! Yeah gotta get to work tomorrow.....or maybe the next day.

I got a Vortex in my pants! OH!

Totally winging a presentation tomorrow cause that's how I roll. How can I go wrong when I am presenting the Staten Island Dandy though? Hopefully it will all go well and I can incorperate my TESD project into passing my school work so I can work on it alot more!

Here is some more Diamond BQ for your eyes.

OH! here is a little more! OH!

OH! You begged and pleaded for more so here is just a little more from my TESD project. I finished modelling the microphone (for now) that captures the audio magic created around the table.

Until next time Keep on Fluttering!

Tell 'Em Steve Dave! 3D project

First post of the year is here. You can breath your sigh of relief now because I have returned.

 Everybody knows the best podcast in not only the world but the entire universe is Tell 'Em Steve Dave! So I have decided to create the TESD boys in 3D. I had to start off with the Staten Island Dandy, Brian Quinn. OH!
I have modelled a Q based off of the Rob Etch cartoons mixed with my own style.

Also added a Purple hoodie and the glorious facial hair for a more current look.

 

I haven't done any texturing or shader work yet (except the skin)

Because rigging isn't a strong point I have used 'Advanced Skeleton 4' auto rigging and have gotten a pretty awesome rig for the body set up. Once it is weight painted it will be a rocking rig.

 

The IJ classic Martian Hula hoop

I haven't quite got the Advanced Skeleton face rig working how I want it yet so may have to rig the face manually but here are some mess around faces.

 

 I'm not sure if I want to get the face rig done or start modelling Bry, or Walt so instead of procrastinating I have also have started modelling the Table and Microphone also with no texture work done yet.

I really want to update this blog much more so hopefully it won't take me two months again.

YOHO
