Planet Hundo

Working up some character designs for a small project I'll probably start up early next year, once I get my head around character animation in Flash. They're related to characters I worked on way back in this post!

By the way, if you're interested in a terrific book on drawing for animation, pick up Wayne Gilbert's Simplified Drawing For Planning Animation! It's a quick read that you'll find yourself going back to time and time again.

another Sunday, another set of sketches

Started playing with Sketchbook 2010 on my little Dell Mini 9 after finishing up an actual sketchbook for the first time thanks to the building momentum of SketchSunday Sessions. I'm trying out all kinds of new things, like silhouette studies and, gasp, color! Trying to see how far I can take Sketchbook 2010 after I watched the amazing Creaturebox screencaps that popped up this week. So much awesomeness!

Back In Business

So it's been a while, I know. But there's a good reason, really! I switched up jobs to make a pretty signifigant change in career paths. I left the good old gambling industry to help a good friend start up a new media company. That's right, podcasts!

I've been spending the last couple of months shooting, editing, and creating show graphics for a new online financial news company called ONN.tv. We started a new channel with six brand new shows, and we needed some logos done quickly: all that experience creating reel symbols at WMS came in real handy!

The new job's also opened the door to start producing my own content: fairly soon I'll be diving into preproduction on several video podcasts, and maybe an audio one as well. I let you know more as it gets closer to reality. Right now I'm just waiting on delivery of a new HV20 that I found on eBay, and then the greenscreen tests can commence!

The comic book plans aren't done either. With all this downtime commuting on the blue line, I've been drawing and writing more than I have since I was in college. So there will be actual drawing on this here blog shortly!
