Hey, don't clear my desk!

I can't be there on the first two days of school. :(
Enjoy your brief respite, classmates. I MISS SCHOOL. (Wow, I really just wrote that didn't I?) AND I MISS YOU. (Wow, etc.)

Have a video in the meantime.

Sounds Good To Me: Remastering The Sting



It's about a crucial part of filmmaking that's sometimes overlooked by the audience: sound design.

"This calls for a very special blend of psychology and extreme violence."

My first attempts at sketching Vyvyan from The Young Ones, for the maquette. Don't expect it anytime soon, though. There's still a lot of sketching to be done. And getting down a really characteristic pose, for one.




I just love Ade Edmondson's face, and when he's playing Vyv, the (already prominent) jaw is jutted out and the cheeks are sucked in.

I don't want to make it all realistic-like, more of a caricature. And I find it so hard to simplify people. I mean, for me it takes ages of drawing a person before I can "unearth" something that's simple but still recognisable. That's not a great way to do it, I'm pretty sure. I hope it's just lack of practise.

It isn't even fanart, more like a fandoodle.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, or holiday, and a Fun Funn New Year!

Want a friend? Tell me you like Master and Commander... (I'll shut up about it any day now, promise.) :) I know Britt does, and you trust her judgement, don't you?

I'm confined to SUCH PRIMITIVE CONDITIONS right now, therefore the awful picture quality etc. No scanner -- it's a photo; no Photoshop -- edited in MS Paint *laughing* *crying*
It's biro *happy*
(And it's not a troll, just yet. I'm all for the illustration challenge thing and will try to participate later.)


Aw, you'll always be a girly-man to me, Pullings. :P

I'm marooned in this armpit where bookplaces do not stock my drug of choice: I can't advance in the Aubrey-Maturin series. Fortunately I can re-read some of the earlier parts that I've stashed here, like Treason's Harbour. It's just as awesome as any other part of the epic, but as a bonus in the beginning it has TRASHED!Pullings. Pullings and Mowett trashed are funny. So, with their movie counterparts as models, I biro-ed them. Both acting quite uncharacteristically. The uniforms aren't accurate either, obviously. That's not the biro way.

There's no explanation

A final assignment animation by Kendall, inspired by (=ripped off off) Chelsea.



Voice cast: Joe as Captain Aubrey (by way of JFK?), me as one-armed Blakeney.

I don't like myself and I can't blame you if you uninvite me home for christmas

My final animation assignment. We had to animate a character jogging into frame, saying a line, getting hit in the head from above, staggering, and falling. Like I said I chose to animate (and voice, just for the heck of it) Jay Sherman, and I like the character so much -- but especially in the face it doesn't look a lot like him.



I returned the assignment late and I still hadn't been able to clean it all up. Stupid me... I will get super frikking organised next year.

Lifedrawing leftovers

We had to hand in 10 life drawings to be graded at the end of this semester, and this is going to reveal something unpleasant about me: ten didn't seem like enough. Some of my favourites had to be left out of the final batch! Gesture drawings, for example, always look the most beautiful to me, but they don't show much of the stuff we've learned during this semester, etc, etc...
Therefore I will now sketchdump some drawings that I wanted to hand in, but couldn't! Conceited? So what.

^ My capable colleagues modeling again! They're always among my fave drawings. :D
