But I can promise I am enjoying it lots and looking forward to the game being released to see if non-biased people like it as much. Although ... http://annamations.animationblogspot.com/2008/04/30/random-sketches/ Some life drawing I scanned recently - about a year old. A definite improvement from previous years especially with quick sketches, and much more enjoyable and chilled sessions. Finally I could let go and not care if each sketch is a portfolio piece or not. Hope find somewhere to do some ... http://annamations.animationblogspot.com/2008/02/15/life-drawing-2/ Thank you for visiting my space of bloggings and work in progress.

Enjoy! http://youtube.com/watch?v=cJmZkdPF0vc http://annamations.animationblogspot.com/2007/09/10/all-clean-and-squeaky/ Three days before hand in, I thought I'll post a few stills of the rendered shots, which I must say I'm quite proud of how they are looking. Still need to rerender a few passes and colour-match all the shots together but if someone told me last September that I'd ... http://annamations.animationblogspot.com/2007/09/04/film-stills/ Spend most of this week carrying out some extreme UVing. Used Roadkill for the initial unwrapping and then tidy up diferent objects togehter on the same maps - something like puting together puzzle pieces.
