It's been a fun few months to be an animator.  I haven't had any big 3D jobs so I've been helping a incorporating money with paper work to pay my bills.  But finally I get two 3D contracts, one paid with a big company and one unpaid for a friend that would lead to future paid projects.  

The unpaid friend project stopped communicating about it around the exact same time he got engaged.  I get how that's a big deal and all, but it wouldn't be that hard to say "I want that part rounded" or other tips so I can capture his design perfectly.  Oh well, unpaid so no skin off my back, and it's always there to come back too.

The paid one, that's another story.  They asked me for a price range and time frame for a project, I got it them the very next day.  They were super excited...then they vanished off the face of the earth for two weeks.  No email or phone call could reach them.  Finally I heard from them and it seem to be working out, so no complaints.

In the end it's all good, but seriously, communication people.  It takes ten minutes of your time and saves everyone trouble.

So I finished my Christmas short film.  It didn't turn out at the quality I wanted it too, but I learned what my mistake was (mostly it's my Adobe's being way out of date) and future films will be much better (were talking full HD!!!!) so all's well that ends well.

What's it about you say?   Why the mafia of course.  Nothing says Christmas like the Mafia...just watch...

I had a lot of fun making this so I hope you all have a lot of fun watching it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

So it's time for my last set of images from my old work.  Two images of a model that was never used and the other two are from personal projects that are currently delayed.  Why are they delayed you ask?  Because I've got several projects I need to get finished asap.
  
Project 1:  Statue
I'm making a CG model of a friends character so it can be printed into a vinyl statue that we're going to try and sell.  If it works out then I'll be doing a whole series of statues.
Project 2:  Christmas Film
I wrote a short Christmas film and suddenly all the planets seem to be aligning so now I've got the chance to act in and direct it!  Should be fun, but I want to get it out before Christmas...for obvious reasons.
Project 3:  Assorted
I haven't picked which of my other projects will take priority next.  I have a HD remake of one of my old animations, a web comic, a actual comic and a animation to honor my grandfather all in the works.

And of course during all that I'm still writing movie reviews for Spoiler Alert(which if you haven't seen here's a link spoileralertreview.blogspot.co…) and I spend like 30 hours a week trying to find a job.  Adding on to that is the release of Skyward Sword tomorrow...it's gonna get busy up in here!

So wish me luck and I'll be updating my gallery as each project progresses.

What did you say person watching my deviant art?  You want to see the rest of my environments?  
Your wish I shall grant!  But tomorrow we get a model I've had a few friends request to see!

Alrighty, so now I'm going to post some models that I textured, but did not model.  Also, more environments...cuase I gots lots of them!

I'm gonna try and get the rest of my images up by the end of the week, but I've got a project I really need to finish before sunday so I might get distracted.
