Keeping on going

Oky so I am updating twice in one week. whooo this is probably a first for me. But I have amped up my work level again this week. I have decided because of the slow level of progression that I have to cram some more hours in on my portfolio work. Less sleep, but more work accomplished so all worth is. So here is the last couple of days work.

My interior/exterior concept has reach some more progression in the last few days. Its not completed, but I hope to have that done in the next couple of days. Here is what it is looking like for the moment.

Ignore the squiggly perspective lines. I am thinking on changing the perspective of the bridge though its really funky looking. maybe even changing the type of bridge.

Okay to the next thing as for my drawing studies I have only managed to finish half of one. It shows you a bit about how I sketch it out though. So here it is.

Do you love my squiggly blurs.

Next thing on my list is the most exciting thing in my news. I have done the last one of my blendshapes.
Here they stand all in a line/s.

 As I was doing them I started off really slow and clunky in the facial expressions. But I feel as though I have developed. I am starting to understand a lot more about the characterization of characters. How to get a expression and on top of that add the elements of a characters persona.

I did a lot of research on the way. I found the best thing to do is do research and find your reference. The next step for me is to finish off the rest of the rigging on my character, then start filming the reference footage and to start the blocking in the animation. most of my rigging has being completed, but I have to finish off some stuff on it and then to top that off to finish the skinning of the character.

On a last note I am half way through storyboarding my next short. You might remember me posting up some pics a few weeks back. I thought my last animation had a lot of shots. Well this one pretty much tops that one. To be posted soon once I finished it though.
