My Mickey Mouse Degree

Had a meeting with my Project Supervisor today, and he revealed to me that my idea was in fact almost identical to something that was submitted last year. I have never seen, nor heard of this thing from last year, yet I have officially ripped it off almost to the letter.

Clearly my idea can’t be any good if someone’s already done it, that much is obvious.

So now I’m working with something else, which is a bit more ‘researchy’ but still allows me to produce some animation at the end. Trouble is, I haven’t done research on anything in a looooong time, and even though it’s about animation, it still manages to seem overwhelmingly daunting to me. Perhaps I’m just easily daunted.

I got that list I was on about sorted, and have made SOME progress with my work as a result, which is a relief. I figured I’d be stuck jumping from one thing to another and getting nowhere for the rest of term, which would have blown monstrously.

Drawing is still going badly, but luckily that doesn’t matter so much at the moment, everything’s all ideas right now, though I am managing to produce some decent life drawing stuff on the Friday session I go to.

That’s all there is today.

Hold on, I’m just checking through my crap to see if I can find anything worth sticking up here.

…

I don’t appear to have that much at the moment, most of my time has gone into pondering story ideas and doing test animations for my projects here at uni, which I can’t really show you yet.

Still, here’s a couple of thingies from a while back -

Bugs Vector Sketches

Fox Take

Bleh, I need to get my head around all the work that needs to be done, since at the moment I’m kinda lost with it all and not doing anything other than feeling confused. I’ll write a list I reckon, should help me sort it all out in my head.

I’m also lacking a camera now and thus any easy way of digitalising my traditional work, so don’t expect any sketches to appear anytime soon (and I have a lot of those…)

I think I’ll leave it there for now, and go write that list.

Firstly, I’d like to address my frankly immoral usage of the word “ironically” in the last post. There was nothing ironic about that metaphorical arrow, and never will be, and I have little to no idea why I would write such a thing.

Regardless, I now have the internet here at last, so I can update this thingywhatsit.

I’ve got a fair bit of stuff to show, but I’m in the middle of some 3D modelling right now so I’ll stick them up here another time, just figured I’d drop by and write some words.

Oh, and check this the hell out - STREET FIGHTER EFFING 4!

Nice.
