Caged

Just some quick sketches of Nicolas Cage in the Weather Man. It's pretty fun.

Oh yeah, he does actually dress up as Abe Lincoln at one point.

Origami?

This is something Microsoft is cooking up- Described as:

"According to at least one report, Bill Mitchell, Corporate Vice President of the Mobile Platform Division, showed a slide that outlined specs for the new PC category, including that it be wearable, always on, no larger than 10-inches, connected through 3G networks, pen-based, and have a suggested retail price of $500 or less. … One notable spec that could differentiate this one: Microsoft is apparently insisting that this run the full version of Windows"

What do you think?

(One note - it seems to be running Alias Sketchbook Pro as a drawing program)

Also, in the news today, via Ultimate Disney, says that Ratatouile (Pixar's next film directed by Brad Bird) will be released on June 29th 2007, and Disney's Meet the Robinsons will be released March 30, 2007. Also, it seems that the next Narnia movie will be Prince Caspian, and will come out December 14, 2007.

One more thing: Toom Boom Studio 3 is now out. Check out its nifty features.

Tablet PC!

All you techie fans, check out this tablet pc. Dual processors, 4 gig ram max, 100 gig hard drive, DVD burner, 1400X1050 12.1" screen, and 5 pounds. Not a bad computer at all, I'd definetly like one. Though I'm definetly not a fan of an "Intel GMA 950" graphics card....

Anyways, tablets are awesome, tablet displays are even cooler, and tablets intergrated into laptops are the coolest. Check it out.

Ships!

One of my ship layouts for Piotr's class.

30 minute speedpaint on it.

By the way, watch Curious George if you get the chance. It's really heartwarming.

Oh ya, and I updated my demo reel (again). It now has more life drawing, more layout, more character design, and more animation, as well as music. Check it out in the demo reel post below, or to the right.

Kthx.

1 Long-eee

A 10 minute drawing of Fiona.

Two Quickies

2 One Minute drawings of Fiona.

Robert Kim

It's Robert Kim, with his little tablet, grinning like he does.

Another Layout

Just a quick (like, less than 20 minutes quick) monchromatic tonal paint on a layout from earlier on in the year.

The markering was probably better, but I don't really remember....

Anyways, hope you like it.

One Layout

Here's a layout I did earlier on in the year.

I've been wanting to post my layouts (because layout and life drawing (and possibly storyboarding) are my two favorite classes) but Piotr never handed them back.... so I speedpainted this one in Photoshop just to give it some tone. Hope you like it.

Maya! Sack!

Hey there,

Just taught myself how to model in Maya using Polygons. Thought you'd think it'd be neat.

P.S. Yes, I've done a NURBS one too, but this one is better, methinks.

Pierre-Luc Aubé

It's just Pierre.

More Bazo

Still working on the same sequence, but a new painting.

Hope you guys like the look.

Miyazaki-san

Hey there,

There's now a 'trailer' for the new Ghibli film, "Tales from Earthsea" floating around the net. Unfortunately it's a RealPlayer file, but still worth checking out.

The film is directed by Goro Miyazaki, son of Hayao. If you didn't already know, Goro has a blog, and is translated into english on This Site. It's also linked at right.

Another thing to note is that Howl's Moving Castle will (finally) be released March 7. Also out that day is a 2-disc set for My Neighbour Totoro, as well as the previously unreleased Whispers of the Heart.

One more thing, I got a chance to see Sylvain Chomet's short film, "La Vieille Dame Et Les Pidgeons". I recommend seeing it if you can get the chance.

Adric Worley

Yup, It's Adric Worley, currently in Art Fundamentals at Sheridan. Thanks for posing, mate.

P.S. Yes, I updated this post with a better image and changed the name of the post.

Life of the Day

Two drawings from today.

Meh.

Me Feel So Stupid

After twiddling around with the settings of my blog in the wee hours of the morning, I realise that I accidently turned on comment moderation, and no comments were showing up.

What's even cooler is that it's been going on for at least a month.

Awesome.

I've tried to reply to all backlogged comments, so if you've commented in the last month, I've tried to address it. Sorry, and thanks all for stopping by!

Today's Life

Some drawings of Janine.

Costumage

That's not a word.

But these are four drawings from today.

Fallen Art takes Another

Congrats to makers of the short film Fallen Art for winning a BAFTA Award today.

I hope you guys will get a chance to see this short - really well done, in my opinion.

Also, if you can get the chance, go to the Ottawa International Animation Festival next year. Please. It's worth your while.
