Alright alright, I haven't been keeping up the blog but for good reasons!
Reason #1: I am swamped with my 3D animated short! I have to make this minute and a half long animation all by myself and its proving to be tougher than anticipate, even as simple as it is. I will try to update the work on the blog as much as possible, but I'm not finished with the rendered look so you'll have to wait. The animation is done though!
Reason #2: I am planning to teach two classes and four sections of it over the summer at Yale! The subjects are 3D Visual Effects (Basics of Maya) and Architecture (basically Graphics of the Building Arts with some model making). I need to make activities, lectures, and other teacher stuff to convey these subjects gradually over the course of a few weeks, and it's a lot harder than it looks! Though I know it's going to be fun!
Reason #3: Me and my girlfriend like to live life and do things. I regret nothing.
Reason #4: Video games are the bane of my existence and eat all the down time I have. And if it's not video games, it's Battlestar Galactica with the girlfriend. Again, I regret nothing. I believe to be a whole and balanced human being you need to spend your time NOT working, even if you love your work and desperately want to be successful at it. Sure you gotta sacrifice a lot to make your goals, but there are some things I love that I can't sacrifice and that includes people and things I care about. That's what being human is about.
Okay, now that I've lectured you on my life and philosophy, here's a little bit of work I made to return a favor for a friend. He'll be modeling it so I'm excited to see the end product.
It started off as an "organic" and "animal" inspired sword. I thought of conventional weaponry and traditional swords based on organic shapes and animals, then it turned into an actual "organic" and "animal" swords using bones from rhinos, sharks, platypus, and even a mole rat. You cant blame him for going for the bone weapons, they are cooler than the metal weapons. Here's some art for your faces.
