SOOO... you still there?

ha.. I have just realized I'm horrible at keeping up to date on a blog, especially when life throws CRAZINESS at you! (ehem.. like the news that I'm officially moving to South Korea in August! ..yeah.. THAT craziness) Almost 2 months have gone by and you (whoever may read this) have not heard from me. I apologize. So lucky for you, I have uploaded not one, but TWO new animations from class 2: BODY MECHANICS.. dun dun DUNNN. I hope you enjoy. I've started to get an eye for what looks right and it's exciting. People will watch my animations and be like "wow, that's so cool!" and then I'm thinking.. "yeah.. but... see how his hand isn't overlapping the motion of his arm? Or look how his whole body just feels mechanical because it's moving all at the same time??" (and it's at these moments, after I get "the look" that I feel like one BIG nerd. but hey.. it IS a part of my name, right? ha. Nerdmannimation.. hmmm... I might be on to something.)

ANYWAYS, here's the last 2 assignments I turned in. The first is stewie (no arms) jumping on posts. I still need to tweak overlapping.. (I feel like that's my cheer now.. "hip hip.. OVERLAP! hip hip.. OVERLAP!") The second is what I'm currently working on, so this isn't the final version.. but it's DEFINITELY taken a turn for the better since last week. phew.. LOTS of noodling going on here. The second animation is a fully-"ARM"ed stewie falling asleep in the outfield and being RUDELY awoken by the incoming play... will he save the game?? ..ha.. you gotta watch it to find out! :) again.. nerd. i'm going to take out the glance at the watch and OVERLAP this thing like crazy madness.. but enjoy it nonetheless! Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any comments/suggestions/enquiries, etc.

I'm also going to be creating a comic strip for my church's newspaper, which I'm SO excited about! So once I get those cranked out, I'll GLADLY share them with you! TAKE CARE!
