Ben wants YOU! To Audition for his film!

I made a promise perhaps a month ago that I would post something every week. Well... i lied. I didn't uphold that and I am sorry. More to myself really, cus that was a commitment I brushed off to play Legend of Zelda. :) Maybe I'll do a Zelda drawing. OH MY GOD! That sounds fun...

Well, anyway. My film is underway. I have over half the backgrounds done for my film. I need to get flash installed on my computer and then I can start animating. BUT, as the process of film production is underway, I have a shout out I must make:

I AM LOOKING FOR A COMPOSER AND TWO VOICE ACTORS FOR THIS FILM. This is my flyer:

If anyone knows someone who is interested (and can do a convincing irish accent) I would love to hear them out. This is my info incase it is too hard to read:

Benjamin P. Carow

I hope to hear back from anyone interested :)

Enjoy the show (when it comes out)

This guy has been utter hell to design. But after several pages of crap and critiques, i think i hit some gold. This is Aaron. 

I've stated animating, even though the story in't entirely hammered out, but its getting there. Its lookin... pprreeetttyyy good (in my opinion. 

Enjoy the show. 

The revolution is at hand

and by that, i mean my hand hurts from painting this propaganda.

this is for my film. Aaron, my main character, is part of the revolutionary party that is planning to overthrow the british rule in 1900s france. It takes place a year before the revolution started.

enjoy the show

Thank you

Today is thanksgiving. It smells absolutely delicious down the hallway and I can't wait to gobble... gobble... gobble....

I'm actually eating duck this year instead of a turkey, and I won't complain. I feel bad for all the turkeys that butchered on this holiday, but so many animals get butchered regularly, poking accusations on just one day is unfair.

To all ye pilgrims out there, happy thanksgiving. Those who aren't... i'm very sorry.

Give thanks to all the wonderful things in our lives that we take for granted. I love my life, the wonderful people in it, my awesome family and the beautiful lady whom I can't wait to see later tonight (whom I hope can make it!)

Have a great thanksgiving and enjoy the shows (i.e. the Charlie Brown thanksgiving special. Popcorn on thanksgiving? Too good to be true.)

Hey there, PRILGRIM.....

Here is a character turn of a pilgrim I designed. I call him Petey Conwheel. He plots to kill his roommate, who is a talking turkey whom nobody in his town can see except for Petey.

Enjoy the show!

I PITCHED AT DREAMWORKS

and it was brutal. I pitched my film idea to dreamworks (strictly educational purposes, I made no money) and I got some real good feedback. I have a lot of faith in this project and iI feel it will work up to my expectations.

Here is a redesign of one of the characters from my film.

I went though a lot of designs to get to this one, as you can see. I like the effect of putting the sketches behind the finished design :)

Enjoy the show!

My dear friends...

I've realized something today... I do not make NEARLY as much blog posts as I should be. With all the crazy amounts of work I am doing, school, film and personal, it is downright ridiculous that I am not posting on a regular basis.

So I am setting up a challenge to myself. I need to make at least 1 blog post a week, be it anything from school, film, comic, stupid sketches, etc. I PLAN to keep this up, as it is important to me and I shall do that.. starting RIGHT NOWWWWWW!!!!!

This is a character exploration of the main character of my film, Aaron. His designs started very much uninterestingly and I decided to play with his design and make the character I felt he needed a spice and i think i found it... i'm not fond of his colors now that i think of it.

Enjoy the show!
