I survived the Reckoning

Film season has come to an end. My film was screened last saturday at CalArts at the open show. It was 92% finished, however it was received well and people did not make fun of it during the screening. I feel respected, and I feel like I accomplished something huge.
Screening your work and getting the reaction you hoped for makes the massive struggle worth it. I had a great time. I brought my girlfriend to the 12 hour screening so she could see all the films and she had a great time. We all did. I'm very happy right now... and a little at peace.

So now I have to finish the film by may 17th so I can submit it to Ottawa and other festivals. WWWOOOOOOO!!!

Until then, these are some sketches I did while I was in film season. As you can see, It isn't a lot. The film season took up all my time so I couldn't draw leisurely.

Thanks everyone. Enjoy the show.

Lets go Mud racing...

In my character design class yesterday, we were designing the Adams family. I wasn't allowed to because I had to finish another assignment (wwaaaahhh.) It's my fault, I shouldn't have complained.
I had to do a redesign of a charter from "Wacky races." I redesigned the hillbillies.... but i was having so much fun, I just went and drew a couple o billies.

Hope you like em.

Enjoy the show. 

Trying to stay chipper

Films are due in a little over a month. I'm scrambling to get scenes done and yet I'm beginning to fear weather it will be complete. Cleanup is a screaming bitch on a hangover. I SHALL NOT FRETT! Here are some drawings I did :P

Me and mah lovely lady. Enjoy the show.

Motivation

There are many things that motivate me get up in the morning (despite the thought that once I leave that bed, I am in work mode and my day is focused on my film.)
The thought of a wonderful breakfast...
A good mile run...
Maybe getting a pay check...
Seeing my folks... (unless it was like this morning, where I woke up to me ma yelling at me to clean the bathroom)
A good bone crack...
A nice drive through the countryside (the old road to CalArts)...
Some Canadian punk, thats a recent motivator...
...lunch.....

Well, all these aside, I drew this, which didn't motivate me at ALL!!!

While i'm at it,
I'm 43 scenes into about 100, so I'l almost half way there. That makes me pretty happy. So, by wednesday, I should be up to 50 scenes.

Enjoy the show! Hope you are all healthy and well.

Strawberries

I have been working on this character lineup since I started visual development on my film. I just never got to it... I have been wicked excited about it, but most of these character never show up in the film, so I decided that I didn't really gave a hoot if I finished them or not. But then I got to thinking....

Strawberries. I want Strawberries...

And with that, the character line up wound up being finished. Funny how thoughts evolve.

They were fun. :)

Enjoy the show.
