Week 3!

It's going really well! Woo! It's currently week 4 actually, and I'm in the process of polishing, but this is my assignment from last week.

I followed the otter reference instead of the human reference for the gallop at the start and it made it soooo much better. This is with only about an hour of tweaking after going into splined. I didn't touch the gallop splines at all yet. (I know right?!)



The run is still a bit slow and floaty, and there are lots of other things to tweak. But it's going nicely. And I'm happy.

This week I'm finishing this one and planning my next shot: RAPTORMAN!

:D

Term 3! Weeks 1 and 2!

My mentor this term is Dave Vallone of RealFX. He really seems to know his stuff, and he's been in industry for ages. I'm really excited for the rest of the term.

I've chosen to have one theme for this whole term and it's human animals. As in, what does it look like when humans pretend to be animals.

Good news? It's pretty original and fun.
Bad news? I am uncoordinated and bruised from my attempts.

Here's my reference and blocking:





My planning didn't photograph well, so I'll skip that for now. I might actually scan it later on.

Onward to more otters!
