Something Debbie Comes This Way...

FAIL.

I'm calling it a fail.
I started this project a couple of weeks ago as something to do to keep my hands from becoming the devil's playthings. A little bit of scenic fluff, a nice mountain a few birds and some gold fish. But it's all gone to rubbish. The sky isn't working out the birds won't fly correctly, the fish won't do anything, so like the Lorax I'm sending them off. I like the waves move and will file them use later.

So what next!?!?!
I've had the suggestion of a robot unicorn, but that will have to wait. Right now I think I'm going to just make images I like rather worry about a story.

Even with an extra day....

....I still didn't get a project done in February.  But I did get an idea for the next project, which I got started on.  It's not a "full" project, it's not a story, it's just a chance to make some images that would be cool. You know some mountains, some fish, a few really cool waves. So far I've just got the mountain...

All your cakes are mine.

The January project is done.  Hops Monster runs wild!
This project was the suggestion of Bri Dotson and her blog beerfordessert.com . The monster's head is a sack of hops, the cake is a rum rasin from the blog, the monster's eyes are based on the Solar Trans Amp label and the mooostache is just because Bri likes mooostaches. 

Not sure what February's project is going to be. I've got a few ideas for short projects and great idea for a big project, (it's about bears in suits HA!).  J vs S, a friend's electronica band, has ask about doing some pictures for them. So that could be cool.

Done.

So just a few months off my November 6th deadline, but nonetheless done.  The monsters are over and put to bed, with a nice little bedtime story.  They are over to the right, if you would like to check out the final product.

The down side is that now I have two weeks to make my next project in order to meet my one project a month deadline. Any suggestions?

So...yeah about that two months.....

So I'd like to say I've been really busy because of the holiday season, but that's not really true. Sure works been a little busier than normal but really I've just been sleepy.

I have started on my Monster project again. I've recorded voice over, edited it and cut in and now I'm going to redo it. Ehhh.....it just sounded too NPRish. And I've started to gather sound effects, so it should come together pretty quickly.

On a related note I'm going to try to do a project a month.At least something I mean how hard can it be....?

VACATION!!!!

So...um..yeah I didn't meet my deadline of Nov. 6 and I'm getting on a plane at 5am to fly to Mexico.   I did come up with a new way to light some stuff that looked to be a pain in the arse.  Normally to make something a different color, such as a monster's eyes,  I would cover the whole piece of glass with a colored gel, then cut out the part to be a different color.  Then on the cut out  a piece of colored gel is taped, red eyes for example.
But not any more.  By cutting a hole in a piece of color plastic and placing it between the light and the glass, I can line the hole in the plastic up with the hole in the cut out. It's the same effect with less waste and more reusable. So that'll make things easier. But now I'm going to Mexico.
