Wow, blog… long time, no see! It has been a whirlwind of adventures since last I checked in!

The later half of 2013 had been a busy time at my part time job which, I am sad to say, no longer exists. But I do have to say that working at a small toy store brought out my fun side quite well and has shown me the best and worst of sociological trends in parenting and how adults treat children. Which is a topic for another day….

Anyway, in my off time, I have been trying to maintain, even improving, on my animation skills. I found a few lists online suggesting what kind of actions an animator should work on. I compiled them and started to mix and match actions and scenarios, working on several at a time. With this latest exercise, I went with standing up, sitting down, and changing emotions.

It was an interesting exercise. Something new, something challenging. I will definitely partake in more of these.

In the lines of doing more of things, I’m hoping that this year I can expand and solidify my knowledge on processes within the animation pipeline that I did not get a chance to fully explore like texturing and modeling… things I should know how to do and do them pretty well.

And with that, I leave with a reworked demo reel because deep down… I still want to do animation and I am going to still persist in my life quest.
