New Character

So with a little free time that I had I went back to an old character and updated him. I added some more edge loops to his face so that I can have better brows and also actual lids instead of half spheres. I have a good amount of blenshapes on his brows, eyes and facial hair. I'm going to be doing a little test in the future. Look out for it! Here is a turntable of Bob. Werd

Life is complete

They just announced gears of war 2. My life is now complete.

Wow

Ok this dude is sick. I'm not a huge opera fan but I can really appreciate what he's done. You would never guess that would come out of his face. Watch him rock it. On the animation side of things, watch the women and see how you can really read how she feels at that moment. Roughly around 1:57 time. As soon as we cut to her she exhales and then takes in a breath slowly. You can see that she is really touched by his voice. She begins to blink a lot more then normal because she is starting to tear up. If you really analyze video reference it will give you some spice to add to your animations. I think I'm going to choose a video every week or so and break it down here on my blog. I think it will help my analytical skills when I animate a shot. I also think it will be fun to really tear apart an actors performance. Enjoy!

Great facial reference

Although most of these pictures are photoshoped, it's still awesome facial poses. You really get a sense of what's going on in the photo. A lot of them are just to be silly but some have a genuine feeling to them. Enjoy

Updated site a little

You may have noticed a little update to the site. It's a small change because I don't have the time for a complete redesign. I will completely redesign the site one day :P
