Hooray! On thursday i saw the trailer for “Der tierisch verrueckte Bauernhof” (the german title for barnyard) in the theater, before Over the Hedge! Next i found the release date for germany. It is the 5th of October 2006.
New exciting adventures are happening to our hero, the animation dude! Curious yet? Watch the new episode “The job interview”!
I joined a sub-blog of “Die Bilderwumme”. 30 people, each showing of some illustration at his particular day of the month. I am number twenty one. You are looking at: the real Mr. Incredible!
There was this guy that i was working with at Omation. Todd Ammons. He was constantly doodleing and was hooked on buying new sketchbooks that he filled out within two weeks. I want to develop some story and characters for my own project. Inspired by Todd (and many other artists) i started my own sketchbook. I think i have 16 pages filled out yet. Probably not a mindblower, but it is for the sake of fun anyway. So here it is: klick
Time for one commercial here, or two:
Eric Walls’ Children’s book “The Harbour Light” (just ordered my copy)
Uwe Heidschoetter’s sketchbook “Augenblicke” (limited stock)
No idea what went wrong with that old gallery script thing, it just stopped working one day. So i moved the stuff to Photobucket.com. There are some new sketches in there.
If you like, check out this blog from some of our staff. There is a new sketch everyday.
I also found out that there is a new Barnyard-Webiste on nick.com that has a new trailer and an actual release date (that is earlier than what i had been told before).
Added a whole bunch of stuff. Some concepts for the game and “life” drawing stuff that i did. The speed painting guys at CGTalk really inspire me, so i will try to do some digital painting in the future as well. Despite my color weakness (red/green issue).
I will start working at Ambient Entertainment again, starting in may. The film’s title is “Urmel im Eis 2″ (a sequel, the first one is going to be released soon). Can’t wait to be employed again actually.
Here is my entry for february (participating for the first time). The file is WM9 and twice the resolution as requested for the competition.
I finally decided to put the game project on hold and focus on character animation again for now. So what you are looking at is my new character that i worked on during the couple last days. I call him “Animation dude”, he is an animator trying to get back in the biz (twinkle). Did i mention that i am looking for a job?
These are my first characters for the game. There are hopefully many more to come. Modelled in XSI.
