Scetch of the day

Ok, so I just dicked around for roughly 30 minutes, and this is what I got starting from a sphere. Its amazing how fast you get rusty when you dont do this regularly enough. I think I'm going to try to do a quick 30 min - 1 hour sculpt on a quasi daily basis, and put them up here. The original idea with starting this blog was to have somewhere to display my portfolio pieces, but after a lot of thought (totally like 3 minutes) I think I'm actually going to keep this blog more casual. That way I can both keep the updates more regular as well as not having to censor what I say in case I have to direct a future employer or something over here.
I have an empty domain laying around somewhere, so as soon as I get the time to re-learn Dreamweaver, I'll put up a fancier display solution there.

Peace

El Slowpoko

Ok, so its been a while. I've got no excuse. No wait, I actually do this time! So, the aforementioned gig I spent way to much time trying to land went the way of the dodo when the company in question hit a rough patch. I then decided to accept the offer I got from a company I freelanced for over the summer, and thats where I've basically been living for the past 3 weeks. Thats the charm of arriving on the day of a deadline for a project that needs at least another week of work.

I'm not going to divulge the name of the company, so I get to complain about my job on this blog without getting sacked in the process. What I can say, is that they do a lot of work for the offshore oil industry, like real-time 3D simulations and fancypants techy stuff like that. Me and this other guy on the other hand, do 3D video projects, like illustrational videos for getting a customers investors interested enough in a project to whip out their sacks (no, of money, you freakin pervert).
The projects havent been too mindblowingly exciting this far, but at the moment I'm working on a music video. That involves animation (fun) and a lot of tracking (please shoot me).

The good news is that you'll never get to see that video, as one of the lead singer chicks had a clause in her contract that it would never end up on the interwebs. Yeah, good luck with that one. We all know the unviersal rule of shit you dont want anyone to ever see; its going on youtube next to Paris' private adult excersize tapes.

So I havent had the time to really do any sculpts the past weeks, but if time and workload allows it, I'll be throwing some stuff on here some time this week. No promises though. Its not like you're paying for this shit.
