Happy 2013 (crunch time is upon us)

Hi all of you fellow beings out in this great world... hope you are entering the new year healthy and happy! i know i haven't been updating, but i easily forget that people actually care if i say anything or not. so i thought, hey what the heck. It's not like i will do this all the time (add more than art to these posts) but I can at least do this every once in a while.
so first here is some art...
Here's a drawing I did of myself. don't feel like I've done one in a while.
I've really been practicing on my drawing skills, and feel like it's really paid off!




And here is an exploration drawing of Ortha. It's been a a long and frustrating road, but i feel like it's going in a good direction.

I'm just going to use the story of Ortha as a learning experience. I'm not going to try to strive for any accolades, or awards with this film (which I know everyone, including myself normally wants to strive for) but, I don't want to have that mind set with this this year. I want to finish this film, and make it the best that I can make it.
I'm a student trying to learn, and that's what I'm going to do. I'm not going to make a perfect story, I'm not going to have the best backgrounds, or character designs, or animation. but i'm going to put myself out there and do what I feel works for me as I keep testing and pushing myself....

Sorry for the left professing tangent... just really wanted to say that to the world, and to myself 
OUT LOUD!
Thank you for being a friend.

      Yeah filmmaking is harsh on the brain so every once in a while it's nice to kind reassess things, :-)

      Do you guys go by semesters?

  3. People take it upon themselves to either take a break form the film or dedicate there break to the break. i decided to do both.
