Where has Shannon been?

I've managed to drop the ball hardcore on this, between school, packing for my eventual moving back in with the parents and getting a new job. I have been working on some things, but it's more on the every-3-days schedule instead of daily >_>

Here's some doodles from a comic I've been working on for a while! These are all directly scanned from my sketch book, eventually I'll get around to cleaning them up with Photoshop...

Secretly tiny

It's a jellyfish onion...onion jellyfish...thing. Yep. :\

One of my most successful so far, this is the front steps of the Duomo in Florence.

this is where my thesis is...red clay, black drawing on white slip, pot cross sections defining the frames of my drawings...I was trying to do insides and outsides of pots, but I'm more strongly pulled to just drawing on the insides. I'm definitely having trouble keeping it uniform throughout my many pieces, so I hope that will be okay in the final install.

More Legos

Project approved. I'm finishing the ground plane with it's bushes and rocks and then I start shooting. 4 weeks to do this sucker. Panic mode has begun. Any readability issues?

Futility in Motion

Poetry? Yeah I do that sometimes, sorry...

It should maybe be called Futility of Motion but whatever. Text after the break

Lego characters

A couple lego characters I made for my stop motion. I shot the health bar yesterday morning, but I still need more legos to finish up the background before I start shooting.

Rough Game Over Animatic

This is really rough, but I don't have time to plan much :/ I think some parts in the middle might be a little too fast maybe? Is there anything that's too confusing or not working?

How to use /cut

Hi guys.
Just wanted to give you a heads up, I know some of you are aware of how to use cuts, but it's a good thing to know. Please use a cut if you're posting a lot of text, larger videos or longer embeded media files, more than two or three images, etc.

Cuts will show as a link on your post that will send the reader to the full blog entry. It cuts down on lag and slow loading times on the blog, and post flooding.

Please use: < !--more-- > (no spaces when you add) in the HTML post section of your update, before the content that you want to cut, it will automatically add in the link for the full entry.

Thank you-

Reels

I'm doing resume-y things, so all I have to show atm is demo reels. Here's my general one. Whatcha think?

This one is more of an FX, and less of a modeling one.

Rat/Preying Mantis thing

I've been in a bad mmod and watching the syfy channel lately, so here's a a rat/preying mantis thing. :-)

I don't really like the head. I think I might change it to something more insect-like. Here's part of the under-drawing I did.
