Confuzzled Report 2011

In spite of whatever crap has been going through my head in recent weeks, I enjoyed my time at Confuzzled and hanging around with my friends there was helpful for me ^^.

The earnings I made from the Dealer's Den and Art Show helped cover some of my expenses and I also enjoyed the Wikifur Pub Quiz where my team finished in a very close second place this year! The fursuit parade was also quite amusing, especially when they went along the street and the reactions from the people in cars passing by!

That said, the Pawpet Show was a little anti-climatic - not sure why but the story just wasn't as polished as last year's - but it was still fun nonetheless :) I also played a little bass on the open mic night and considering it was my first musical public performance in nearly two years I really can't complain about how it went.

Thank you everybody and I hope we'll meet up again next time!

Art CD

Here is the cover art for the art CDs I am selling at Confuzzled this year! Looking forward to it :)

Carlisle United

To commemorate Carlisle United (my favourite English football league side) winning the Johnstone's Paint Trophy for the a couple of days ago, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to draw the club's mascot, Olga The Fox. Interestingly enough, most sources state Olga to be male, yet he has a girls name!

Update

Got plans for art CDs for this year's Confuzzled! I just have to decide how I'm going to put them together.

Bigger Fish To Fly

Here is my new animated short 'Bigger Fish To Fly'. I've worked a lot of weeks on this thing and I figure that parts of it will be ideal for a future showreel :)

Animation screenshots

I am progressing nicely with my latest animated short, tentatively titled 'Bigger Fish To Fly'. It will probably stay as the title, but I typically don't like to give anything away till it is finished. Currently I have now animated over 1 minute and 50 seconds; that said, I am now pretty much half way through the animating process now so I'm hoping to get it finished by the end of March or beginning of April, providing I maintain this progress I'm making just now.

For now, here are several preview images of what you can expect, without me giving much away ^^.

Latest backgrounds

Here are several backgrounds that I am working on for my next planned animation. Not worked on it in over a month, so it is good to get back and doing it again!

This background below I have just completed... I might do a 'dusk' version at some point.

And these two backgrounds below were finished last month.

 

Still aiming to finish the animation sometime this Spring, but that is not something I can promise.
