2014 wants and what ifs
Mood:  spacey
Now Playing: Inside Out
Topic: animation

My current job is my main focus so animation for lolz is pretty much non existant these days. I still have a lot of ideas, including a Knuckles version of "draw my life". I did however start sketching a Shadow animation a while ago. Years ago I got the idea that he should be singing the intro to "Inside Out" a song from the 90s that I forgot existed. Since people used to say Shadow was emo, I thought the lyrics suited that, a bit poetic and over dramatic. I actually like the tune more as an adult than as a kid.

Animation Planning for 2013
Now Playing: Naturally 7 - Life Goes On
Topic: animation

So I'm working freelance on this other thing due in March, but as I washed dishes today all I could do was daydream about Reala performing Rock DJ by Robbie Williams. It's 2008 all over again. I think I could do it. I can see all the shots in my head up to the chorus. So I know what needs to happen, but that's the easy part. Doing it is what takes up all the time.

Now playing...WHAM!...not really, this song takes the best elements of that song and forms a catchier song out of it.

Long Reel 2012
Now Playing: The long reel
Topic: animation

I had to throw together a montage for a job interview, or maybe I didn't but he told me to bring samples. This way I get to include part of CCDD since it's my best Sonic animation so far even though it's not done and I only show the very beginning. The Mario Pokey Dance is new. I started it yesterday. That's not finished yet either.

 

 

Jet in the Box
Now Playing: What's on Your Mind
Topic: merchandise

BTW, I did get Jet with my gift card and a coupon. Maybe he can race my old Mario Kart figure.

I stopped by Kmart today and noticed they had the Knuckles RC that I had only otherwise seen in TrU. I had forgotten that Kmart also sells Sonic figures, but when I looked for the regular ones, they weren't there anymore. Kmart recently did a big toy clearance sale, so they might have been marked and sold. I'm also working on a flickr gallery for this stuff, plus another one for the scans.

Jet the Hawk RC
Now Playing: Bad case of loving you
Topic: merchandise

It's been a while since I've seen anything remotely interesting in the Sonic merch section of Toys R Us, BUT today I saw this. I dunno if I've mentioned this before, but I like Jet. I hate his voice, but I think he looks like a bad-azz cockatoo, yeah yeah I know he's a hawk. I don't have any other RCs. The Knuckles RC is 20, while Jet is 25, but Jet is about the size of a super poser and I don't have his character yet. I need to lay off the toys, but I just might get him. Heck, at least it does something.

Doctor doctor, give me the news

Circle Circle Dot Dot
Now Playing: Circle Circle Dot Dot
Topic: animation
I had started this animation some weeks ago because I thought it would be quick and easy (er) to clean up and animate. Granted, it can be. It's just so frickin hot in this house that I don't feel like doing much of anything. I can't get cool. I have a heat rash on my neck I can't stop scratching. Anyways, this is intended (stylwise) to be a follow up to an itch sonic can't scratch. I am not doing the whole song though.

Selling Again
Now Playing: Dead Silence
Topic: merchandise

I sold most of my 3" Sonic figures already. This is mainly because when I bought these toys there wasn't much else out there. Then in time I found stuff that I wanted, like the Knux and Tails Super Posers, the large scale classic Sonic and the classic Robotnik. Instead of waiting patiently I bought the next best thing. Now I'm ready to part with my 3" Allstars Racing figures. I put them up on ebay this time instead of the TSS forum. hopefully they get sold. If not, it's okay. Now that I have them out in front of me I'm starting to like them again.

 

 

 

 

No Image Map Update Image
Now Playing: Feelin' Alright - Joe Cocker
Topic: site

Every year since maybe a couple years ago it's been evident that I don't update as often as I did in the beginning. I still have love for Sonic but just not much drawing love lately. I'm getting back into my Powerpuff phase that came before it. I still have ideas for animations and things. I will get to those when I get to those. May's almost over. I've decided there's no point in changing the homepage image this year when I've done so little. In fact, I rather like it and it will probably be there to stay.

I made this image sometime before my old computer broke down and some time in October 2011, which means the original file is lost. I did however print out a sample before sending off another printed card. This is a scan of it.

Weird fact. Some day I would like to make a Dr. Robotnik puppet.
