Whip it good!

This is pretty much my process for doing the sketch for an animation. Probably gonna be changing a ton of stuff as I go about rendering it, cause I always do, but that's how I work. The sketch is just there as a base, nothing set in stone.

Now I'm off watching BJ Penn getting his as kicked in UFC 94 :C Fuck you GSP, fuck you. Talk to you guys later, byeezzzzz!

WHIDEE-HOEEEE!

New video, aw yeeeeaa!



Ended up with two different versions there in the end, but we chose to go with the less meaner looking one. Since this guy is goign to be hanging around in the earlier parts of the game as well, we figured we didn't want him to be too intimidating. We're saving the bad ass one for his more dangerous counter part you'll bump into later in the game though!

We had our first meeting in like 2½ months today, over a few burgers. Went great, even though a lot of stuff had to be pushed forward until next week. Still a few of the overwhelming amount of question marks got cleared out!

In other news, school seems to start out rather chillaxed. One course here at campus and one distance course. Hopefully neither of them will take extreme amounts of time and we'll be able to put most of our focus on Grindea! Pumped!

Now, time to sleep. Somehow, I've manged to end up with an even more brutally raped sleeping schedule than usual. Even though I actually tried (and succeeded) to fix it just a few days ago. Oh well. UFC and morning sun are the best conditions for resting anyway. Bye fags!

VIDEOOO TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMEEEEEE!

Ok, somewhat lack of updates the last few days. Been trying to fix my totally fucked up sleeping schedule with somewhat minor success. Woke up at 23:30 yesterday so, yeah.
Also, I went to the doctor the other day to check some stuff out. As always, I left just as clueless as when I got there, just a little bit poorer. Ohwell.

So! The video I've been promising is finally here! I had to rework it quite a few times, but it turned out okay in the end I guess. Still not 100% used to speaking english super fluently, but yeah!

So, yeah. If this is something you guys want more of, or if you have like any specific requests of stuff I should show or talk about, let me know in a comment or whatever.

Now, I'm either gonna try doing some more work, or go to sleep. We'll see. Later fuckerzzz!

NPCccCCCCCC heLLL

So I completed this sucker today:



Gonna keep at the NPCs for a while now, so expect more of the same tomorrow!

School starts in like a week and a half and I'm lookin forward to it! Not school it self maybe, even though it's gonna be interesting with a bunch of new teachers and shit. But mostly because the whole team will be gathered at the same place again! Vilya's been gone the entire summer, so we haven't been able to have any face to face meetings. We have a bunch of stuff to discuss and go over, so looking forward to that!
Also, I much prefer working together and not at home by my self. I focus ten times better during "office hours" and gets more shit done. So hopefully I will work just as hard, if not harder when school kicks off, as long as the teachers go easy on the reports and assignments!

Now, time for some UFC and sleep! Byeee!

LEGACY OF CANE!!!!

So today I've been busy working on NPCs for the first village in Secrets of Grindea. Been doing five sprites, all based on portraits made by Vilya. Not gonna be able to show them off just yet, as they don't have any hairdos. Reason for that is that I suck at doing hair, so I'm leaving that in the hands of Vilya.

This is one of the sprites I did that didn't really need much of a hair expertise to get right. Did a walk animation for him just now which turned out pretty cool!



I always get a bit excited when I manage to animate something I've never done before. In this case, I've never tackled a dude with a cane before. Always good to add more stuff to the animating arsenal!

More of the same stuff tomorrow probably! Now, sleeeeep!

SUCCESS!

So, after like a million tries, I actually managed to record that frickin video. I'm gonna edit it down a bit though, it turned longer than I expected. But I'll get on to that tomorrow or something.

Not gonna leave you totally empty handed. Here's a some animations I did a few days ago:

Yes, it's a jumping bag. With a face. He's got a pretty major role in the game, but I'll talk more about that laterrrzz. Now, I'm gonna catch some sleep and watch some UFC. Byyyeeeeeeee!

TWO HANDED WEAPONS!?!? SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!1

So at the moment, I'm workin on some attack animations for our two handed weapons. If you're anything like me, you know that it's super gay to use one handed weapons. Unless it's like some super cool mace or something. But yeah, two handed all the way!
I've added the one handed animation as well so you guys can see the difference in speed.

So yeah. Weapons. We haven't decided 100% on all the different weapon types we want to include yet. So far we only have one handed and two handed, which includes swords, axes, maces etc. There were some early talk about bows and dual wielding, but time will tell what we go for!

Planning on giving the video another go tomorrow. Hopefully it will not turn to shit this time!

Now, I'm going to sleeeeeeep! Tomorrows gonna be pretty sweet. Finals in ASUS Summer 2011 (cs event) plus UFC live 5! There's gonna be a few pretty sweet matches, my bet for fight of the night goes to Miller vs Henderson! But now, sl33p. Night fags!
