HOLY SHEET

Got quite a bit on the go at the moment.

The Caerleon project character modelling is going well, got 2 or 3 more to do and to redo Bran's head.
Not sure what I'll be doing on the project once I've finished modelling but I'm sure there'll be plenty to get done.

Kama's guitar is also going really well. I'm going to get as much done for it as possible this week as I won't be able to do much over Easter. 5 more things to do on it, they are:
1) Add Kama's name/signature to the head of the guitar.
2) Add the music style names to the balloons.
3) Resize the balloon strings.
4) Combine the model and rig it.
5) Animate the balloons and Camera.

Don't know if we're going to do the Dorito's advert. I'd like to as I have quite a good idea for it and would also like £200,000. Deadline for that is the end of April I think.

Lanny has asked me to draw his EP cover. He wants a David Firth (http://www.fat-pie.com/) style drawing of a man with a cat for a beard :D I'd love to do it and hope some time frees up for me to be able to.

Joined a group on Facebook called Keep Fox Hunting Banned. There's a competition on there to design a logo for the Fox Trust Foundation. Might give it a go. Deadline is April the first.

Had a great idea whilst having a shit the other day (sparked by the background of David Firth's feature film blog). I won't tell you what it is because it's quite abstract and hard to explain and I don't want you to know. Just thinking about how it could be implemented. Not really suitable for a game. Maybe a mixed media animation/film.

Looking to get a PC soon so I can work with Maya etc properly. Hopefully it will mean that over the summer I can have a go at making a game, possibly in Unity. I've got an idea about a crocodile that I'm building on. It'll have to be a very basic game if it's just me though.

Pete's talking about doing a mod at some point so I might/probably will join him on that. He's got a mate who did the Games Development and AI course (our sister) so should be good. Pete's trying to get me brainstorming but as you can see I've got a lot on!

I've also been developing ideas for a short animation called Dale (working title) that I want to do at some point. It started life as a character doodle I drew during one of our Games and Animation Studies lectures. Dale, the character, is based on a bus driver we had at secondary school and I'm thinking about doing a short 3D animation about a portion his life, complete with scummy westcountry accented monologue. I think I will give him a love interest based on someone I used to work with at Sainsbury's.
Going to do some drawings (possibly some storyboards) tonight and pin down the story, sequence of events and maybe some of the script so may have some pictures to post soon.

I've got Super Ninjas From Hell to work on with Steve at some point (over summer perhaps).
So far we have the title.

Also got my Sagat vs Guile pictures to get to work on.

Finally I was reading a college friend of mine's magazine website (http://www.attnmagazine.co.uk/). It's really cool and was thinking, as anyone can contribute, that I might have a go at writing something, probably games based, for it.

Bugger I'm going to be busy haha.

Thanks for reading this if you have.
BYE.
