Sock Horse w.i.p

Just another quick post to try and get in the habit of updating this bad boy. A few screens of my current task; modelling the sock horse character for UnderWar. (It's still low-res, mirrored, proxy geometry, so there's a bit of a seam down his back for now)

Assorted Work - I did various bits and pieces for other films from this years degree show. All the films, regardless of my involvement or not, are worth a watch!

Woo! Blog!

I had intended for the first post on here to be my finished shiny animatic for Underwar, but after fighting with smedge for the past 4 hours; it's only starting to render now and so won't be finished till the wee hours, and I've put off posting something on here for long enough. Anyway, here it is! My first post - Just a few screens of the sock troll character from concept art, to finished maya rig.
