Sorry for the lack of posts lately, Been really busy, So much has been happening lately, Recently became an My sis became a mother the other day, so I'm an uncle Yay. I'm also off to Scotland 2moro for an Interview at Ink Digital. I'll be doing a 2 day inbetweening test for Sylvain Chomet's new film. Special thanks to Ken Anderson for letting me know about it. I'm so nervous. Anyway, I'll just post my latest sketches and updtate when I get back. Wish me Luck
UPDATE: I wanted to talk about the direction of my work, trying to draw things other than people. I'm trying to expand my knowlege on perspective etc, I'll talk about that on the next post. As for the other business, I came back from Scotland yesterday morning. Did a 2 day test which looked easy but was much harder than it seemed In those 2 days I learnt a lot and I have a better appreciation for the hard work that goes into making a feature. Everyone at Ink was really supportive and helpful and was prepared to lend a hand when I was confused. I gave it my all people and.......I got an offer :) Come Mid Jan, I will be moving to Dundee, Scotland for 1 year to work on the Illusionist as an inbetweener. I'll have a two month trial period so I can get used to the style. I have a lot of work to do, but this is a dream come true for me so I will not take it lightly. I'll make sure I keep fighting for this and learn lots. On the downside I don't know if I can work on my short anymore which I'm not too happy about, I'll see how it goes. Just wanna thank everyone for their help and support so far, I'll do my very best not to let you down.
And Again....
Wes
