Works In Progress

I always love to see artists post their work in stages, from thumbnails to polished rendering and everything in between. If anyone has something they're working on, please post it here.

So, that said, I'm working on finishing up my film. It's called "Tuesday" and I have a production site: http://www.soundslikeblue.com/daybyday.htm
It's in 3D and here's where you can see the unrendered version. The textures aren't finished, and I'm in the process of doing some editing as well...like the thread says, it's a work in progress.; ▶ Reply to This

I know this is not the stage to start changing things however...; ▶ Reply to This

I like the little touches and nuances, like when Guy#2 tries to stop the soda can from crossing the line after the whole place gets trashed. And is that an urn on Guy#1's night stand?? Let me know when the final film is up!; ▶ Reply to This

Jo, I'm glad you like the subtle quirks and yes, that is an urn. I'll let everyone know when the film is finished and see how well it does in the festival circuit. I'll try to submit it to Fred, along with many others.; ▶ Reply to This

In fact that time should have been spent establishing that one was trying to sleep and the other was making noise.; ▶ Reply to This

Hey Joanna - I've got a couple of things on the go but I can't really show you anything because I'm not in charge of the job.
I can however reveal another little Boxhead and Roundhead cartoon I've just started.
I've been very busy on other projects and haven't had time to work on the film I wanted, so I started this little thing just to keep the characters in my head.

I've been sending that link out for a year now and only just now realised that you can only see it if you're logged in as me!!!!
How stupid!!!!
Anyway - you should be able to find them HERE.; ▶ Reply to This
