I don’t understand fishing metaphors!

Thanks for the encouragement guys. :) Much to my own shock, I am back at Ringling! Yeah, I could’ve posted to let everyone know sooner, but I thought I’d wait until I had something to show.

Thesis time has begun. The first three weeks of the semester were devoted to character modeling.

Here is the baker.

Photoshop makes my baker look like poo.

And here is the little visitor who disrupts his work.

This is why you should keep your windows shut at night.

Still making minor adjustments to each, but they’re coming along. Soon I will post the kitchen! (Which also needs a bit more work, ha ha…)

Thesis is keeping me busy – there never seems to be time for a break! But I do manage to take one now and then.

Friday I went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Sony Pictures Animation was wrapping up this movie while I was there this summer. I caught some clips during dailies and I’ve been anxious to see the film in its entirety. Let me say, it does not disappoint! Cloudy is a never-ending barrage of gags, but somehow you never get tired of laughing. If you haven’t seen it yet, then go! And take your kids – if you don’t have kids, take someone else’s!

And now it’s back to work. Blendshapes and layout due in four weeks. So much to do!

    I haven’t seen your baker character. He is so cool! I like the way his shoulders up and doesn’t have a neck or.. is he? :) I really gotta watch Cloudy this weekend, I can’t wait to see it!

    Verdy Niice character design Nilah. You’re so talented. You know I was gonna skip Cloudy, but I might go see it now. It just didn’t look interesting to me, be now I may have to give it a chance since you have “insider information” ;)
