Squish Squash - Updates

Just a texture update and size comparison!

Squish Squash - Round 4

Don't worry Mr. Squish, Steve liked my story very much...
He gave me great advice on character design formulas as well as great techniques to make my shots even better. I am so humbled by his praise for my camera shots that Steven Spielberg also uses. He enjoyed my story and I could not be happier with the feed back I got from one of the greats. If you don't know who Steve Hickner is, then I highly suggest you look him up. Thank you, Steve. (:


The following screen shots are of my complete model of Mr. Squish and Mama Tamata. Mama Tamata's colors will most likely change and perhaps her hair-do as well for I was told she needed to look more 'leafy.' Enjoy!

Squish Squash - Round 3

Just some modeling updates. I have some of Mama Tamata, too, but she has no eye-lids therefore she is rather frightening right now so I will leave her out.

But here is Mr. Squish!
He has no hands yet because I decided to remake them.
But look at his shiny eyes! :D

I love him...

Squish Squash - Round 2

Here are some initial sketches of Mr. Squish. I was watching my mouse, Cookie Monster, explore her habitat and groom herself, so I couldn't help but draw some inspiration pieces of Mr. Squish. He is a warm blooded critter who looks like a reptilian of sorts, but acts more like a rodent.

I started to model Mr. Squish's head in Maya today!
I am sooo excited, I can't wait to see him move...
(these are just rough, rough, rough beginning by the way... I will post the complete and finished model once it is ready!)

And here we have an animatic with music for your viewing pleasure!
It's a little different from the boards in the last post and there will still be tweaks to the shots as I go along. Enjoy!

Just Like Me! Mostly...

The sun just came out and I feel good.
Much better than yesterday, oh man, what a horrible night's rest....

So as a little present, here is a caricature of myself, in 3D.
With a little movie.
Enjoy.

(Above) A shout out to my boy on my shirt, if you can see it.
The tree suddenly turned white and chrome like. Strange....

Sherman the Humpless Camel!

Sherman the Humpless Camel is my baby.
Here's some of the first little doodles I did of him.
Poor guy... just don't call him a horse and he'll be your friend forever.
And now Sherman is in his own cartoon!

Robie the Boring Robot

Remember this little guy?
From RadioShack?
He'd eat your quarters... so much fun.

Just some modeling hooplah.
There's even a little movie of him doing a 360...
