The New Face of Oppression... isn't it cute?

Hey All,
I had an idea for a character that would work perfectly for my drone chase shot, and so I spent the last two days building and rigging him.

Presenting: V.L.A.D. (Vagabond Location and Acquisition Drone)

The Semi-Finals

Here's the semi-final for the wrestling shot. It still needs some love, but it's almost there :D

I'll have the drone shot up soon as well.

Thanks for looking!

Mexican Wras'ling!

Hey Ya!
I'll be posting my rendered final shot for the Drone Escape soon, but I'll first need to change some things around. In the meantime, here's my first blocking pass on my next assignment. If you couldn't guess... the little one's me...

Thanks for stopping by!

Wheeeew! That was a long night :D But it's finally finished: the first pass blocking of the Drone Escape.

Hope you enjoy it! It was a lot of fun to make, and a really great exercise! Now on to second pass blocking!!!

Happy Halloween!

I didn't make a costume this year, so to make up for it, I put an oven door behind the secretary's desk, along with this delicious recipe:

Sega Employee, a la carte

"3-Time Bake-Your-Employee Contest Winning Recipe!"

Ingredients:
5-7 Strategically-placed buckets of candy
At least 5 dumb employees (12-15 if dish is prepared for party or social event)
Warm, charming atmosphere (such as candy hut or game studio)
Costume (keep 'witch' identity secret at ALL COSTS)
Candy Bar (or fruit-flavored substitute if craving 'Alexis')
8 (six inch) Carrots

Directions:

1. Pre-fatten dumb employees over the course of a month or two prior to event. (Use candy buckets)

2. Get employees accustomed to standing near oven door.

-idea: "Hey Brenton, come watch this hilarious YouTube video I've found..."

3. Keep employees used to seeing your face. Perch near elevator or entryway (or just wander halls randomly talking to people).

4. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) 5 hours prior to event.

5. 3 hours prior to event, hang candy bar in front of oven door (use fishing line -- they'll think it's floating by magic... tee hee!)

6. When employee nears oven door, pop out from under desk and boot them into oven.

7. Repeat steps 6-7 as many times as necessary to fill oven with yummy fattened employees.

8. Bake 2.5 hours.

9. Caution: will be hot! Let cool at least 20 mins.

10. Carrots are for flavor.

11. Enjoy!

Drone Escape, thus far

Ok, so it's still early on, in fact this isn't even completely the first pass of blocking, and there are no drones yet (besides that inexplicable tiny one floating screen left). Thanks for looking! Trav

Golden Axe Reel

Wooot!

Just finished up stringing together some of my favorite work I did on Golden Axe: Beast Rider.

Feel free to call me out on any lousiness you see -- it'll feel good to say "HA! Don't care... not fixing!"
