Getting Back To It

*Sigh* Guys, I'm horrible at keeping up with things, like this blog for instance! I ended up not posting anything about CTNx and have not made a post since.  Well long story short, I loved CTNx, all the amazing people I had the pleasure of meeting, and California itself because it was beautiful there!

So now for what I've been doing since my last post!  I have to tell you guys I hit a point in these last few months where I was just mad at myself every day because I wasn't able to get a job doing something I don't hate and I wasn't animating.  I thought about what I want to end up doing with my career and honestly, I have come to the conclusion that I don't really care where specifically I end up as long as I'm animating.  I also realized that I need to work on my ability to motivate myself to work on something every day because I am not that great in that area at the moment.  Which brings me to my next topic!

I have started taking game animation classes at iAnimate.net!  I'm actually really enjoying it and my teacher is pretty great.  His name is Jason Shum and this is his work http://www.jasonshum.com/. Jason has been an awesome teacher so far and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the semester!

Our first class was two weeks ago and so far I've had to create idle animation poses and then an idle animation.  Here are the poses I created...





From these poses we had to choose on to turn into a basic idle animation or a combat animation, depending on the pose.  I'm not going to post my idle animation in this blog post however because I am not too happy with it at the moment.  You'll just have to anxiously await my next blog post!

So currently I still don't love where I work, but hey at least I'm animating again!

Also, I am going to attend CTNx again this year and have purchased my ticket! Woohoo!
