Between the Semester Madness and Elvis Count Chula!

So the first semester of my senior year at PCA&D has ended. It was really short yet really long and I feel that a lot of good work was created. As well as more of a style being formed. The end of the semester means I have less than 30 days to complete my goal of at least 4 more shots for my thesis. I also have graduate school demo reel and portfolio to piece together and submit before the next semester starts. Grad school is a little scary but even Hasboro Studio wants animators to have a Graduate Degree, and formal animation studies will be really what I need. PCA&D has some amazing professors with awesome work, but I am going for illustration degree and I want more technical and artistic guidance from actual animators.

Well I think this'll be my last post of the year (or atleast til after Christmas) since I won't have internet where I am spending my Christmas holiday. To leave you off I'm going to show off a fun character sheet of Bubbah Chula. Which was a project from my humorous illustration class. My specific assignment was to redesign Count Chula. So I decide that he saw an Elvis impersonator in Vegas and wanted to also be like The King. Also a different take on the "shiny vampire".

Ok, so here we good decent quality movie with sound.

The semester is wrapping up I'm stealing the computer labs to render work that I've been fixing/ trying to fix since Thanksgiving times. Which is cool to feel like the supreme ruler of the computer lab. Also played with my Count Chula for my Humorous Illustration class. I'm not sure where to go with it anymore so I think it might be done. I just gotta work more on my thesis since that's something I can't really take a break on, well except for when I'm working on other work, but it's still my number one priority. I do also have to start scanning life drawings before the semester is over so that i can't not have an under construction raccoon on portfolio anymore.

Semester is wrapping up pretty fast and I think this is the first semester I don't have a real test to worry about. I have projects and papers but not art history or whatever final to worry about on top of that. I'll try to get another blog postin' in before I go away during break and I lack internet.

Re-Edit:: So I figured out that embedding from YouTube Healine was wording about.
