The Darkness comes!! IT WILL DAMN US ALL!!

Oh dear. Is this the end of Bloggimus Time? Having looked at the creation of my own personal website, I've come across terapad.com. It's a web 2.0 blog site, and its seems more powerful than this old stinker. It may turn out to be another stepping stone to when I get my own site but, so far, it looks like a good place to start my image.

It's not over yet for Bloggimus Time but things look bleak. I'll shall look into this new site and see if it suits my needs. My page is at toddgledhill.terapad.com by the way. If this is truly the end though 'tis a sad day but isn't death the biggest adventure in life?

Was it not the great sage Peter Pan who said "To die would be an awfully big adventure."?

Far out, far out.

Spend an eternity... in purgatory!

As part of PDP, I'm having evaluate my working future and how I'm going about it. I think. Anyway, I had a review week at uni which offered the chance for advice from the lectures present. What I gathered from it was that I shouldn't be focusing on learning a whole new skill. At least not yet. So fibreglassing up a few 3 foot skulls is out of the question in a practical sense. The review presentation taught me that, sure, it'd get me noticed but it wouldn't display my animation skills. Which is true, especially since I haven't got the all important show-reel yet. I had a quick glance at a few animation based jobs and the most common requirement is a show-reel. Taffer.

Okay, I need to go over a few things in my own mind for a second. Hold on to your ass:

Upcoming goals:
Plan client project.
Plan research project.
A formal write up on PDP.
Consider what is needed for show-reel.
Plan a website, theme & portfolio.
Throw some weight to the end-of-year exhibition.

Right, that was a mini to do list for myself. I think I'll post an entry on here of each subject later. Currently, I'm a little tired of typing. All work and no play etc...

When I've had a suffice break I'll make a load of labels for the posts on this page too so its easy to navigate.

This is... the true meaning... of despair.

Well I was meant to post my final storyboard for my first client project here but there are formatting issues and, by god, its driving me crazy. CRAZY I TELL YOU. So I thought I'd post this so the sadistic amongst you can wallow in my despair. For everyone else, it'll be posted due haste. Currently though I've more important blogs to post. Hear me now.

Like that? That's called getting whooped.

Skull sculpting, how is that going? I hear you not asking. Well, I'm upset you didn't ask because I've done a fair bit of moving and shaking in this department. I've continued looking into molding, sculpting and designing physical objects. Of which includes stuff like fibreglass, epoxy resin amongst other things. I've lead to some conclusions of this idea after my review week presentation so read that for more information.

Wait, the skull sculpting hasn't died just yet! I give you, transcending history, a skull carved from dry oasis foam using only a penknife, my bare hands and utmost shrewdness:



TAFFERS! Well that image didn't turn out as expected. I suspect some goblins in the midst. Or Photoshop liberties on my part. Anyway, these photos taken on my mobile phone (I know, double taffer) are of the stages I went though in carving my skull. Realise this extra skill: in carving the skull the feel of the foam went right through me. Yuk! But I powered on for the good of the skull-love.

Mainly, I did it so I have a physical concept of a skull's form. The result was a caricature of a skull if anything. While I mean to be more realistic in the design, I don't want to be too medical. If you get me Bruce?

GET ME!
