The Ebullient Toadstool : Ending Stage 03
This is the ending so far. Next, he runs after the skateboard to his next adventure leaving a cloud of dust to disperse behind him :)
The Ebullient Toadstool : Ending Stage 01
Here are the first 30 drawings of the ending. I made sure to scan these in and check them before I used up any more paper. 20 of the 30 are fine, though the head turn is too fast, as shown in the clip below, now I can re-draw them knowing exactly what needs doing.

The Ebullient Toadstool @ Phil
I'm finishing off The Ebullient Toadstool, it shouldn't take long and I'm sure somebody will have some paper they don't need now. So I've chopped off the squiggly line at the beginning and here is an idea for the ending.
After the wiggle, a skateboard appears and zooms past him, he watches it, and as it goes off screen he jumps up with excitement and perhaps a WOOHOO and chases after it. Opinion?

Gub : Maya Modelling Progress 01
After my shortage of knowledge with ZBrush at the moment I decided to try modelling Gub in Maya, this is how my afternoon and evening turned out :)

Very happy, this is only using knowledge of the software I already have. I will use tutorials when I get to the stages I'm quite rusty with.
Gub : ZBrush Modelling Problems
I've come across some problems with the mesh of Gub, and I don't know enough about ZBrush to fix these yet, so this is where she will stay while I do some more tutorials and hopefully I'll then know how to proceed :)

Gub : Revisiting Project 101
For some time I've really wanted to revisit my character creation from Project 101, the summer project before the start of this course.
Today I made time to start reviving 'Gub' :)
