moving.jpg The Smars Unlimited blog has officially moved. I’ve been having some problems with spam comments on my post…one spanning a whopping 1000 comments…about VIAGRA! Even after killing all the links and removing all the comments within a weeks time I had a new 300+ …So, I’ve move to Live Journal. HERE. Where all future post [...]

Animation: past, present, future

inspired.jpg I love being a member of ASIFA. It makes me feel a funny sort of special feeling. It’s hard to describe. It’s like being invited to join the knights of the round table, except without all the knights, round tables, betrayal and quest for the holy grail. So, I guess it’s not like that then, [...]

going mental

losingit.jpg Hmm. yaeh. I think…I think, I might be losing my mind. I’m not sure exactly what it is that is causing it, but after some long and serious thought on the matter I deduced that school is most likely the primary cause of it. Well, I won’t put all the blame on school… I’ll put [...]

ZUH!? ‘08

ZUH08.jpg Well, it would seem Mr. Garry Trudeau of Doonesbury fame was right. Yep. Obama is the next Pres. and to think I voted for Lord Voldemort. “sigh” that was a joke. It doesn’t matter who I voted for, I’m more focused on the fact that history has been made. doonesbury_panel_225.jpg First with Obama actually representing the Dems [...]

Because I have to render out several frames in an animation of a car driving through a super curvy swervey park , in the middle of a super detailed cityscape, WITH a sky! GASP! Now, to [...]

AWA 14 2008

awa14.jpg Anime…hmm… what can be said about anime, that I have not said before. Well, I will say this… Anime/Manga are like the Punk Rock of the animation/comic book world. Respectively.

24NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC2_100p.jpg So, the end of another quarter is rapidly approaching, and I for one can NOT wait. I have so much animating that I want to do, that with school in the way (yes, it is all obese and blocking my sunlight) I can’t get any of it done. On top of that I’m totally HATING [...]

ZOO!

WOO HOO, ROAD TRIP… oh, wait.. No, no… Zoo Trip. pandasoot01.jpg Every so many quarters the students of the animation major collect at the Atlanta Zoo, and draw the hell out of pitiful caged up exotic animals. It’s kinda’ sad. I mean, I may be a vegan, and I’m no bleeding heart when it comes to animals. [...]

meatpic01.jpg No, don’t let the name of this post fool you…I’m just putting up some more animation and a new picture that I colored using my Sanoma-5/6. I’m really trying to get my digital ink and paint skills up to par with some of my fellow students. Some of these guys draw with tablets like they [...]

lypsincpic01_04.jpg Last week I completed my Lip sync project in animation IV. For the most part I really like the way it turned out. I spent all weekend on it, but I’m not very good with a graphics tablet yet. My lines are a bit scratchy, but I think I was able to work in some [...]
