Lewis things

Oh Hai everybody.

It has been a while since my last confessio.........er, i mean blog, sorry for the delay but life
has been throwing some mean curve balls my way lately.

I have done a little animating, not as much as i would have liked to, or need to but ill take some as opposed to none. I have a walk cycle for Lewis (minus arms and head currently), also i have animated the keys for when Lewis bends down to pick up a light bulb, just need to add a couple inbetweens. I have also animated Lewis's head from posterior view as he is looking out to the ocean, not much happening there, still trying to figure out what else i can make him do in this shot, considering its just his head moving, perhaps that is enough? I have done a meagre attempt at Lewis sighing, which looks bloody ridiculous but the fundamentals are there to work with. I had a chat with Ed about this and he helped me understand what the arms and hands could be doing to make this sigh not look so bomby.
Last but not least i have done some more animation tests for the paint on glass, Jack and I went through a few experiments and came up with some nice results. Im still thinking of diluting the paint a hell of a lot more (Jack i know you love thick paint), i just think super watery water colours look like water.................say that ten times fast.
The next two weeks are also going to be crazy, im hoping (fingers crossed and praying to all gods out there) that i can get the animation done by the end of the holidays, if not then i fear i may go insane(yes yes even more so).
Oh one last thing, i have drawn up the light house and it comes apart like a cracked egg, to reveal the broken foundations left behind when it takes off. I like it, i still want to roughen up the edges of the bricks a little but im happy with how it is looking. Still have to do the weather vein and tweak a few things etc etc.
Its late and i will have to post visuals for you all on monday, as i am working the weekend and then i have to rush to my sisters hens day/night (good grief, what timing).
Anyways, just touching base, hope you all have a lovely holiday and message me if you need me etc. Lewis umbrella thrown in there also.
