Got a Head, LoL

Guess who I bought?

Twisted Fate

Obviously a champion based on Gambit.  Cool!

In other news, Corki isnt as good as I thought.  Same with Fiora, unless you got someone playing who knows exactly what's going on.

Minions

This was originally inspired when I saw the first Despicable Me in San Francisco during Animation Mentor graduation.  I thought, wow!  It'd be great to create a simple character somewhere between those minions and the bishop rig I've been animating with.  Should only take a week.  Two tops!

Almost 3 years later, my beta minion rig "chuyt".  Cantonese for pawn.  In the Chinese Chess context.

 Hey!

Hardest part was leg deformations (cause, chubby stumps) and the hands.  Second hardest part was encountering rig breaking WTFs and to keep going and not crying in despair.

Posing test

Single Whip

So, now what?

Let's get animating!

PS.  I am well aware of the artistic liberties I am taking.  Now is not the time to "correct" Tai Chi poses and Chinese transliteration.

Dragoncall

So I don't know the reason why the dragons got called out.

Be there fire breathers at work?

What I can tell you it has nothing to do with almost getting busted by the boss-man at work for doodling during company time.

Thank's buddy...

Kara Zor-El

Hid at my desk drawing this at work.  Got a blast from the past shading with a mechanical pencil.  Little trouble thinking differently from the usual cross hatching and line work (its been a while), but I am fairly satisfied with it.

Maid of Might

Philosophical question.  Is the iconic chain breaking image only for Superman?  Or is it also valid for the Supergirl?

I'm still mad at her new costume.  I would have been happier if they just adopted Laura's plain jane costume for Smallville.

Mike Turner FTW

LoG

I had a dream once.

That I'd be able to stream through a dungeon on my Nexus 7.  Enter Legend of Grimrock.  I fired it up and got even more excited when I found out that I can import my own character portraits.  So after many lunches with the travel sketchbook, I finally scanned them in.

The Tank

The Rogue

The Chick

The Squishy

Looking colour them up but, I'm not entirely sure where that's going to go.  As for the game itself, I, well, never touched it again.  XCOM got in the way.

Pencil Glaze

Buddy finally coated the controller I pencilled.  Check it out:

Still works after reassembly.  I think?

I wish there was less glare reflecting off.  On second thought, it makes sense.  The light coming coming out of the high-beams.  LOL!  haha.  It was a woman who came up with that one.  No, really...

Flip Flop

Following up my household encounter with buddy who wanted me to switch electrical companies, the very next day a rep from Energy Directly starts knocking on my door.  I have no doubt they sent a pretty girl to reverse the all the people deceived into switching providers to save 3.5 cents a year.

It's official.  I think it is infinitely more rude to ring peoples doorbell than hearing your door chimes and not answering.  Get off my property!

Speaking of getting off my property, I have a story to tell.  But actually, let's switch gears.  Why?  I had an unconventional guest in my house for dinner.  There was an interesting turn of events, but I have to process first.  Anyways,

Kurt Wagner.

Also known as The Amazing Nightcrawler!

Unfortunately, that has nothing to do with what's coming next.  Anyways.

I was thinking about my health and the susceptible heart I have.  I've been trying to get more exercise and lost a little weight, but I wonder if that's enough.  If, inevitably, I'll still have to install wires into my heart like my old man.  Or for that matter, deal with a messed up digestive tract during my mid life crisis.  Wouldn't it be funny if even after eating healthy and doing my best to take care of my body, I overexert myself and my heart exploded?

I'm intoxicated (Crown Royal)
I'm out

PS. I did not open the door for the Energy Directly girl...  Cause I didn't switch anything
