Well I have at least started the script of my comic, its just a rough draft for now. I am also going to work along side a long time friend of mine, Fraser Milligan, to help with The Traveller series and get it up onto a blog or website.
I have also been rather unsuccessful with job opportunities and even interviews which can really put you in a downer but I am not going to let it stop me, I am going to keep trying, sending CV's out and focus more on drawing, animating and designing. I'll have a look at my options of Postgrads as well if nothing bites and look at other job opportunities besides film, animation and design studios because well I have a family to feed and a roof to keep over their heads so it's important that I try my best.
I suppose this post is more of a monologue but also to keep you my ever persistent and loving readers an update of what's up.

See You In The Future

Watching The Snail Speed Past Me!!
Things have been a little slow lately with drawing and creating ideas, I just can't seem to bring myself to sit and draw or do a wee animation . Which is bringing me down a bit because I really don't want to lose my skill and have to work up to the level I am at right now. I have been mostly thinking about ideas than actually making them. There is an idea I have had for a while and I call it "The Traveller" which I would like to make a script for first and then create it in comic book forum because that is how I see it and its an area I am interested in attempting.
"The Traveller" is about a young man who's father has just died of old age and never completed his map of the land so the young man takes the map and continues to draw and create the map in honour of his father sending him on an adventure into unknown lands, cities and even skies! Meeting new people and creatures, good and bad and getting himself caught up in an event that could change the world for better or worse!
I want to make it a fantasy adventure like Lord of the Rings mixed with steampunk and mythology. In my head it looks awesome and original but its trying to create and portray what I see that's going to be the hard part.
I am a big fan of comics. I mostly get Star Wars form Dark Horse because I am a big Star Wars fan but I also like Batman and I am starting to get a liking for Superman because of Man of Steel, which ROCKED!! by the way. There is also a comic I found called Atomic Robo which is hilarious and the artwork is really nice. Also can't forget Spawn, Spawn is awesome, whenever I see the full extent of his cape/robe it just looks sooo cool but equally a pain in the neck to draw and colour :) My comic collection is small at the moment but trust me it will grow :)
On a different note I did do two wee animations for a friend for his summer kids club last week. One was done in After Effects, it was a simple text animation where the words would zoom quickly into view with a light swipe across the last word, it was called "Richards Ridiculous Rounds of RANDOMNESSSSSSS!" It was quite fun to make and I learned a few new things about After Effects :) The second animation was also simple. I made a cartoon sun do its natural sunny thing with the odd object, astronaut, UFO fly/float by and a small comet fly towards the screen then turn and burn up in the face of the sun. I enjoyed making it, made it in about a day and a half I think just need to be coming up with my own stuff even its a bouncing ball or walk cycle or a gnome being eaten by a fish :)
Anyhooo.............COME ON ANDY!!! (for those of you following Wimbledon)
God Bless
See you in the future and I promise to have some drawing or a script or something done as soon as I can.
