Now at some point this week I will start sorting bits and pieces out for my third year Animation (I mean we have all summer but I thought I better make a start) which I believe will entail me to start writing up a story, etc. Anyway I will post information on that project in it's own personel Blog on Word Press (so my Tutour can view it and not get bombarded by stuff she really doesnt need to read like the first paragraph for example.... or even Shit, Bolloks Bastard I mean did you really want to read that?
Although I have'nt done any work for this project those of you who know me will know that I have been attempting to create a comic book seires about a man from 1950s America brought back to life to fight monsters and baddies in 21st century England. The character was a skeleton in a black slim suit simply called Smith, but unfortunately the character design was too similar to an already exsisting character; Skullduggery Pleasant. Now I was quite disappointed by this as I felt I put so many ideas into this story and I thought it was over because no matter how much diferent the characters were they still had a very similar appearance. So finally Smith has gone through a slight redesign. One that will hopefully distinguish him as a very different character.
Now the original design is on the left and the new design is on the right. I may have been influenced by Nightmare Before Christmas' Jack Skellington and DC Comics Dead Man but I don't really know as well I did the first drawing on a back of a receipt at work so... Anyway he has become more of a living corpse than a skeleton and I have now started creating all the recurring characters using my Cintiq Screen Tablet so it should be good practice!
But apart from that not much has happened a couple of friends and I have just been drinking and playing old videogames like Streets of Rage, original Super Mario Bros, Mega Bomber man and Road Avenger on the Mega CD. Also I gave a cartoon that I heard of and have seen parts of a go. The show is called Venture Bros and I love it! Granted 
it isnt for everyone, it's basically a spoof of old adventure cartoons like Jonny Quest and there are also alot of super hero and comic book refrences so if your into all of this then you'll be fine. However I got my friend Chris into it. Sure sometimes he doesnt get it but hey neither do I sometimes. Well I knew of this show since I went to Newyork as we went to the studio (thanks to my friend Alex who was a massive fan) but I didnt have a clue about the show. Now nearly a year and a half later I now own season 1 on DVD and season 2 as files from iTunes. Well anyway I recomend it...
