man, i need to not use green and grey brown for my sketches. XD they’re starting to all look the same these days.

So I’ve been drawing robots:

Drawing robots is fun. I’ve not cut loose and drawn like this in a while, its good to dust off the ol’ tablet now and then and do some stuff.

So a couple weeks ago ( months maybe? my ability to judge time seemingly ended when I moved to the big apple ) I got it into my head that i should make another Diablo/ RO game. Robot game was born.

Here are some initial sketches I did.

I don’t believe in scanners, only Bacon Jesus.

Made some quick orthos:

Brought it into flash and did some animatin.

So now that that was done, I went about making the engine. I’ve done a lot of papervision work, so I decided to try out Away3D this time. I must say that overall im very pleased with Away3D.

Here are some of my initial Engine tests:

.

So after I figured out how Away3D does things, implemented some simple displacement on the ground, and casted a few rays into the ground, I was ready to bring the robots back into the mix.

And thus, Robot prototype 01 was forged from the fires of my bowels.

Here is the current version, Prototype 02C ( the C stands for chocolate ) The project is somewhat on hold now, as the man saw fit to give me real work to do again. For shame.

Dicking around, and let me tell you, dicks are one thing I’m not lacking.

.

donno why, just did.

So, as I am at work, or thinking about work, most of the time. I keep a “doodle” FLA on my desktop. Every time I need 10 minutes i sketch something with the ol tablet. Here would be some of the more presentable ones.

bunnysuits are always awesome.

I suppose this is a battle ostrage.

These are some characters I planned to use at one point in something or other…

What would doodling be without drawing the anime ladies? Better? You’re probably right, but nonetheless it must be done.

So I started playin around with chronos again, looks like Ford’s got a new build of the song so Id like to kick off a new render of the visualization. Some WIP shots.

So still workin, I think im going to change the colors some more. Definatley not there yet.  Should have a render up reletivley soon.

Hah! Looks like EcoHero was mentioned on the FWA a lil bit. Apparently Ayaka had submitted this guy there half-drunk.  *_* It’s also submitted to the adobe awards. We’ll see how that goes. A little ego boost pour moi!

Wow, Ali just sent me this, amazing…

So I was cleaning out my RIT CIAS server because of the move, and sumbled across this gem. A little over a year ago I took a MAYA class because I was bored. What better reason, no?

Here was le result:

I’m not usually up for high poly modeling, but this guy was pretty fun to make.
