Here's my project idea - aside from the RSI drawings.  I had this long time idea of making an animated piece, from back during the original Cinematic times - a short video spot to a favorite song of mine - AnimositisominA, from Ministry.

Nothing too serious, just a side project. Here's some storyboards I made for myself.  It's not going to be the whole song, just the last 1/2 of it - last 1:35 minuets.  And maybe It'll be in the classic Black & White fassion of the original Cinematics in MxO - with splashes of color here and there.

Here's a taste:

I like to make all my animation stuff like it came from a real studio.  Helps me keep my sharpness up.  And drawing my original artwork on paper seems to prevent at least the loss of my originals when I have a computer meltdown, heh.

Here's some of my inspiration:

They are aso Scary!! Sentinel machines are the things of humanities nightmares!  Just like the Wachoskis invisioned.

That's how an animation studio makes a storyboard. It's where I got the template.

Ministry's "Bad Blood" is featured in the Original Matrix Soundtrack.   I'm only following the matrix theme.

I'm not going to use Kevin Fetterline music - over my dead body!

Kevin who?

Also, fantastic work DH! I'll send you my request soon too

Sorry I've been away for a bit.  I've been pretty busy training at my new job and stuff.

I also had a bit of an upset - I was in a car wreck.  It was super rainy and stormy - real slick roads and about 1:00AM.  I was going on a curvy On-Ramp to the freeway and hydroplaned on the wet road.  My car fishtailed, I lost control of it and I slammed into the concrete guard barrier on my driver's side.  And spun around a total 360° on the ramp and was sitting there dazed and sideways. That definatly was an "OH S***!" moments. I got banged around a little - so I'm slightly sore but overall not hurt. Luckily a co-worker behind me pulled over and helped me get off the road, and home eventually.

My car however is totaled - insurance guy claimed it as such.  The rear back fender, light, bumper is all smashed in.  Rear left axel, wheel, and strut is snapped.  The hood and trunk can't close and I can't open the passenger side door - so the frame of the car got all bent up. Sooooo - i have to get a new car basically.

All while starting me first week at work!  Fun fun.

So - I'm going to be dealing with insurance and all that for a little bit.  BUT - I will have new RSI drawings - hopefully sometime by the weekend.

So that is what has been happening with me, and why I have been absent lately.  Busy, crashed my car, new job training, busy.

Oh - yes, I am very glad and proud to be a Femme-Fatal! ^.^ <3

Oh wow, sorry about the car DH.  Glad you're ok though.

Glad to hear you're all safe DH. Keep up the good work!!!

Glad you are ok, welcome back!

YAY DH IS BACK!!! Missed you sweetie!

Sorry to hear about your accident .. so glad you are ok!

/as

Glad to hear you're ok!

Lyr

Glad to hear ur okay. Car wrecks suck!! Cant wait to see more work ^^

Awh thanks all!
It's been crazy busy since crashing for me. I'm hoping my claim check will come real soon so I can get a new car. Right now I'm renting - I have to get to work somehow still.  The job put me on "Light Duty", since it's a heavily physical job, I'm restricted for a few days to heal up my sprains. I still get to walk 12+ miles a day thru all the buildings and floors though.  And all kinds of stuff - phew - Great exercise, Boeing puts us thru this "Industrial Athlete" program - since cleaning and vacuming daily is more intense and tiring than most ppl tend to think.  Try doing a full clean - garbage, bathrooms, vacuming, and dusting on an entire floor that is almost a football field long! OI!  I actually really like it, even if it's tiring.  So, I'm getting quite a nice workout each evening - for 8hrs a day.  I hope to get back to normal duties real soon. It's fun going around the floors, doing whatever duty it is for the night and wandering the maze of cubicles. Lots of engineers working on various jet-plane stuff - very neat.  If I get to work out in the factory sometime that'll be totaly awesome.  Seeing the huge jets in various build states. We walk by the Wing Line going the the athlete thing. Those are some HUGE wings!

Here are some pics of my poor car. It was deemed Totaled and taken away by tow-truck. I have to get a new car - i'm probably going to get anouther Elantra, or an Accent.  Good little cars - even if they are Korean built.  I'll miss my car, it did what it was designed to do - keep me from getting seriously injured - even if it didn't make it.  Human and Machine - and our relationship together ... sort of.

Passenger Side door could not open.

I have some rough sketches done - I'm hoping to get them up asap.

My truck looks worse than that!

But yeah if you bent the frame, it's totaled.

Ugh, car wrecks are awful, but I'm glad you're okay! :: Makes mental note to *finally * get some good screenshots of Sieges and company off to you.

i CAN haZ CARt00n plz?
