Finally, the video is uploaded! (I'm scared of having it on youtube.....)Enjoy!I'm aware of certain errors in the project:- The grammar might be incorrect since I couldn't find anyone who would proofread it.- The speech bubbles are going too fast, so you have to click pause if you want to read it carefully.

*edit* huh wth? The blog updated itself, hmm... */edit* Just wanted to say that I'm finished with my degree project! I'm very pleased that I managed to hand it in before deadline and I can finally take it easy. 6 months of hard work... I'm really exhausted...and I caught a cold in the process too. What a great timing! Must be my award of my hard effort or something. I'll soon post the

I managed to finish one clip! It's more like a test to see if the dialogue looks good. I can't decide if the text should pop up or just flow along... What do you guys think? If you compare the first one to the rest you'll see a difference. By the way, this is a scene from the ending part. Azrael was rescued by his friend Monsieur from getting slashed to death by the vampire. But the vampire

It's........ alive!!!The environment is basically done, but I think I won't touch it for a while since I need to focus on other things, like animation.Aah, the stress is coming!! :(

..AAAAGH!!!How many times do I have to re-skin Azrael?? I just wished he and the program Maya 2009 would stop acting so stupid that I can animate yoooooou....Sigh.Sorry for the nag, but it's really frustrating that this will be my 3rd time skinning the same character. I also made a huge mistake on the bartender too, which results in remaking the skinning too. AND the riggning...Uuuuugh...first

I was just playing aound with his pose, I'm not rather happy with the cellshading..I don't know how to make it better. Maybe I should remove the toonshading and add something simple instead.The main character Azrael in T-pose. I can't seem to have the thick black lines around with while rendering with Mental Ray..hmmm. Maybe I should skip the thick lines?Otherwise, It's going fine with the

Hooooraaay, finished the last two characters as well! :) It's the antagonist and the support character.I remember creating this character for the first time in 2006. All I can say is: wow..I did improve! Too bad it took me..three years to improve.Here's the antagonist: a vampire whose job is to assassin people. Even for "fun".Well then, time to create all the props for the enviroment..this is

Finally finished with the main character! Now it's time to create...the antagonist!This modell is around 5000 tris, so I'm aiming for appr. 5000 tris per character. Hopefully I'll make it on time!

I'll show you the characters for my degree project. I'm aiming for max three characters! I hope I finish modelling these as soon as possible.The main character Azrael. I've redesigned him completely. He used to have more complex outfit, but I realized it didn't really fit the environment and his personality well, so I decided to change his clothes.From left to right: Camouflage (antagonist),

Desert Rose is a graphic novel that I've been working with now and then for many years. I usually call it "the never-ending project" because I keep changing the storyline, the character design and everything that belongs to it. Although, I think it's pretty normal to go through that phase, right? At least I think so!This project is based on my comic. It's a degree project that I must work with in
