HARDCORE HOWCAST

FINALLY! My latest Howcast video is online! It paid better too! Yay! I made this whole thing in a week!


Also it can be seen on the front page of BillShrink's website! http://www.billshrink.com/ I also noticed this weekend when I was home that BillShrink was featured in the Morning Call. Hopefully this drums up some business for me!

I just designed this foxy lady for a webisode I've been working on. I kinda love her.

Boob jobs!

Yet another Howcast video.



Over the past few weeks I've been busy assembling a bunch of packages for studios. Hopefully this will get me noticed. Even if they don't provide me with a job, I hope that at least I'll get some good feedback and/or suggestions to get me a job in the near future. Finances are tight at the moment. VERY tight.

Bunny Plate

I found myself reading a craft book the other day and got an idea. I made myself a 3d plate out of a a clear glass plate I got from Crate and Barrel for a wopping $2.95. Hopefully this holds up to several washings.

Family Portrait

I've been meaning to post this for a long time now. This is an oil painting caricature I did for my parents for Christmas. It was odd painting in oils again after such a long break, but I think it eventually started coming back to me.


I was really pleased with the likenesses. I was scared that I would never be satisfied with a drawing of my parents. I've always found the better I know someone, the harder it is for me to draw a caricature of them that I'm happy with. Glad this turned out well!

Ho hum the circus man

Look what I just made!

circus man! from Vanessa Appleby on Vimeo.




I decided to pull out the Animators Survival Kit and after some reading I felt compelled to make a dynamic walk. I tried futzing around with the passing position, as I have recently learned, this is key to an awesome walk. Instead of having the pass be the high point, it's actually the low, giving the whole thing a bouncier feeling. I think I may continue with this character. I'm envisioning him lit on fire by a firebreather in the background. We'll see.
