Little Rambling Update

Just thought I'd post a little update.

"Going Under" has been shelved indefinitely, most likely to be harvested for parts. It's sad, but that's the way it has to be, for my own sanity.

I have been animating a bit recently though. I may or may not be working on another machinima project. However, in my spare time I have been messing around in Blender (have I mentioned that I loooooove Blender? ;D).

Anyway...... I made this kiss animation from scratch including the walking. It's supposed to be a "semi-dramatic" kiss that I may (or may not) use in a future machinima. I made it because I hated all the face-munching "nom-nom"-ness that most of the in-game kisses had. Plus, I wanted the male taller than the female.



It still needs a little work (there are some clipping issues, I know). I'm trying to decide whether I should improve this one or scrap it and start again on a better kiss. Hmmm.

SIFF Winners Announced

Yeah boi!

Finally, the winners have been announced for SIFF Spring!  I must say, there were a few that surprised me, but all involved were worthy winners :D



(Now, only five or six months until the tenth SIFF anniversary. Plenty of time for me to procrastinate to make something. Or not.)
