awww you made me ink..

Finding nemo line. Im a nerd. Wanna fight? Gettin close to school time so the drawings prolly wont be as frequent. Im anxious to get back to animation learnin. I love animation mentor. An overwhelming feeling though..Stay tuned.

First image I inked with pens that I never use. T'was fun.Did some cartoon concepts and a head shot for a project called Cryptid. Mainly for fun. Also added some practice sketches ( the girls ones... I googled comic images and doodled em so not mine, just practice). Will get more up soon!

Edit: Quick Ink tonite from a sketch I did at work:

Oh yeah, sounds like you'll be back on Monday! : ) Awesome Mel, quarter 3 is really good, and you're gonna love it! You're not in Kansas anymore. ; ) (Um, yeah, i have no idea why i just said that, i guess i thought that my message was lacking a little cheese, you know from the the cheesy/corny category, lol!) ; ) i'm lookin' forward to seeing the Mel workspace with a back in business sign up come Monday morning. Glad you're gettin' back in the saddle bud. Kick some ass!

Hey Hans!

Ive done two terms with Animation Mentor. Took a break this last term so Im on the third term ( outta 6 in all ). I use maya for school and we use both max and maya at my job. I love animation mentor and would recommend it to anyone.The students and staff are amazing. Great price for a load of learnin. Id also recommend the keith lango tutorials (also very amazing for the price.) I hope one day that I dont get as anxious about animating cause its loads of fun.

Thanks all for the wonderful comments everyone. means alot to me...
