Whiplash animation 2

Quick update: got all the blocking out down, added interpolation to everything and have refined the initial shot for the smaller, squishier ball. Looks half-decent so far, but I've got a long way to go to make it look how I want, nice and snappy. Still don't have a playblast, but that'll be next, once I fix all the points where the balls decide to wander gradually way over to their next mark before they're supposed to move. Here's a screenshot for one of the key moments. Not much emotional "tension" in it (no pun intended), I can see already. Have to work on it.

Other stuff: Found an excellent site for drawing poses, or life drawing as it's known. Here's the site: http://www.posemaniacs.com/ (Note: potentially NSFW, some skinless muscle-based nudity etc.) I particularly like the 30-second quick drawing tool, and the hands and feet section, cause I find hands and feet so hard to get right (not that I do that much character drawing). Well over half-way done Dune, but I don't think I'll get it done before end of May, especially since I need to focus on this. Listening to Metric - Fantasies. Cobian Backup is quite excellent. That's all.

Later,
