Here he is. Textures completed as of today. The only visual element he needs is his beard and head of hair. He'll have a prop as well. I'll be moving on to rigging and blend shapes soon enough.

New Website along with updates
I just finished my dads company website. You can check it out here:
http://www.todayswindowsanddoors.com
Along with that are a bunch of updates on things. First off I've recently started taking a Tai Chi class with my girlfriend which is something I've wanted to do for a long time and am so glad I'm learning it now. I believe it will be something I'll incorporate into the rest of my life. And to show my appreciation is a picture of Timmy in the latest pose we learned last Saturday:
On top of that I'm nearly finished texturing my Gnome. The only thing on him remaining to be textured is his hands. As soon as that's finished I'll be posting images. I'm doing something I haven't done before which is to have textures at multiple resolutions to use based on how close the gnome is to the camera. The other thing I'm doing is making multiple textures due to events that take place in the story that cause the textures to change through time.
I'm still working on the 3d fire. I'm in the process of creating a larger more camp-like fire with embers that will emit from it as well as some smoke. Along with that I'll be adding logs and rocks around the fire with a ground underneath to test the whole fire comp so that when it comes time to put it in the gnome environment there won't be any second guessing.
With that I'm also in the process of redesigning the environments for the Gnome project by creating dozens of thumbnails for each shot and then painting larger versions in painter (no more than 20 minutes to a shot) to help me establish composition as well as color and mood.
Once I'm happy with the thumbnail images I'm planning on starting the modeling of the establishing shots as well as the first few shots in the film. I'm very anxious to get started on that.
I've been submitting Grim Fetch to festivals and will post more about those once I determine it's acceptance or the lack thereof.
More to come soon. I'll probably post some of the thumbnails I've been working on soon.
