At last, all of that sitting and drawing has at least paid off in one area! :P Here's the completed practice storyboard that I want to stick in my portfolio, just to say HAY GUYZ I CAN STOREEBORED GUD. (At least, I hope it's good.)

This was pretty much all based out of my head and from what small observations I could glean from my internship long ago. If any persons out there have taken formal storyboarding classes or gotten instruction, constructive critique is greatly appreciated. Heck, constructive critique from anyone is appreciated.


Some background:
The story's from chapter one of ursulav's story Elf vs. Orc. The characters, dialogue, story, etc. belong to her. In case you have not read the story, Sings-to-Trees (the elf) is a long-suffering woodland vet. He comes across Celadon Toadstool (the orc) who is severely wounded and unconscious. Even though elves and orcs are natural enemies, Sings-to-Trees feels obligated to help the orc because he's a healer. The problem is getting her to his house.









































Aaand that's the end! Wow, two pages of prose equals 20 pages of storyboard. o_O Go figure.



And lastly, here's, a bit more progress on my Maya model. This doesn't include some of the side scales I'm building in seperate files and then adding later. I am now fully convinced that polys are much more fun than NURBS...makes me glad the game industry sticks with polys. Frecking NURBS.




Still jobhunting; I called the temp place again today. :P But this week feels like too much of a holiday for me to pay attention to jobthings, so I'll work on arts as much as I can.

Man, I need to buy a Wii sometime soon. Sometime when I have monies. :O

Drawing: Finished this! Still working on doujin pages and Lunargyros pages. The time I was using on storyboard stuff will probably go towards working on giftarts now.

Writing: Finished a sporking, and finished a beta! Also wrote a smidge of a scene for LW. Need to work more on that, though, actually.
