Hi all, i made a simple myspace artist page just to show a couple of the songs from the upcoming album.

The final album will be at least 10 songs long, but for now, feel free to listen to the result of some of my hard work. Let me know what you think! Honestly!

Oh, and add me to friends and if you like a song, host it on your own space

The other night i got bored... I did something random and made 2 video tutorials.

I enjoyed making them and they didn't take long to make, so I made some more today. They are in a 'How to Draw' theme, and although I don't by any means claim to be the best, I have had a bunch of requests from people asking me to 'teach them', a bit too much effort to do one on one online...

This I feel is a nice alternative though! If you can somehow get past my Australian accent, I hope that they will be informative to those of you with a creative side. Let me know what you think, and what might also be any good addition to the collection.

FREE DRAWING VIDEO TUTORIALS:

part 1 - construct
part 2 - emotion
part 2.5 - emotion
part 3 - poses
part 3.5 - poses
part 4 - color/shading

i've in the past wanted to find some video tutorials, and never founf anything free that was of any use. There was cartoonsmart, but i never really liked his art style not to mention the bloody COST, lol.

Anyhow, I'll leave you all with a little update, Moonkey and I are working hard on our next game, I'll not give too much away, but we hope for it to be PVP over the net. The art has all been made in 3D for the game and rendered for flash. Heres a sample of some characters!!

:::::::::::::::::::::::: UPDATE (1/24/08) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Part 5 - hands
Part 6 - hair
Part 7 - animation setup
part 8 - animation
part 8.5 - aniamtion
