(Machine Man)
An extremely early animation created by director Étienne-Jules Marey, a pioneer in filming motion pictures.
The most impressive thing about this film is that it’s from 1885, as it seems to be more a test than anything else.
Fun fact!
Marey was shooting movies at 60fps back then, way before it was cool.

Illustration of Erin and I that I created as part of her fortieth birthday celebrations!
Another abandoned gas station concept.
This one was constructed from a plan and a side elevation using a perspective technique that, through the magic of a bazillion straight lines, projects these 2D renderings into a 3D space and this is now my favourite drawing thing ever.
It’s been a long time since I posted any drawings which is weird because of how quiet and uneventful 2020 was. You’d think with basically nothing going on I’d have got more done. 🤔
Adventure games have cutscenes and I’m currently deciding what the best way of doing them is.
/Dev/World is a three day conference in Melbourne covering everything Apple-related. It was my first time there and it was incredible. All of the talks were excellent and everyone was welcoming and friendly.
These are my notes, published here mostly so that I can tie all the things I learned directly back to the people who taught me. Blockquotes are paraphrased from the talks.
20 minute pose (with some additional refinement at home).
I wasn’t able to make it to this week’s session as I was nerding out at DevWorld, discussing (among other things) the finer points of adventure game dialogue text parsers.
45 minute pose from from last night’s life drawing session. Very much enjoyed it and I’m happy with the solidity of the forms and the proportions but I ended up bearing down too hard on the shading and highlights to the point that she looked like she’s made of plastic!
