Heya Carl,
Dude, your studies are always sooo beautiful...there's so much movement in them. I can picture the figures in my mind coming to life - moving gracefully, walking and dancing. There's this strange oriental song (in my head) that goes along with the moving figures. Yeah I know...I'm completely insane! :P
Anyway...amazing and very inspiring work, buddy!

Hi Carl,

Thank you for the kind words man! i have to say your studies and color work is top notch in it's own right!

I'll be checking out your work more often man!

To answer your question, the storyboarding i did wasn't the type that you'd find in regular TV and for was an on-line 3D game, however in general and depending on the style of the show putting in all that detail sometimes makes you pull your hair haha, i've heard stories of people taking hours and hours of extra work to do that and have a director tell them to re-do it for other reasons, i know what you mean though because there is the urge to do that but i think you learn to save yourself the trouble.

Feel free to ask me anything any time though man!

keep up the great work here!

Cheers~

thanks guys!!!

Finally all those anatomy studies and gesturals are paying off. I seriously lost myself for hours in these sketches just doodling and carving masses with light and darks.

I'll try and get some polished pieces out of some of these. so stay posted. :)
