??? exactly

I was originally convince that I could finish this project with in a month, obviously I was mistaken. I forgot to factor in the “I have a life!” variable.
But still, having a life is not enough to stop me from finding time to continue this endevour. So far this is where I’m at, a 3d render of the main character “Lance”. This was modeled in Maya and detailed in Zbrush.

  This would be one of the Shadow Archetype in the plot. Funny as I was sketching this character, as soon as I draw on the details on it’s face and the details on it’s clothes my original short story plot started to grow with it. I might just make this project a teaser for a bigger animation production.

"LANCE"

This is my main character "LANCE" I kinda model him after me…. No actually I modelled him after me. But of course this is a short animation I had to brng down my awesome hot features a notch or two to be more acceptable with everyone and ofcourse as an artist I cannot, god forbide!, let you, my audience be mezmerize by hotness and totally forget and ignore the story line for the rest of the animation…. heheheh! I’m kidding. But seriously a lot of the features is me including the personality I will be bring into the acting.

I sketch it this way coz I’m prepare him for 3D modelling, in which I will be using Maya.

The quote has nothing to do with this project, I just like it.

The short film will be a series of a comedic clips of a guy trying to get to his bed, which is suspended on air a top a towering stacks of furnitures. I will have the character do several funny ways to get on his bed. One way I had in mind is make the character climb like spiderman. And add some dramatic camera movements like what they did in the Matrix. I will throw in some characters to try to stop him from getting to his bed.
