Update failed!

Aww man I went to all the trouble of posting a shinny new blog post and my update conked out... Drag!

Basically I posted a post about how, for the last 3 days, I have been sat infront if the same computer "making magic happen!" (tm)

What this really means is, I have been animating... And what that really means is I have been watching my computer render for long stretches of time, unable to leave it's side or use it for other things.

For those of you that don't know, to make an animation now days, you do not have to draw millions of frames by hand. No, instead you create your images and tell the computer you would like "thingy 1" to move from point a to point b. And your magic machine churns out all those frames.

The problem is that untill you see all those frames you don't know if you've told the computer the right instructions to get just what you need.

The other problem is to make 30 seconds worth of frames is currently taking my machine an hour and a half. That's a long time to wait to find out your instructions were off.

Long story shirt after three days of back and forth with my pc, my animation is coming together and my brain is coming apart.

So tonight I decided to take a break, chill with my homie at the casa and upload a few quick doodles to deviant art that arn't for an assignment!

So here's hoping this post uploads this time, and enjoy the pointless gem stone.




Peace
