Ready to Die - Andrew WK

First of all, If you haven't heard the song "Ready to Die" by Andrew W.K,

got on iTunes, or something and listen to it,

The songs beat and lyrics go amazingly together, a give me the incentive to animate cartoon violence in accordance with the song.

I've done about 20 seconds so far, which is pretty good,

and just to sum things up for you all,

---------

- Death, a.k.a the Grim Reaper, is in the city one night, moon shining, criminals walking the streets, husbands who hate their jobs and their lives leaving work at 1am, vandals, etc. all in the city.

Death says to himself, "Hmm it appears the song "Ready to Die" is playing, I guess I should go kill people with comical humour and action style, along with the music!"

and so Death did, but this isn't any normal "Death", I've made a modern version, to suite my art style, the video, and today's times, he has the body figure of an 18 year old, a cloak, a hood, and a scythe.

let the bloodshed begin. I aim for this cartoon to be on NG front page AND be out before september 1st.

- In other news, I managed to fully sculpt Generation 1 Bumblebee on Maya, only 2 days before the trial expired, I really can't be bothered buying the full version, or using a keygen, torrent or crack. I'm currently more into flash for the mean time, so maybe in a month or two I'll get off my lard-ass and do it sometime

I love transformers, I love them so much, my Studio Arts teacher let me do a whole semester based assignment on them. So, I've done most of the annotation, drawing, and researching involved, but now I just need to finish a picture of "Mazda RX-8 Autobot Jaz/Meister". I have the toy, I got it about 4 - 5 years ago, decided to draw it on photoshop, and then draw my own, souped out version on an above layer. It's a little more sophisticated than the G1 transformers, but less sophisticated than the Transformers in the movies, so it's like a semi-boxy, detailed Transformer. I'll be posting it within 3 days, since I need it done by this coming Sunday.

I'm not posting anything after this for a while, gotta crap load of animation, drawing, homework, and work in general to do.
