I Think I Can, I Think I Can...

I'd be "lion" if I were to tell you that the animating process is an easy one...

It's 2:48 in A.M., and I'm in my garage... breathing life into clay puppets.

Brad Bird once said, “Animation is about creating the illusion of life. And you can't create it if you don't have one." Uh-oh.

Gentle Giant

My veggie lovin' lion. He could use a puff of hair on his tail and possibly some brows. Test brows in shot below. Enclosure still in the works.

Highlights

My brow-less vegetarian lion gets highlights. (His mane is made of foam!)

Here's the Plan

Work. Work. Work some more. Grr.

Here's my vegetarian lion in the works. His afro is in dire need of some highlights and yes, he's still missing his bottom jaw. What part of in-the-works did you not understand? I kid you :)

Paid a visit to Joann Fabrics in Glendale. What a dump. I sprouted three white hairs while waiting in line. Grr. Bought some needlepoint supplies. But for the record, I do not know how to needlepoint. Hehe. But I'm going to try to figure it all out with the help of the internets. Yes, all the internets. I think a title page created with needle and thread could be a nice touch, don't you?

Finally, I have a new girl-crush. Her name is Caitlin McGauley. She is wonderful. THIS is why.
