Hey, thank you! I was disappointed at how little space illustration got in general as Scuttle would have looked a lot better in one of the areas the fine artists got.. but I got a lot of good feedback so I'm happy, I guess!

Well, thats good. The space was small, but I don't think it took anything away from the quality of the work. I was pretty impressed with illustration's turn out this year actually. There was some awesome stuff. It kind of makes me wish I'd studied illustration myself, instead of animation.

Hehe I wouldn't have recommended that, the tutors were totally unhelpful throughout the entire year. It was a real uphill struggle getting Scuttle done, especially considering how he really wasn't illustration in the traditional sense. But yeah, it was a great show, everyone really pulled through.

Whoa! Lovely. The eyes sell it to me. Nicely done. Looking forward to the video...

The eyes are the most important part of any sculpture I think! They get so much emotion across - which is really what my fourth year project was all about.
The video got the best of me, it's not going to be HD anymore but slightly less - like 720p or something - but still decent quality.

He looks incredible! All that detail ... must have taken a while! Can't wait to see the video. You should be very proud of yourself indeed β₯

A lot of it was a happy accident - the mould didn't come out perfect so there were a lot of imperfections in the cast but then that's what makes it more realistic I suppose! But yeah punching in the hairs was pretty time consuming..

I hope I've been ticking the right boxes with my tutors - they wanted documentation, I hope this is the right type!

I think the eyes are my favourite part of this past year, the only success I'm truly happy with, haha..

I KNOW RIGHT *faint*
No I had to put together a full portfolio so editing and printing a lot of stuff, fighting with InDesign, I also had to paint three pictures for the wall but that didn't take very long... Also collating and organising all my research and development over the past year - that's my next job, now that Scuttle's done.

Yeah I'm working on a video just now, it needs to be edited though unlike the silly WIP ones I've been putting on YouTube. Yeah I'm pretty happy with him, I mean it could have gone better but I learnt a lot and he's only the beginning!

I don't suppose we can see a video of his eyes moving?

Soon, it'll be in the HD video I'm working on. There's a WIP video I took of the first test with the silicone face though. [link]
