Why hello! There’s a quick oldie from last semester just to keep things … fresh… here on my blog?! (Freshly cooked brains for zombies… right… “fresh”!) Anyhoo, I’ve been looking at a lot of this all break:

Over 4 minutes of that, in fact. I’m animating on a documentary and will be able to upload some screens soon! So stay tuned!

Also, school starts in less than a week. Correction: my last semester at CalArts starts in less than a week. WHAAAAAAT WHERE DID THAT TIME GO oh right over ten minutes of animation STILL WHAT HAPPENED TO CALARTS COME BAAAAAAAAACK IMMA MISS YOU

…ahem!

Really looking forward to this semester, finishing C.A.T. and making x films (where x is a number between 1 and 4) and taking classes with amazing teachers and working till sunrise with wonderful friends! And then graduating and going off into the unknown magical world of reality. Eep!

Playing with ZBrush!

Hansel and Gretel are kicked out of the house by their evil stepmom, who’s hogging all the limited food supply. She claims they need to get their street smarts up to par, being there’s a zombie apocalypse going down in the streets.

Hansel and Gretel make their way back home once, after being abandoned in the city, by following a trail of ammo they left. The second time, however, they ran out of ammo because they were led too far into the city.

Lost, a tall woman in rich furs offers them a delicious pizza in the middle of Times Square, and invites them in to her place to stay, where she promises warmth and food.

Her “home” is the New York Public Library. Though it’s gated off, she has the key that lets them in.

She then forces books upon books upon books into their brains– she’s actually a zombie, see, and the smarter the brain, the better the taste.

Decapitation via guillotine is her method of getting to her victims’ brains. But, the book-smart kids learn how to use such a contraption and turn the tables against her when her creepy zombie self tries to kill them.

Victorious, they make their way back home, where they find their evil stepmom has died of obesity. They live happily ever after!

I updated Hansel and Gretel to a NYC zombie apocalypse setting, where the witch is zombie that wants to eat their brains… Only after beefing them up by forcing them to read books from the NY Public Library, which is her home.

ZBrush power, activate! I’d still like to work on him a bit more, as there are some unfinished parts, but here’s a work-in-progress for now!
