Hello again! It's been a bit, but that's because I forget everything (if I don't, there's a risk my brain could melt from too much rubbish floating around in it) so I forgot to update when I should have... typical of me eh?
Luckily I haven't been forgetting to do some work. Though I've been a bit sluggish getting to my line tests (which, from today and over the weekend hopefully will be caught up on a tad) that's because I've been trying to get my character sheets done. It's not so much as I've got a lot of characters (there's 4 main characters, but one of them has two forms, and there's a heck of a lot of nameless and background characters) but because, as usual, I just CAN'T STOP CHANGING THEM. But I've finally decided to draw the line, for my own sanity later down the line, and I'm finalizing the characters in this last batch of character sheets. I did have character sheets for my protagonist and antagonist already, but the protagonist changed a bit too much to salvage anything but the background picture from the original character sheet. The antagonist might be a different matter because when I originally designed him, I guess I knew what I wanted him to look like. So I'll probably salvage him, but he does still need two more turnarounds finished. Each sheet has the characters on all fours (if applicable) AND on two feet, and the antagonist will need one on his hind feet in cat form (finished already, nabbed from the original sheet), one on all fours, and one as his owl form. Not too much of a problem but y'know... it takes me a while. A long, long while.
I need to remember to do a size chart too. Size MATTERS *is slapped* Okay, okay, bad joke.
I forgot what I was talking about.
Oh yeah! Character sheets. I actually uploaded the latest ones to my personal gallery, and well... it's out there somewhere, floating in the internet. Too bad I can't find the damn thing. Ah well. I tried to upload them to deviantART, but stupid college system is stupid, and it's blocked me before I could even upload one. Helpful, eh? So, yep, been working, can't prove it.
Next on the list is to do my line tests then, I'll polish off the character sheets in my own time. Really nothing else to talk about. Going to see the Lion King in 3D later today, it's 'educational research' into how Disney tackles the movement of 'large cats that are totally related to what I'm doing' and not just 'I want to see this classic revisited'. Honest! Just like those kittens we bought on Saturday. Those two adorable but up until yesterday very loppy 8-week old kittens were for 'research' and not 'those kittens are so adorable we have enough space and money to get them and I'm sure company would bring our older cat out of his moping so let's buy them'. Honestly though, they're adorable, we named them Jindo the Dogbreaker and Todd. Todd looks like a little fox and he's a perfect mix of mischevious and shy, with a proper babyface to boot. Jindo the Dogbreaker (if you've ever played World of Warcraft, you might get the joke) really suits his name... at the vets the other day our young dog Izzi came to sniff him in his cage, and did he hiss and shy away like normal cats? Did he hide? Try to run? Hell no. He LUNGED AT THE SIDE OF THE CAGE TO RIP OFF IZZI'S FACE.
I also saw a cat on Youtube while touching up my research that just boggled my mind... see, my older cat, Sunny, is obese, at about 6.5 kilos of weight. I'm taking measures to try and make sure no one else is feeding him while I put him on Royal Canin Obesity Management food, but even at his weight, you can't really notice any difficulty in general movement (he has a greasy lower back though because he can't clean it properly. Cat shampoo~) but he can get up, lie down, jump around, and he's still perfectly happy to go out and night and brawl with other cats and chase them around and all that territorial stuff. He's a big cat though. Now imagine my horror, when I thought my cat was honestly about as big as a cat would get, when I find a cat on Youtube TWICE SUNNY'S WEIGHT at over 12 kilos? This cat... honestly... it could barely get up. Watching it struggle just to stand up from lying down was horrifying. You know, I'm going to try and find a video of it, just do everyone can share my horror.
And I don't even think that was the fattest one I've seen... that's horrid. Put the poor thing on a diet.
Sorry about my rant though.
