Some more polishing, although there is still a long way to go and a lot of work to be done I am slowly getting there (on the expanse of my sleeping hours!)
Okies, although the weather was absolutely stunning over the weekend here in Melbourne, I managed to push myself to spend a little bit more time on my “Sneeze” test.
The test is at the stage where most of the business is solidly blocked, and now all it needs is a bit more love around the rough edges. After blocking I ended up getting rid of a lot of spare keys that I had on my time line. As a result of assigning a key on each control fore each pose my time-line looked very cluttered. This is something I will definitely look out for next time. Although I tried really hard to keep it nice and tidy, at some stage it was just a little too hard.
Please bare in mind that I didn’t really spend much time tweaking the limbs. I wanted to get the spine and lines of action of the poses to feel right. I am intending to go back and layer on top of what I have got going now.
Anyhow, this test has a very long way to go. Here is where I left things off until next time.
