Oh well. Sorry for the super woe-is-me post, but every so often I have to let it out somewhere.... :P

Back to work!

HEE HEE HEEEEEEEEEE! < This is the sound of Courtney's brain melting... It's very happy fun times over here...

So, we started animating today... I was so lost for half the class that my head almost came loose, fell off my shoulders and rolled across the classroom while the few bits of brain that I have left gushed out my nose... Then I had this massive brain explosion and all of a sudden EVERYTHING became clear! Now I'm in an I-love-animation-and-3D mood again!

That is all.

ZBrush is my new best friend. Wow. You can be so free and creative... It's nice...

We're working on a hand assignment where we have to model a base mesh in Maya and import it into ZBrush and then sculpt a nice pretty hand! Oh the awesomeness! It's so much fun! It's like painting but with 3D! Cheeeeh!

Anywho... Another brain-blasting day! We still have one more class until 9pm (Design) and I am SO EXCITED!

I have been doing a lot of surfing and organizing of favourites the last few days and have come across some kick-butt Disney/Pixar sites and blogs and stuff! Links coming soon! ^^

Cheers!

Toodles!

GAH!

A really horrible thing happened yesterday... My Grandmother, without telling anyone, took our 15 year old dog Fritzi to the vet at 1pm and had him put down. She called that evening to tell me what she'd done. I can't believe I didn't get to say goodbye to my first furry friend...  He wasn't dying, he was just old. Why couldn't she have waited until my Mother and I could have been there to say goodbye to the little guy? Why!?

I still can't believe that she actually did it... I'm so angry. I know Oma doesn't understand that what she did was very wrong, and I know that no matter how angry I get with her, it's not going to bring my Littlest Prince back, but it still hurts...

I know it was something that was going to happen soon... but why couldn't she have told us so we could have at least said our goodbyes... If I'd have known on Monday that I was never going to see my little man again, I would have given him a little more of my time and attention... a few more hugs and kisses... I'm really feeling quite horrible right now...

Goodbye Fritzi. You were are really good boy and I hope you're happier wherever you are now. I love you.

A friend of mine, phonixa, did a painting of Snow White using a method involving taking a disney princess colouring book page and colouring it in the style of an old fashioned painting. So after checking out some of the ones that she had looked at/been inspired by and I thought it might be fun to do one of my own.

I picked Ariel and I used a painting by Boucher, François.

This was really fun to do since I wasn't thinking about the drawing and therefore I could totally focus on the painting.

Enjoy!

Cheers!

I would also like to point out the Tinkerbell is eating the Daisy Duck on my pajama... Poor Daisy. Silly Tink.

So, here's a video of Ms Bell. Isn't she a sweetie? She's totally a mini velociraptor in disguise... She's so funny! I wish the footage of her hip-hopping across my bed had turned out... I'll have to try again...

I have to go do some chores now... It's all very exciting...

Also... Tinkerbell, who is sitting on my laptop screen, sends her love and wished to inform you all that she can now perform three tricks! Touch, Turn Around and Come! My little genius! I hope to post a video of her soon!

This is Meera. She's a character from a story that I've been working on since grade 9... I've actually started working on it again and have been thinking about designing some of the other characters as well. YAY!

Wow. Thumbs up for dissapointment. I've finally finished all the Harry Potter books. Yes, it has taken me a really long time, I am aware. Did anyone else think that the last book was a dissapointing waste of time? I've never wanted so badly to call an author up and ask them, in all honesty, what the heck were they thinking? I'm still shaking my head. Oh well.

So what do I do when I get totally bummed by the books I'm reading? LiVEJOURNAL!!! Of course! I have to come check out what everyone has been posting in the journals! Of course it makes me feel better and I come across this: Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

 

Such a sweet little girl! ^_^ 

Yay for parrotlets! Hee hee! Birdie birdie birdie.
