wooh whoo! like the candy bar

round 2 of crunch time. thanks to some much appreciated generosity, i was able to land one of the remote freelance animation postions to help wrap up Open Season 2. reel FX seems like a pretty rockin company, and the few people that i have meet so far have been really cool. so i have the ability to spend some time around family while animating for food. wooh whoo!

::time for traditional poo::

so i haven't done a digital type painting in a long time. to get back into the swing of things, i've done this wall.e rip, with an om age to Ashley Wood's color palette. although i went darker than Wood usually goes. i think i'll probably use it again sometime. if you think the cheezy paint texture effect is no good, let me know. it's impossible to get Wood's brush stroke effect with the standard brushes ::corel:: provides, or i just do0n't know how to get it to do so. anyways, there is something wonderful to say about sitting down and just frunkin coloring for a while. maybe i'll save that for another post though.
