CALLING ARTISTS ~ THERAPISTS ~ TEACHERS . . . EVERYONE! . . .
You should go VISIT: ONE HAPPY FOOL! . . .
Let us let the Story of BIG BUNNY (an original 2D character
sketch by Robert Taylor lead us to . . . ONE HAPPY FOOL!)
SUGGESTION FOR ALL ARTISTS, ANIMATION ARTISTS and ART LOVERS! . . .
Big Bunny is stylized character sample, based on original 2D character sketches by Robert Taylor (AKA. Bob Taylor). Other characters produced for the same project include Bad Kitty and Nesto. The main requirement was to bring alive the lively 2D pencil drawings into the 3D medium, ready for animation. The mesh for Big Bunny is kept very simple - along with the IK skeleton rig controls for both upper and lower body movements. Nulls are used at the wrists and ankles with Aim At constraints on the biceps and thighs keep the limbs bending in a natural direction while still allowing flexible posing and animation.
Big Bunny has appeared a number of times - most notably for the users of Hash Inc. Animation Master where he was shown on their manual cover, inside the manual back pages and on some Hash Inc. brand merchandising (back in 1998).

NOW, ONWARD TO ONE HAPPY FOOL! . . .
This wonderful BLOG you will find very INTERESTING (By Barbara) . . .
Diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in January 02 I was given a dire prognosis. The first treatment failed miserably. But a couple months after that I was suddenly in complete remission. So, I began living again, never knowing how much longer before the cancer would kick up again. These are the tiny moments in my life that are too good not to be shared!
Today we discussed emotions and the weather. Some people are profoundly affected by barometric changes. Rainy days calm me and I find the quiet thrumming of a steading downpour to be particularly comforting.
The task today was to paint a sky and combine it with words to depict an emotional state. I brought in one sample so they'd understand where we were going with this and then I did a little demonstration to show them how to get there. I showed them how to make a puddle of water and mix colors, how to make a simple wash, streaks of cirrus clouds (which don't show up well), use India ink pens for lettering, etc. Anyone who has seen the DVD, Beginning Watercolor Journaling that I keep mentioning, will recognize the influence.

You should take your two grandchildren to the Art Supply Store -- You'll come out of there with a medium to work with yourself ~ (maybe even a NEW one) . . . it happens to me every time I venture in ~ which is often. ~ lol
Thanks for checking out the LINKS. I thought that others would enjoy them. Let me know if your Grandchildren do a watercolour work of art -- maybe you can get some photos of what they create and share them with us.

Your Buddy,

The Interview you did was very professional, and very educational. I loved it! . . .
I had been missing you ~ and don't think for one minute that I have forgotten about The Story of Black Raven ~ Got a real smooth idea for it! I'll send you a Draft, as I'd been working on it back when we first discussed the break-out of the SERIES. You may want to take what I've got, and use it (I hope you like the idea!).
Your Friend,
Rene
