I do cool things on the weekends.

I did some cool things on the weekends this month that I meant to blog about at the time, but am finally going to get to now. First, I went sailing on a boat! It was amazing!!! It was a 19th century sailboat. I'll tell the best part in a glorious mix of words and pictures.

We:

pulled on these:


to lift these:


That's right - I, wimpy Kathy of Coloradian suburbia, proved my radness by helping to hoist sails on a 19th century skiffer. Suhwheet.

The next weekend I did more cool things. I hung out with these people at this place:


and this place:


and other places I don't have pictures of. My favorite part of the trip was seeing this girl:


I got to watch her for a couple hours and it was AMAZINGLY fun. She's such a cute little babeh.

Then the NEXT weekend, I went with a lot of these crazies:


to this place:


for this YSA conference:


which was super happy fun times.

My work so far

I'm FINALLY posting more of my work! I hope you're excited.


My first assignment from Intro to Animation. We were supposed to make it feel like a bowling ball.


A wave cycle


Walk cycle 1


Walk cycle 2. His arms are crazy. Next time I'll be more careful.


An exercise with squash and stretch. I love that little guy!


This is a project I worked on with a group. Hooray for Pixellation, AKA Stopmotion!

That's it for Intro to Animation. Now for Animation 1!


This was our 2nd assignment. The goal was to have the lamp do a 'take' - AKA change from one emotion to another. I chose from curious to scared.


For this one, we had to have Norman sit in a chair in an interesting way - AKA with some emotion. I chose intrigued.

If you haven't seen it, you can check out my final for Animation 1 in the previous post.

Now for Texture and Lighting 1!


This was my environment I chose for my midterm. What do you think?


And this was my project for my final. My goal was to make her Steam Punk.
