The home stretch.
So the final semester has started and I'm feeling pretty optimistic about the whole thing. I had a short meeting with my animation teacher, just to tell him what my focus will be for my gradshow. I'm choosing character design and storyboards. I don't have the patience to be an animator and anything that gets me closer to telling the actual story is good. I think I'd like to direct film some day but all in good time. A concern I brought up was if focusing on one area over another would have any bearing on my going into digital animation next year...apparently it won't, it's all good. I'm feeling more keen this semester than last, I want to stay ahead of my assignments and use my gradshow prep-time to explore different design styles.

I've also started to revisit an online comic idea I had a couple of years ago. I was just looking back on the old pages I did and could see how much I've improved in both drawing and storytelling. That's not to say I'm happy with where I am now artistically but it's encouraging to see that the past year and a half of school hasn't been a total waste. Anyway, it's something I'd like to continue with as I get the time.
