for some fucking Reason Gimp dose this shit

IM NOT FUCKING JOKEING HERE! i was trying to Get Naoko and Makoto´s Model sheets Ready but It won´t be Helpful today and fuck around instead,

this is a Pretty Big bummer for me.

of course i have gotten them ready and all with a Base skeleton, however, if im unable to Drag and drop layers in GIMP and the only solution is some kind of nvidia settings, well im starting to wonder if it is time to Switch software or not.

PLANS IN PLACE

im still sticking to the whole divide and conquer thing so nothing too Extreme for now.

anyways here are what im going to do for now atleast, might change the plans should i have changed my mind on things

• I will get Akio´s Complex Rigging and layout done first, Than before the last step of Akio´s model, i´ll get Alex and Conner´s Multires, Textureing and Basic rigging done, agian to save time.
• because of the time i saved on doing Alex and Conner here, i might spend the time on Say Sculpting Leo, Blockout the sauropod models and also prepareing a few more dinosaur models
• i´ll also get Maisie and Terry done at long last and maybe also thier eyes too alongside those of the Allosaurus, in edition i could also get an Animatic done for Yoko Ruby doing her Leap over a building and also maybe FINALLY think about Doing Storyboarding work on Jurassica Safari Park
• and once an animatic is done i can, OH once i Get far enough with all my models i can look for VA´s for Maisie and Terry, YES!
• and once i do have enough models (Preferably the first 10 models and few more) THAN i can make a teaser for Jurassica and than get an animatic into works after Sculpting the last 9 models left are done, or atleast most of those are

alright than so, let´s get started on the day shall we? First month of the year is almost over and Progess is looking good, i have been Procrastenateing a bit but hopefully i can get over it. and really why should i do that? it´s a dinosaur Project im working on, who don´t Love dinosaurs?

got Akio´s Face rigging done today and right now im just missing rigging her arms and legs.

got Alex setup and ready to see where i wanna go, after Getting the face done quickly im kinda unsure if i should or not do Alex and Conner or get as far as i plan to, if at most i might just get the Multires Sculpting done for them as well as bake these models too, giveing final thought tomorrow but so far it´s

A - it´s the 25th and i might waste time doing Alex and Conner´s Multires, textureing and Basic rigging when Akio is almost done

or

B - It´s a Waste of Time to get Akio done BEFORE i get Alex and Conner Done and would save more time later before working on Leo the lythonax

it´s sort of that, this or that.

anyways haveing written down the lines for storyboards to a Quoll alone, i thought it would get Doily ready. this will be a reuseable model, actually made a Folder for these sorts of models, it´s mostly because i got alot of good idea´s for things like Quoll Alone or DragoGen so, lead role´s wouldn´t be a bad idea to have, even if the real model´s are not there(still a long way before i do that) i think it is good to have them ready and i got a feeling when i DO get to those they´ll look better than ever.

OK, so with Jurassica Safari Park been such a big project, switching Gears Even early on might be a good idea tho, shouldn´t do it TOO MUCH!

That Said i have gotten Akio´s Rigging atleast the very complex parts of her done pretty good, her Basic body rigging is where i think it should be at and now just missing her Face, jaw, tounge, arms and Legs, before going to work on The Limbs tho i might actually consider to Get Multires Sculpting, Textureing and maybe even the basic rigging and weight pianting done on Alex Johanna and Conner Sully´s models, agian mostly to save some time but yeah, that´s just me right now and i´ll get Akio´s Face rigging done right now and than we´ll see where i got from there,

Akio´s almost done and if i do get what i wanna get done on Alex and Conner i´d be 5/7 ways thier on thier models.

so, best to plan ahead, im i right?

so far so good, even got the fellow rotations done,

Part of me do kinda wanna Save some time agian and Get Yoko Ruby´s Sculpting, Retopo and maybe even Multires done? IDK let´s see how long it takes me getting Akio here done and if like with the Multires stage, im getting WGT Bone shapes Ready so, might, only Reason this time been Yoko Ruby is... Well she´s my mascot and 2nd i kinda think it would be a good idea as i got a Storyboard ready with her in and alot of other things (include NSFW stuff yeah)

anyways i think the reason it´s Going as is today is because it´s been a long time i last actually got this far and so, gotta relearn alot.

OK, he is Ready for later

i might give this sort of thing a go for a few other models, this will save alot of time and it was alot of fun to do, Hard but also fun, guess it´s Because of the whole "Switch to another thing" Thing but Hey it sharpens my skills and doing Conner Sully here and i think i might wanna give a better focus on my models for the Retopo, was a bit rushed but not too much.

Likewise i can see myself doing this from time to time as i work on Jurassica Safari Park, given the amount of models for it and when i Run dry of The models for THIS Project welp i might give some other critters some love, Willa Brown and Hercy are still in need of new models and Doily, Nat and Kitube need some love too amongest alot more.

anyways storyboards need to be done for my little test/Training thing. Tomororw it´s Over to Akio the T-Rex´s Rigging,

if im going to be more Active with the 3D Models, why not also do a few Animations too, always good to have a dinosaur model around, same for any 3D Model really tho, gotta for now keep to my divide and conquer plans and not go too insane JUST YET! still got 19 models to do and i want relax and have fun all the way as well as get used to my insane workflow plans... well insane for now but with time it won´t be so bad.

Conner Sully´s Retopo went Pretty Well, killing time today by doing some Training on Storyboarding,

Basicly testing out the Whole idea of useing a Storyboard Model for Storyboarding, like trace over them like i do with a Basic Sculpt, i think this is looking better, i think i´ll do that in the future and infact i might give another Project a Go after the Animatic, a Quoll Alone Project, this is only 3 pages and 15 frames but, Should be more than enough for me to Draw over them and use them as a Sketech and if not i can always Pose the Yoko Ruby Model for this or add some more variations.

Now i have this as a side project, i think now would be a good time to Say something i think might be useful for anyone who want to do Storyboards or animatics, It´s mostly on the Subject on OVER ANIMATING STORYBOARDS.

Now im not Against it go ahead if you feel like it but if not or if you do but Still feel unsure if you put too much work into it or too little Just hear me out here:

A Storyboard is a blueprint for how it´s going to Look visually, it´s Previsualization as a petter trem for it.

i still think im a bit new to useing Storyboards and finding new ways to improve is Always cool, but i don´t Want to OVER ANIMATE mine, just give enough infomation for me to give a good idea what i want to see, next up an Animatic and than i can use that for a Previz before i use the Previz for the final version of my Animations.

i Found out about a channel called Animatic pro that might not be a bad idea to check out if you feel like it might be a good style for your animatics, i did adopt it for mine and it did work out.

Well that is if that´s what you´d Like to go, like i did say do what you want just, don´t Overdo it,

for a good idea how to do it, check out some video´s on YouTube, Both from artist, Animators and movie schools

Tho Click here for Intro to Storyboading as i think it´s Too Good to Share it here,

you should also Check out Toniko Pantoja´s Videos about the Subject, these are Too good for that.

also if you want me to, i can share a Link to the Animatic for my YT Channel with Yoko Ruby so you can get an idea for it.

wasn´t Prefect, BUT! given i Sculpted his Head Yesterday, right after getting Alex Johanna´s Reotpo done, is not a bad thing, i just think when i Get to Yoko Ruby i might wanna make it a bigger focus,

im still missing to do alot BUT! as big a Task as Jurassica is, i think by Splitting it into smaller chunks has helped out alot and knowing when to do things when not to is a great thing to have.

NOW THAN! Time for Conner´s Sculpt and Retopo and we can get Akio´s model done fully before i Get Alex Johanna done and so on,

ALRIGHT so here´s my Plans right now

• Get Conenr Sully´s Sculpt and Retopo done
• Get Akio the T-Rex Done fully
• make a Good Teaser for Jurassica Safari Park to hype Everyone up(maybe First off tho Storyboards and an animatic shall be done)
• Stick to the Plans, make three to four models at a time
• get Masie and Terry´s model sheets done and Get the eyes ready for them and the Allosaurus
• if i Feel Ready for it, get Storyboards and Animatics Done

Small Steps have been taken and while i have been wanting to do some other things, i brushed those off and have stayed on Target, right than, battle´s not over yet, going to Get Conner Sully´s Face Sculpt done, i think i might however just do the Blockout of his eyes and face muscles and be done for today.

Alex Johanna is almost done none the less and that´s a Good thing,

and the Prep work, while takeing longer than wished, is going to be 100% worth it knowing what i had done on Akio´s model, also just because i didn´t get her done fully dose not mean today is a Complete fuck up.

infact with as far as i did get with Her, it has earned a smile
