Aaaand it’s a new term at Animation Mentor. Yesterday the flood gates opened! It was crazy slow on the site as I’m sure almost all of the students were accessing the site. The energy around the site is incredible. I think it’s great to have large groups of new students come in each class - the energy is just boosted. I can’t believe how supportive and friendly the community remains.

So here’s the lowdown on my class 2: my mentor is Justin Barrett. He’s an animator Reel FX Creative Studios in Dallas, Texas. I saw some of his critiques/Q&As last term and he’s pretty funny. So it should be a sweet term. Only 12 students in my class this term - and I’m the only girl. Go figure. I’m starting to see that’s how this industry rolls. Lol.

All in all, I’m pretty excited. MEGA excited. It’ll be fun. The assignments definitely sound challenging but hey, I’m not intimidated. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Oh yeah, here’s a random painting. (Don’t seem to post anything like this anymore since AM!)

I love mythology of all kind and so I’ve been doing a series of paintings revolving around those Gods and Goddesses. My one rule for these paintings is that they have to be simple. I’m quite the perfectionist, always trying to make things look real life like and perfect. And I’m doing them all on random pieces of wood. This is a fun experiment for me to make things obscure or flat or just, out there. So here’s Anubis, God of embalming from the great Egyptian Gods.
