So I came back to brontoman after some time away. Pillaged his back legs for a base sculpt on the front. Will rehas most of the wrinkles, but its nice to look a little more developed for a hot minute.

In other news, FuturePoly has started all of our first classes. Mine is smaller than the rest, but it turns out it’s likely for the better. Very excited about it nonetheless! Aieeee. We’re not a college, but shit. I need a title right? I’m gonna go with Coach. Coach Pikop, if you wouldn’t mind. Let’s make that happen.

Back at it, sort of. Been a busy boy. goodwork. stupidgirls. newproject. toomuchdancing. Some good, some bad. New project, though! I’m going to be teaching at FuturePoly—a school started by some coworkers at ArenaNet. It’s pretty exciting! We’re also doing a pretty dope ass digital arts seminar next week which quite quickly sold out. Check out the site, though! www.futurepoly.com

Finally got back to this. I’m more than a little distracted with life lately. However, i think I will have my site updated with a new layout soon? Maybe I’ll get back on the train.

Sorta drunk when I recorded the audio. From now on, though, audio and video are recorded together. If i;m going to ramble, I want the time to do it. Know what I’m saying?

This was supposed to be a lengthy set of recordings, but i boned up the first one. As it turns out, having a full HDD doesnt allow for any caching of the video file as you are recording. So heres… part 2. Part 1 is gone. =(

I recorded this. But ran out of HDD space. The video went POOF. I am not quite sad. I’ll record the rest of the process after i free up space, though. =O
