The Passenger is 10

A decade ago today The Passenger premiered at the Arclight in Hollywood, and while it might have been nice to mark the occasion with a 10th anniversary special edition stereoscopic UHD HDR HFR re-release, I decided to save myself the trouble and just lop $10* off the DVD for an indeterminate time instead.

That way I get to fritter away even more time trying to finish off this other... thing... that has devoured the better part of the last two years, rendering my website dormant in the process.

*This sale has now ended, but I've reduced the normal price by $5 (for another indeterminate time).

Mr Head

Now in 4D.  Featuring special guest appearance from Mr Hand.

Forging a Head

Now that his eye is back in place after its little outing, I've been subjecting Mr Head to some panel beating and a coat of paint.  As you can see, he is most pleased with his new appearance.

Eye Piece

The latest in my ever increasing assortment of body parts.

Thanks to Brendan for supplying some extra render power.

Krita Test

The next 3D render has left me with a lot of down time, so I thought I'd finish off a sketch that emerged while I was evaluating Krita mid-last year.

Eyeball

Unfortunately YouTube has not done this one much justice... enable HD to improve the picture quality a bit.

Face WIP

After a succession of interruptions I've finally managed to make some more progress on this guy.  As before, it's just a proof of concept, so there's a myriad of temporary, incomplete or just plain missing bits.  I saw fit to add some music this time, for whatever reason.

Website Mk IV

Now Powered by Blogger, or so the footer says.  It's not quite as pretty as it was when it was powered by Wordpress, but it is faster, free-er, Google-er, and surrounded by a virtually impenetrable hacker-deflecting fortress (this should not be taken as an invitation to try hacking it, by the way).

Hackers Be Gone!

Disinfecting and rebuilding my site over and over is getting a mite wearisome, so I'm terminating my Wordpress site and migrating everything over to Blogger.  In fact it's already there - all that's left to do is to transfer the domain, which will be happening shortly.  When it does, any feeds will most likely cease and need to be re-subscribed to.

Eye WIP

An eye rig and dynamic wrinkles test run.

New Button

Behold the Music Button.  It leads to the Music Page, which I originally intended to add 6 years ago when I started the site.  So far it is populated with 3 tracks:  the results of a recent sound design experiment, a relaxation track I did in 2004, and the Christmas carol I already posted ages ago (which now has a pretty picture to go with it).



There will be more.

Hand WIP

More from my personal person project. This was just supposed to be a rigging test, but then I got carried away and started texturing and things. So now it sits in that uncomfortable place somewhere in-between rough test and final product.

Bottersnikes and Gumbles

A teaser has been released for an animated TV show being developed at Mighty Nice in Sydney, for which I contributed revamped character designs based on the original book illustrations, as well as some matte paintings.

The Passenger DVD Now $14.95

That's the same amount of plastic for $5 less!  Postage is still $6 though ($3 within Australia), can't do much about that.  Purchase instructions are here.
