Horse Gallop Test

Another breathlessly exciting 12 second animation clip :P Like the pennyfarthing, this is more of a "proof of concept" than anything I can import into a game engine just yet. But I'm learning :)

Cutest Clank Ever!

Poor Little Wheel! He lives on a planet of happy clanks, doing clank things in a clanky way. But then one day the plug (or rather, The Plug) that hooks up the main generator to everything falls out. Well, perhaps Planet Clank would have profited from a smidge of redundancy in their power source, but that's all as nevermind now. Fortunately, a lightning bolt raises Little Wheel back from his powered down state and now it is up to him to save the day.

No hard puzzles here, just click on the circles in some logical order or another. And do keep the sound on, the jazz soundtrack is wonderful :)

ZHorsie

Just fiddling about with Maya and Zbrush again. And, yes, his mane looks a bit...Romance novel coveresque. Believe it or not, I based his colourations and muscles on Mrs. Peterman's RL faithful steed, Woody. There is perhaps still a family resemblance, but I ended up with a bit more of a leggy fellow:

Ah well

A few weeks ago, I heard that the Linden Lab was looking for "moles" to create builds for new sims. Wildlife/ecosystems were specifically mentioned. I dutifully put together a portfolio of my work on the Aviara project, badgers, snakes, antelopes and all. But today I got the "does not meet our needs at this time" form letter :/

Well, it's not as if I don't have enough projects to occupy my time, but I still have the usual post-rejection letter feelings. Anyway, if you actually like my critters and want to see them waddling about, it looks as if for now, you'll just have to visit the Caledon sims.

Congratulations Vi and Marc!

Some of you may remember "Vi Paravane", intrepid steampunk girl and stalwart gun bunny. She isn't on Second Life much these days, thanks to a slower computer and more happily, a very busy Real Life.

How busy? Well, she still blogs her life in comic strip form over on www.bitstrips.com, so I shall let her tell you :)

Bird of Prey

Done and done! Will be on the market as soon as Miss Munro comes back from holiday.
