custom mighty muggs

its been a while since my last post, quick news, I'm officially graduated, 4 years, now what? only the future knows, for now I'm trying to keep busy with some personal projects while job hunting

For now I wanted to show off a project Ive been working on, its for the upcoming labyrinth bookstore art show, where you customize a blank white mighty muggs figure, not sure yet on the deadline so if anyone is interested in joining check out http://animationroadshow.blogspot.com/ for information. I have basically finished mine but im still working on touch ups and accessories, but so far Im pretty happy with it. I present to you:

The Aquatic Adventurer series suit model F301-B, made for free cordless sea-floor exploration.This suit actually filters its own oxygen, allowing the user to explore the sea longer and unhindered by clunky oxygen cables. The model pictured has been exploring the sea for over 35 years, and has seen corners of the earth that make the explorer wish he brought his camera...

Diving for rare sea flowers is a dangerous job

ipod something

ipod doodles

I got a new ipod touch for xmas and heres a couple doodles on the app Brushes (better ones to come as i get used to it), i also got a stylus to draw with.
Compared to a nintendo ds with Colors, the ipod feels better, and has a better screen, the program has better controls (like undo) and way more zoom, the only downsides are; no pressure sensitivity, and the stylus feels weird at first (the tip is like a round sponge, whereas the ds feels like a pen tip) plus the ds has dual screens which is great for details while seeing the whole image. Also Brushes cost me $2.99 (really thats nothing for a program, but on the ds everything is free with a flashcard :), but this has the bonus that the dude is consistently updating his program as he now can make a couple dollars from it, and in 3 days i got an update that fixed some issues, and with free updates thats awesome.
Personally I prefer the ipod with brushes over the ds even without pressure, the colour and feel is just better, and the brush selection is better. I also just got Flipbook on the ipod, so next up will be some little animations, and man its an awesome pocket animation program, its a million times better then animanatee on ds (which still rocked) but flipbook was $9.99, so a little more cost be def worth it.
Finally to all you DS diehards who are also super techno fans (im lookin at you Garman) GET KORG, its a drummachine/synthesizer program on ds that you can make awesome techno and music with (sold officially a ebgames if you dont download)
