Very sketchy memory of comet Hale-Bopp in 1997

This is a wonderful memory from an experience I had with my brothers and neighbors when was 7 in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, back in April 1997. I've been meaning to sketch it this week and for a while actually. It's not exact but this is what I remember most. The comet was visible for about 4 days and it changed from a pinkish color to a blue gray as it passed the horizon. This was viewd from my neighbir's balcony that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.

I knew it was in 1997 so I did some research this week to find out which comet passed by that year and it was Hale- Bopp. It happened around April 14th or so.

Would've loved this design in my thesis...

This is my thesis character with his helmet design. This is how it'd be if he wore it in the film, but unfortunately this didnt make the cut. The design is very inspired by Tales of Vesperia as you can see, I just made it my own in a way. This is how I design helmets generally anyway.

Just a New Flash Assignment

Had to draw with the pencil tool in flash, it wa pretty annoying to use, I'd rather stick to the brush, even though the pencil produces very clean lines, takes twice as long and you don't get that natural feel, atleast that flow you get from the brush. The background was with the brush though, bout an hour on that bg. the girl about 2 or 3 hours XD.

New Work! New Modelsheet

So this is my long awaited Nix Raine Model sheet for my thesis animation. She wont have the shine in the actual animation, just limited ones during close-ups.

enjoyed making this one, made me realize how much I enjoy designing characters and making modelsheets like this. Mainly the process, however strenuous it gets, feels good when you finish it : )
