Gollum sketch

July 3rd, 2007 by joel

Just did a quick sketch of Gollum the other day, based on the picture of Gollum on some making of Lord of the Rings book:

I got the proportions a bit messed up, so his face is a bit longer than it’s meant to be…

I’ve just finished editing four 1 minute video clips for the Anglesey Youth Theatre, it was actually quite fun to do. Avid went a bit weird the day before I was going to start editing it. Every time I tried to play back a video it was start stuttering and go all messed up. I think the problem was that my old hard drive is dying/slowing down, so it couldn’t keep up to speed or something. That and a combination with having the audio buffers set to high.

I was going to make another short film with Huw and Laurence, but even after we came up with an ace idea, we were a bit too hyper to make it and ended up filming random stuff in the forest by Treborth running track, i.e. me doing my ‘awesome’ Russell Crowe and Russell T. Davies (writer for Doctor Who) impressions and Laurence doing his Russian millionaire accent. Thankfully Avid wasn’t working, so I couldn’t edit it! I think I’ve taped over most of now as well… what a shame!

Anyways I’m hoping to do some more sketching in the coming weeks, as well as some modelling in Blender - see if I can actually complete a project… I’m thinking of going for a really simple creature type thingy that will be really easy to model (hopefully) and then I can concentrate on getting really realistic fur and stuff.
