Stuck in a loop
Jul 16th, 2010 by Jared
Something I’d planned on doing while in Michigan, was take plenty of reference photos around my brother’s house. It’s a heavily wooded area, which is perfect for what I have in mind for the area around Mary’s cabin/shack. Thanks in part to the horse flies eating me alive, I started thinking that I’ve done this all before… and I was right. Sifting through my backup drive, I found hundreds, maybe thousands of photos from at least the last 3 or 4 years. Now I just have to sort through them all.
Speaking of repeating myself, another casualty of the reinstall was part 2 of a skin shading tutorial for Deviant Art. I had most of it typed out, screenshots were taken and ready, and none of it survived. Having to redo the whole thing is giving me bad flashbacks of all the times over the past several years where I’d have something fully animated, only to have the power blink out (or the software crashed) before I could save…
