Excuses

With the busy animation schedule I never have time to sketch much.

I will attempt to draw more in my sketchbook, this is what this blog was originally for right?

Another rather creepy high-tech invention is a computer program that can animate a portrait into a fully animated, rendered 3D character. The news article is in another language but the clip certainly speaks for itself in regards to the manipulative, and realistic properties associated with the program.
