Thanks to my friend, Tran, I found out how un-friendly my site is towards IE Explorer. Hopefully I’ll resolve the issue soon. Until then, this site runs best on Firefox. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I’m currently modeling a character from my Songcatcher game concept from back in college. Songcatcher is a rhythm-based/RPG style game that follows Asher and his adventures in music school. Asher is a typical easygoing guy who wishes to become an string instrument maker. His main ‘weapon’ of choice is the cello, which he keeps strapped to his back while traveling. He comes from an island nation, and attends school on the mainland. I’ll include more details later about Asher and his world in this blog.

For now, here are some WIP shots of the model of Asher. I originally wanted him to be more realistically proportioned, but then felt that a more stylized, cartoonier proportion was more appropriate and would mesh better with what I have planned art direction and animation-wise. I’m in the process of UV’ing the model, then I’ll texture, rig, and then start animating my heart out.

Any crits or comments are greatly appreciated!
