Buhhhhhhhhh
Okay, so, I made it through eight years of what were allegedly the hardest public high school and college in the country without having to pull a single all-nighter, but then I got to grad school and it took exactly four weeks and two days for A&M to break that streak. Hurrrrrrrrrrrrr. Even after sleeping for ten hours last night and letting myself wake up naturally, my body is still like, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy are you doing this to me? But yes, this is what I was working on all that time:
I usually think he’s pretty cute and want to squish his little butt, but now when I look at him I just want to say “You, sir, are a LIFE-RUINER. GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK.” Okay, whatever, I’m over it. Here’s his nemesis:
They’re for my animation and modeling class, so I have to make a thirty-second short about them over the next ten weeks. Now I gotta put bones in them so I can animate them, and then I gotta shade them to look like clay since I want my thing to look like claymation, then I gotta light them and now I gotta stop talking about everything that’s left to do because it is making my head hurt.
Here are the other things that were due yesterday morning:
This is the bear’s bed. I like how the shape of it is the same as the shape of his head.
This is the bear’s book. You might think it looks like it was really easy to make and you would be correct.
This is his lamp. I like how this one really emphasizes how I couldn’t figure out how to get the turntable centered. I kept messing with the camera’s pivot point but it wasn’t changing anything so finally I was like, whatevs, if I finish in 15 minutes I’ll have time to shower AND get a vat of coffee before class.
And finally, this is the bear’s nightstand. The span lines are kind of gross and there might be too many of them for how simple the model is but I am just learning OKAY.
Here are um, the craptastical storyboards for the animation. They really bring out my lack of drawing ability!
Basically what they are supposed to show is that the catbear…thing…is reading peacefully in bed. Then the camera pans down to under the bed and there’s an evil bedbug, who goes under the covers and bites the catbear’s leg off, and then the catbear squishes him with his shoe (which is going to be his book because what happened to his book?) and puts his leg back together, and everything is fine because he’s made out of clay. We’re supposed to do our animations on a nursery rhyme, so mine is “Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite. And if they do, then take your shoe, and beat them ‘til they’re black and blue.” So that’s where the shoe came from.
This now concludes the latest edition of “What the hell has Sarah Beth been doing with her life these days” Oh and also I made little clay versions of the characters:

We need to collaborate on a project.. like… NOW. Or whenever this school thing of yours is over.
This post is just filled with too much goodness. Keep on trucking, I know you’re going to do big things at Texas A&M, it’s already starting :)
