New Toys

Ever since I picked up my 2-disc copy of Dead Man’s Chest, I’ve been running the film forward and back like crazy! I have screen shots of the final details for the Dead Man’s Chest paper model. Within the coming weeks, I hope to return to the model and finally begin work on the textures.

I did, however, create the new compass spinner design that was used in the 2nd and 3rd films. It’s all ready to be uploaded to the Disney Experience, but I may wait until the next site update to release it. I have a special Holiday item that I created back in 2003 that I recently uncovered (I thought I’d lost it), and I want to share it with you all this Christmas. I just don’t want to push the bandwidth. BUT . . . the spinner is already available on the compass model CD, so if you had planned on ordering it sometime soon, you will get the extra spinner.

I’m also enjoying my new Wacom drawing tablet. The past week or so, I’ve been experimenting on new artwork. I’ve even opened a deviantART account and updated my portfolio site. Check out some of the Disney artwork that people have done on deviantART—it’s insanely gorgeous!
