I think it was a tiger snake. Honestly I could see the pattern working

One of my first stops in Perth is always getting Hoodburger's tender mash and gravy burger. Fried chicken, mashed potato, gravy, cheese, perfection👌

A white bun burger in wrapping containing fried chicken and mashed potatoes. A little cheese is noticeable. Sitting on a plate of shoestring fries on a red tray covered with greasy paper

I know! Ask and the snake gods shall provide

I've been back in Western Australia for less than 6 hours and I've already seen a snake

Part 3 of my day: Catching the final day of Electric Arcadia and bumping into my dear old friend and rigger for bones @chowgood.bsky.social, observing many having a hoot and stumbling my way home after a monster day.

Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time?

Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❤️

Last week I gave a talk on freelancing to CG Spectrum's Gamechanger Academy class as part of their 'Good to Great' program. We went through how to become a freelancer, it's requirements, how to set fair rates, all the good stuff

In a classroom, a man (Me) in a brown shirt stands in front of a projected image with the words 'How to Freelance' on it. People are facing him listening, there are computer screens in the foreground

Me frame-by-framing through to spot the 'rr' initials on my Maya shelf

A screenshot of the Rabbit'ath behind the scenes video, focusing on the Maya shelf above the rig demonstration. My initials 'rr' can just barely be seen on the Maya shelf, as that is the shelf that contains my personal scripts

It's a nice peek into the fantastic asset work by the team at Blizzard, along with the animation done by our amazing team at Superseed Studios. Shout out to Robin Dao, the lead 3D artist and video narrator. It's always a pleasure working with him, especially to bring this super cute pet to life

Blizzard have released a behind the scenes look at the creation of Rabbit'ath, the latest pet for Hearthstone. And it's got a quick glimpse of the rig I built for her! www.youtube.com/shorts/pGT71...
