Run with me?

Lately my entire sleep schedule has been completely out of wack.im truly beginning to believe that ive forgotten HOW to go to sleep without being completely exhausted mentally and physically. ive been forced to find new creative ways to fit personal animation projects and studies in my schedule between class work and class projects... its a very hard job. i mean i AM however learning CG modeling, Texturing and compositing in these class but ultimately, animation has my heart; therefore, im find myself even more-so committed to it than ever before.
i cant say ive exactly learned how to make my animation "fit into" my schedule because ive just been staying up every-night to about 5- 6AM to finish class work and animate a bit before i go to sleep for about a hr and a half before i arrive at school at 9.i know its not healthy but for some reason i like it. i like staying up and working until i feel like my soul is leaving my body or until my mind shuts off and pushes itself into a dormant state and lets my intuition take control. because when i do that, every artist knows what happens... you are elevated to a new plight of creativity. its like you become creativity, and you are no longest the artist, animator or writer. you become the art, the animation or the words...and for any artist... that simple aspect of the overwhelming fatigue makes it all worth it.
this animation was done about three weeks ago after i had completed about 5-6 walks. like the walks, it was done around 5 or 6am, and like this animation, im submitting this post at 6:52am while most of you are undoubtedly sleeping or getting ready to wake up... was it necessary to do it this way? no. was it completely worth it? hell yes. i hope you all enjoy.

so this is the reason i haven't been able to update my blog as often as ive been wanting... lots of fun keying frames and finding "that perfect pose". well needless to say this particular animation is nowhere near perfect... however i enjoyed it and am proud to call it my fist "real" 3d animation... so upon completing this months "Fundamentals of Animation class" ive officially decided to animate my ass off in hopes of becoming a better animator... ive tried modeling, shading and lighting and none have seamed to stick with me as much as the art of computer animation has... funny- i love to draw and would love it if i could do it 24/7 nonstop; but for some reason i cant quite get the feel of 2d animation quite yet... i love the medium and have aspirations of learning pursuing it one day but as of now... i cant get pass the "rough" look of the line tests and the pre production of it all... 

anywho here is a robot orb animation!!!
