what Tarim?


leading up to this scene is the animation in progress below. Image and animation progress by Dane Parsons. (Dane342@gmail.com) From Cerebus issue #13, page 10.


The rigg for Lord Julius is completed, Done by James Zonta! Who in transferring the model from Lightwave removed edges and verts around the eyes , lips, and throat. And the inner eye areas and some of the inner mouth.

He's now doing the UV layout, too, which is really great. In the meantime the model/rigg has gone out to 4 different animators for various scenes.
Most of our main riggs all got done in quick succession and we now have many Elrod, Bran, Bartender, High Priest, Big Guy and Lord Julius scenes all being animated at once. Oh and Cerebus, too:)

And last week it was the PREVIEW -Tonight it's the actual CEREBUS TV SEASON 2 PREMIERE:
"How I Almost Once Worked With Harvey Pekar"
Cerebus TV Season 2 Premiere Episode will be showing from Friday October 22nd at 10pm EST at http://www.cerebus.tv/
Dave Sim says:- "When Harvey Pekar died this past summer, I knew I wanted to do a piece called 'How I Almost Worked with Harvey Pekar Once' for CEREBUS TV. The story start with Diana Schutz, then backtracks to the Creator's Bill of Rights in 1998, a panel I did with Harvey and Jim Woodring in 2005… television is about stripped a story down to its bare essentials, but this story just kept getting bigger… and eventually led to the decision to make the September 24th signing at STRANGE ADVENTURES Dave Sim's Last Signing…. which I explain on the show which is now the One-Hour SECOND SEASON PREMIERE of CEREBUS TV." How did ALMOST working with Harvey Pekar once --- and even getting as far as doing an AMERICAN SPLENDOR cover featuring Sim, Pekar and Chester Brown -- lead to Dave Sim's Last Signing?

Tune in Friday October 22nd at 10pm EST at http://www.cerebus.tv/ and find out. You can follow what we're up to at CerebusTV on Twitter: http://twitter.com/CerebusTV and also at http://Cerebus.TV/upcoming
