			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes things just don&#8217;t go according to plan. I got a commission to do a sample character design and illustration for an educational course. It was a pretty interesting brief. The idea was that there were a bunch of little characters that lived inside a machine who were observing our world. Over the length of the course they and the machine would evolve and it all had to be designed to be suitable for animation &#8211; something I had been suggesting to the client for a while.</p>
<p>The sample was for a tiny amount of money but if I won the contract it was for a lot of work. More importantly it was a cool idea so I had at it with a will!</p>
<div id="attachment_84" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 503px"><img class="size-full wp-image-84" title="isodoodle" src="http://www.squeakypics.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/isodoodle.png" alt="Another Bright Idea!" width="493" height="402" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Another Bright Idea!</p></div>
<p>I was pretty pleased with the way it came out and so were the clients. I got the job. Hurrah!&#8230;.. kind of.</p>
<p>Then the pain started. Millions of tweaks and changes which all had to be done in full colour, financially disastrous but still.</p>
<div id="attachment_88" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 445px"><img class="size-full wp-image-88" title="Level one machine" src="http://www.squeakypics.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/l_1_machine.png" alt="Does any one know how to switch this thing on?" width="435" height="352" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Does any one know how to switch this thing on?</p></div>
<p>Now my clients had their own clients and they hadn&#8217;t been showing them any of this work. A shame really because when they did the response was &#8216; We don&#8217;t like the machine idea.&#8217;  End of project for Dave</p>
<p>Like I said. Sometimes things just don&#8217;t go according to plan.</p>
