Sad Sad Day

My initial reaction yesterday was, "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!" give or take a few letters.
Today, I'm just more bummed than anything.
I found out that a project that I was working on as a potential pitch for a feature film is remarkably similar to one that is already in pre-production, and is set to star Hugh Jackman in the lead role. While my story was different, the overall concept is very much the same. It was going to be centered around a sort of UFC for robots, with human's remote controlling them. A near future version of those battle bots and mech wars. A concept that is not all that original anyway, *cough*robot*jox*cough*, but it hadn't been done in a while. I thought I was being clever by bringing it back.

Oh well.

So here's the concept art I drew up for one of the bots that I was modeling for a proof of concept scene. I might finish the model, just as a reel bit. But I'm gonna give up on the rest of it and move on to a different project now.
