Get Organized!

I just realized that if for any reason, employers look here, they'll see how unorganized I am and all of my flaws. I was going to make a list of drawings I haven't finished--two come to mind (two featured on this very blog) but then I realized there's probably a bit more (READ a bit = a lot) that I haven't finished and I guess I'm supposed to make myself look good at all times.

Forget it. It's my blog:

Drawings
-Lickitung/Pacole (might forget about for now)
-The Weird Family Breakfast (might change background/deciding on the style)
-Tea Time Nuri w/ Prinnies (gonna rehash the background, I think)
-Shirt idea for friend
-weekly sketches!!!!! (need a new smaller sketchbook. The big ones can be for bigger projects that I leave at home)

Drawing Projects
-graphic novel
-web comic (???)

Animation
-walk cycles (of a penguin, I think)

Group Projects (Animation)
-PP

I have so much I want to do. I'm not sure if I'm trying to learn how to fly before I crawl here or what but man. I had an interview last week and then went out of town for Easter---when I have something big like an interview going on, I tend to ignore everything else and focus on that one thing--which is bad. I need to learn to multitask.

I made a postcard for a friend--picked up watercolors for the first time in a while. I don't like how it turned out so I'll probably redo it but I'll post what I have in a sec. Or maybe tomorrow. <_<;

Mission Accomplished!


Fun on a bun! I'm extremely proud of this and more could be done to it but I did learn a lot from my mistakes and tried some new things so my regrets are minimal/non-existent. Still, I'm very proud of this and I don't have an exact reason why--I want to show everyone I know this which is actually unlike me.

Onward to finishing more projects! :D



...or more tomfoolery (inspiration)!

Oh Mah Guudness

I can't believe my lame fan art actually made it to the gallery--he's really nice to his fans:

by Micheal "Mookie" Terracciano. Check it out from start to finish!

Still Working/Sidetracked

Sidetracked with:





Working on this still:




Trying to clean up the line quality (is a bit tedious). Trying to improve on the way I typically do these sorts of drawings. :p

Silver Moon Creations

For all the three people that read this, check out my friend's Etsy shop. She makes girly things...and what not. But I'm proud of her so I'm advertising it here!

Used Gimp For The First Time!

And I'm getting the hang of it. I miss having the toolbox and the work space linked and the Navigator feature Photoshop has but I like it otherwise. I worked on a birthday card for someone yesterday. Reference pictures for this:
 
 
 
 







I didn't quite finish but I showed what I had. Started out with blue lines for sketchy times, as usual:


Made notes for accessories on the side (I think I forgot a few things, even). This one will be challenging but challenges are good, right? Anyways, I drew lines:



Had to redo these twice--I still plan to go back and change the face (I'm worried it doesn't look feminine enough. Also, I just got some of the facial proportions wrong). Okay, okay--flat color's next (usually my favorite part)



Adding color helps me see stuff better--I also added a colored background just to see if the white covered parts completely---I don't intended to use this monochromatic background for long (it'd be nice to draw a plane/Macross mobie suit in the background or a docking port or something.) Anyways, I added more layers after that:



Layers: Shadows, Visor, Makeup (yes, makeup)--I still need Highlights, though. More later this morning before I go to work! Not finished but I won't lie--I'm feelin' smug. There's a lot that needs to be done to this!

Updated My Site

At last!

I'll be doing more art works now and today, I think I'll try some 2D animation to add to my arsenal! :O

As for 3D...I'll have to borrow an external hard drive to bring my Maya stuff from my laptop to my desktop and work with my old characters and/or download some free rigs from CGTalk (I used Bloke and lot and messed around with the Andy rig a bit)

My newest drawing on deviantART


I'm thinking one drawing a day/week and one project a month (project: animation or any drawing with multiple characters and elaborate drawing, like The Weird Family Breakfast thing).
