just for fun

Just a photoshop doodle. trying to find a comfortable painting style.

hey, this is the first art-oriented blog that I've been pretty consistent with! (:
Usually I say I'm going to do daily posts and then end up posting every 6 months.
Hopefully this one will be different.

daaarr so many other things to do. for now it's: organize my room (eek ._.), start building a children's book illustration portfolio, work on animating, wait for news.
BTW for those who applied to Disney, I gave them a nervous call yesterday and they said that they're running late with the selection process, so they will probably let people know next week. So...yea.

post-it doodle dump

I meant to post this a while ago.....whoops.

This is what happens when I get bored in class...these are from my animal drawing final critique, which wasn't boring, per se...but at times it was more like individual evaluations so my mind started wandering.

yay for post-its! and random bags!

3 Page Comic

Here's my final project for sequential art. The assignment was for a 3-page comic, but alas I couldn't fit my story into so few pages. It's probably not very understandable, since it's like a fragment instead of a sentence. Hopefully the last page will clarify things a little. I don't know if I'll be able to finish it, but it was fun... I'm not quite satisfied with the first two pages. Feedback, please! if you care to give it (:

work progress!

cleaned up victorian pigs for animation:




and the red car:


I think i'm pretty much going to stop here with this. thanks for the feedback! (:
there are still issues but I am crunched for time. May fix the ground later if I have time.


this week is crazy!

car frustrations!

please tell me what you think?

it's oddly dissatisfying to me. I still have to change some parts/add dust...but I can't figure it out.
It's only slightly different (in my mind) but I think I still liked it better before photoshop crashed.

Oh yea, I'll fix the people.

and this was my inspiration. Kinda. :

I'm trying something called constructive procrastination. This is where I at least accomplish something while I put off homework. In this case, updating this again.

Red Car illo- in progress - photoshooop



reference:




gee. i'm not so fond of cars.
why can't i have a prof who's ridiculously fond of puppies or something.

Croc 3

this was before i decided to give them teeth and back ridges..



i know! those don't really look like wings.



this one is dedicated to my friend, who has managed to be a Marine without the ability to swim. it's actually quite an accomplishment...

Texture Practice again!

There is only about 3? weeks left of school....and considering how much I have left to do, I should be at my 90% stress level right now...eek.

But I just finished submitting stuff for an internship so I just can't get into the work-like-mad-and-get-it-done zone. I spent class working on more texture practice today:



Bark this time. I walked around a few weeks earlier just taking pictures of random textures. There's something about this one though...I think maybe it's just the brush settings I have but the color seems a bit desaturated. Also, it's not...jagged...enough. ah well.

Attempting to work!

ha. everything looks better when it's smaller!

Up late working on my portfolio, so here! have a tree!



my scanner naturally butchered the colors. they're pretty off. :C
