Happy Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day!

Big Small Project for M. Komza's Layout class. The graticule is sideways.

My first flash animation EVER. We had to use a motion tween, shape tween, 3D tween, classic tween, and rig a character in adobe flash. Frustratingly fun now that I think about it.

Lastly, at the request of one of my followers, my work environment... part of it at least.

Things on the desk: monitors, water bucket, brushes, cellphone, scanner, printer paper, gouache palette, cup of coffee, pencil case, gouache paint, roll of masking tape, toilet paper, tablet pen

Things on the wall: 2 achromatic gouache studies, to do list, addresses, master list deadline sheet, weekly class schedule, improvement list, nostalgic crumpled drawing of a broken foot.

Things on the chair: sweater, leggings, brushes canvas (where I keep my brushes), pencil crayons, painting I'm currently working on. 

Things on the floor: recycling, garbage can, candy jar, chocolate covered peanuts, chinese food bag, tablet, socks, sketchbook.

Hope you're all having ice cream for breakfast.

More to come soon!

Need More Chocolate and Tea

I should not even be on here right now...
But I feel like I've spent too much of my life on this bone project right now. Anyway, end of semester is pretty intense.... Did I say not as crazy or stressful as I expected it to be? Well then, I lied right through my teeth. Haven't had the time to scan in my dailies either... been doing them, just not digitally.

Anyway we had this project for character design class where we had to pick and artist and research their background and what we could learn from their art so I chose Jeff Simpson who I really admire, more so now that I've creeped his "stupid teenager" journals on dA. We also had to design our own character based on our research... Here's how mine turned out:

What is anatomy...?? Hahaha...

Actually this was easier than I expected it to be even though it turned out nothing like Jeff's stuff. But his method (or what I could decipher from pictures) was really really realllllyyyyy fun. Really need to do more digital work over the winter break.

Painting class thumbnail hax

I still find it hilarious that this is acceptable...

Aaaannnndddd....
Guess who as a human??

Anyway, enough procrastinating... Back to the grind. Gah.

Some of the Stuff I've Been Working On

You'd think that during reading week, when one has a whole week off, one could find some time to update ze blog. Clearly this was not the case. Unfortunately that blog updating time was rudely interrupted by holy-shit-Team-Fortress-2-halloween-event-devil-tail-for-pyro-must-get time. Even more so unfortunately I didn't get that damn tail-of-the-crypt.

Anyway, excuses aside, here are some life drawings that Mark Thurman did not particularly like over some other particular life drawings.

Also to add to my streak of unfortunateness, I didn't make the life drawing wall-of-fame this week. It made my heart hurted. Apparently there are somethings I do not know about life drawing. I must dissect some brains and do more studies.

These were actually quite fun because I've never done just torsos before. I enjoyed very much trying to figure them out.

Other than that I went to costumed life drawing. What should I work on? Is there a book on costumed life drawing anyone would like to reccommend?

And now a combination of the two! Almost naked bodies! She's wearing a starfish ok?

Kinda wanna colour these. I mean all the work on the line art would be such a waste if I didn't.

And that's that for that. I leave you with this stress relieving just for fun doodle. Somehow despite this never ending work I managed to squeeze out some fan art.

More stuff to come soon!

P.S. Happy Birthday Aethyr. :)
