I only ever posted the finished version of the rider, so I’m reposting him with his creature. Sorry about the lack posts; I’ve been pretty reserved lately, playing video games, reading, and drawing exclusively in my sketchbook. Been very moody about my work… I have 3D illustration work I could share, but I sort of don’t want to? I think it’s very mediocre. Eh.

A couple months old. Work, sketches, ideas for a comic I plan on doing. Mostly experimenting between digitally inking, working with comics (it’s been a while), and coloring. I think I prefer my work with flat colors. It allows me to still be extremely sketchy while clear. I think my work is starting to take a better direction, but I don’t know. I wish I had more work to show you guys, but I’m not going to be posting a bunch of storyboards I did from my animation class haha.

Poster & Alien

Alright, so this is the finished rider to an alien creature (which I still want to go back to and touch up) I posted a while back. I’m pretty happy with this except for maybe the background. I had a really shitty day today, and week actually. Been thinking about all the stuff I have to do, not feeling well and sleeping too much. Just want to doodle dumb shit, but feel obligated to do otherwise. Anyway, tell me what you think, if you have any suggestions for improvements it’d be much appreciated. I still think I need lots of improvement on refinement.

So this is a poster of a doll that I’ve been working on in my 3D illustration class, so it’s also concept art, kinda. I’ve been working on my resume and cover letter to apply for internships in the Boston area. I’m naming the doll Cuidightheach, which is an old Celtic name meaning “Helpful” (If you’ve any idea on its correct pronunciation please send me a message because I’m pretty sure I’m pronouncing it wrong and can’t find anything on the web to correct myself). I need to download more fonts, fonts that have better readability and that I still enjoy. There are other things I want to touch up before posting, but I suck and have finals and end of the year critique wavering over my head like a big ol’ mean storm and I gotta take care of that.

On another note, I’ve watched the first to episodes of Korra and I’m all about that show. I might do some fanart of Korra and maybe even the Last Air bender since I love the fuck out of that show too. If I do there’s still a chance that I hide it away in my sketchbook like a jerk, only time will tell.

Ommetaphobia or Ommatophobia

Fear of Eyes. He's afraid of them so he tears them out to throw them. A simple picture and a more detailed view of the sculpture/ figurine.

Also from my phobias and obsessions class.

In the future, when it's warmer, I plan on taking a photo of this little guy outside in a more natural setting.

After the crit the teacher mentioned it reminded him of Red Nose Studio, and I assure you that was completely unintentional. In my more rough sketches I usually draw noses as triangles and wanted his body to be an exaggeration of a really rough sketch you might see in my sketch book, but eh... I dunno. Any resemblance was completely by accident.

Class Assignments and One personal WIP (The first one)

Algebraic

Okay, I have a lot to say and everything I just typed up and posted in the past half hour randomly got deleted or whatever the fuck...so here's the break down.

PERSONAL LIFE: Essentially caught up in school. No more working on assignments that are past-due or late. I have homework from this past Monday through Thursday to work on, something I think I can cope with. Still been a little sickly, but mostly from lack of sleep. Trying to touch base with my teachers, resolve everything. Financial crisis's are being dealt with. Issues with former close old friends are being ignored, because I don't need that stress and am sick of being the adult. Got a new job. Quit the old job.

PAX EAST: So, I went to PAX this past weekend, it was fun, but not as fun as it could have been. I wanted to goto game development and concept art panels, but my friends and boyfriend were too preoccupied trolling around the convention drinking and dancing. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but a little off course for me. I also was still tackling stress from issues yet to be completely resolved. In the future I'm making a point to hit up panels I need/want to go see, regardless if it's alone or with another group. On a side note... For the convention I stayed up two nights straight working on sewing two backpacks and two hats from Adventure Time  for my friend Stephen (as Finn) and I (as Fiona) to cosplay. I don't have images at the moment, but in one of my future posts I'll be sure to include them for each costume. I'm also supposed to cosplay for Anime Boston as Veronica from Fallout New Vegas and as scout from TF2 per requests of a couple friends... not sure if that'll happens, but I'll be reusing Fiona regardless, 'cause she's the tops.

ART: Unfortunately I haven't had time to work on personal work so much as just do homework, homework, homework and oh, more homework. My plan is to do even more homework... then sketch out some ideas, do some studies, do some more homework, then probably die. All I want to do is play the vidya games, damnet. PLEASE give me some crity and suggestions. I would highly appreciate it :3

Sketches of Cagney being a jerk.

AND JUNK: So, I love movies. I love books. You can expect to see brief comments on what I've watched and read... So, I watched "Everything is Illuminated". I read the book too. The movie was alright, pretty good. The book was trash. It was strung together with simple, puerile cliches, themes and motifs. Some sections of the book make absolutely no sense... there's no reason for it to be in the book other than for the author trying REALLY hard to be deep and edgy. The story itself is narrated through: 1. Letters between the two protagonists 2. The story of their very rigid search that the protagonists are writing and editing together. 3. Jonathan's ancestors' story and history, also included in the book the characters are writing. The movie was based off a combination of the letters and the story of their search--by far the better instances of the book. I wouldn't suggest the book to anyone unless they were looking to be disappointed.

I've also been reading War of the Worlds, which has generally been pretty good. Then I lost it somewhere during PAX weekend. I'm hoping it's in my boyfriend's car lol Otherwise, OOPS. Started Post Office by Bukowski this morning and am already half way through with it. Very good, he's always a favorite.
