bleh

Bad, bad day. >_> Couldn't do my color doodle of the day, or any of the things I really wanted to do because of it. Spent the wee hours of the morning just doodling Necromancer ideas and designs with a friend.

Pixar Internship Results and Reaction

Well. I finally got word back from Pixar. I got rejected. No surprises there. 

Didn't stop me from my expressing how I feel and having fun with it. 

So besides this reaction, I'm hoping to spend the summer doing the following:

1) Watching something informative everyday- netflix documentary or online advice, something.

2) Finishing something 'artistic'- like the comic gag above or even better, I need to speed up my drawing skills and eventually my coloring but I need to crank out more stuff. 

But first I've got files to sort out.

Everything you need to know about Kalkie in 2 pages

These were (hastily) done comic strips on our second meeting in Graphics Novel Class. It's a little embarrassing gushing about myself-the last time I ever did so where in my Reflection papers back in High School-confidence, where did you go!? D8

But still, the class has been pretty insightful so far not only because of the technical aspects of comic making, but it just makes me excited to draw my own comics and apply everything that I learned.

Oh-and cause I'm a silly sap-comment note from teacher:
'Simply put, this may be the most technically proficient and gleefully enjoyable two-page bio comic I've come across. Can't wait to see more of your work.'


GLEEEEEEEEEEE. :D

Goodbye EfN Pages

Pictures taken at the 22nd.

So earlier this afternoon I mailed out to my former opponents the actual watercolor pages of my Escape from Nevara comic pages before I scanned them in and added text bubbles and etc. On one hand there's this beautiful sense of accomplishment at holding something like a year's worth of drawings and ideas put down unto paintings and comics, and on the other hand-it's taking up space. Which was why I was happy to mail these out to those who might appreciate these, a better fate than just gathering dust at some storage bin to be forgotten until the next clean up and nostalgia wave.

Being a chicken dork-I never got the chance to write to those people how happy I was I got to 'fight' them-got to use and draw their characters, and how being in that OCT led me to having some more confidence in my work, and meeting new friends and hell- even getting a school and scholarship from using some of these pages and writing up my EfN experience as my school letter! XD

I guess that's one reason why I took the plunge and decided to try for the Many Worlds OCT- to see if lightning will strike twice and I get lucky.

Though the major difference between these two OCTs was that I spent the first half of the year with no job and school, and lost in the semi-finals when I did go back for the fall semester. This is my senior year so it'll take some time management learning to juggle this and my school stuff. Here's hoping.

Today

Apart from that:
-Updated a bit of GGK Trees
-Did more Kingdom Hearts
-JJ taught me and lal how to do some abdomen exercises
-Mami Aum took me and JJ to San Ramon, they dropped me off at Marie's to play with Makennah again (oh gods I missed that baby so much, she was all hyper giggles and squeals tonights TvT) while they practiced some driving and came back to drop me off at Khandee's.
