Acri'amol History

Need to get back to the groove of coming up with compositions, and realized I could probably do a series out of my dark lord Acri'amol's evolution throughout history. So far I've only come up with two stories, one set somewhere in what would be considered the Mongolian Plains...

(Not too keen with this draft, kinda want to show more the underbelly and height difference)

...and then the finale before he got sealed away.

At the least I should push for 6, and at best maybe 8-10 stories.

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.

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.

Doodle and Cartoons

I just realized now why I don't doodle paint as much- all my classes are practically studio there's no time to doodle,
except for Interdisciplinary Critique, if I keep to the back of the class.

3D Anim 2 wise I did okay and updated my bouncing ball cycles but now we've got a pendulum and obstacle course to deal with. The perk of having Segal as a teacher is that he plays all kinds of fun DVDs like Richard William's DVD Animator's survival kit, and running commentaries/documentaries on Looney Tunes or Popeye (<that was super fascinating to listen/watch).

End of June and plans for this blog

So- finally got a mess of classwork sketches and notebook pics sorted out, and while I will be uploaded and backposting all of them (i'm that nutty on timeline 8| ), the plan is to use this blog to upload stuff that I normally don't upload in my Deviantart account.

So-
-post all Real Life/outdoor sketches that I've done in my classes or sketchbook, and comment on them.
-post artwork/ WIP artwork with some commentary of it's process.
(Well since I'm backpedalling my previous classes I can't remember a lot of the pointers or processes that went into them unfortunately.)
-any concept art, regardless of how extremely sketchy it may be. Might as well start somewhere.

So what do I have in my Photoshop bucket that's in the works?

Sleeping with the Fishes, a redo of an old concept art -

-This fugly old one.
