Card meh.


Whoopa. I'm actually working for once.

I'm really excited about the projects that we are being assigned so far this semester. One particular one is about tattoos, where we basically develop our own design identity. Chris A. (my teach) encouraged us to go out and explore the "real world" of tattoos. So, spurred by his enthusiasm, I went and interviewed Nathan at the Voodoo Needle. I was a little intimidated at first, but he was really an awesome guy (with cool tats to boot).

With AUSAM coming up, I'm feeling a little bit apprehensive. I don't have any new prints since AWA, and I can't sell any y-stuff, which was the majority of our profit. Not that I'm expecting any profit from this anyway. So I'm really questioning why I'm going. XD I guess I'll see how the homework is on Sat. So, here are the new business cards for this year. I think they look spiffier than last year (mainly the positioninng, I think...And the lack of spoon-to-mouth-stuffing).

Parasitism

Dude, I love doing finished drawings 'cause I can double-post on dA and blogger. What a lazy bum.
I've been doodling like crazy to try to get a new print before AUSAM (auburn's first "convention" which is more like a regular gathering of the anime society but with alot more anime playing in more rooms at foy) but failing like crazy. >,>;; Nothing's really a coherent "peice" like I used to do anymore.
I only have three classes this semester, all of which seem rather daunting because I've never really touched anything of them before.
a) Anthropometry--the teacher is actually a taiwanese lady, who's really sweet. But her class intimidates me because I know she knows my parents, which really puts me in a hard place to perform well in the class. >,>;;
b) History of Design--this class, by the first day, has already bored me shitless. But I hope it'll get better once we dive into the material.
c) 3-D design, which I haven't taken yet, but am excited to have my good buddy Chris Arnold as a teacher for. :D Poor Chris.
Anyway, This is a product of boredom from my lovely Design history class. It even has a charming little story (which has extremely simple language) to go along with it.
Toodles.

So once, there was a tree. And it held in its branches, the universe. It sat in this white room, a room without walls, simple blankness. The tree was massive, with branches the size of elephants, so big that even the tinest twig could crush a couple humans by simply falling. But as time passed, the tree began to shrink in size; the once-strong branches shriveling into just a skeleton of what it used to be. And the tree knew, its time was coming; it could no longer bear the weight of this grand thing that leeched away it's life. So, it sent out its seeds, tiny but determined, into the vast space of the orb, searching for a being that could feed the universe and keep it alive.Lo and behold, the seed landed in the heart of a human. But by the time the seed had led the girl out of the orb, the tree had already crumpled; its spirit long gone into the white nihility. Stricken with grief, the seed burrowed itself deep into the woman's heart where it began to sprout. It ate away at the arteries, the soft organic mass that composed her lovely mortal part until it became large enough to bear the burden of the orb. And slowly, the girl and the tree become one; a brutal but necessary parasitism.

I know I should be working on the comic...but I'm tired of black and white and ugly things.. ;0; I was meant to draw beautiful things. I'm so superficial.But srsly. Doodles. And I'm back to work.

I draw characters facing the same way alot. It seems to be that I favor facing the left side! I need to work on that. I watched superbad with sarah today--it was...long. XD I wonder if guys really talk to eachother like that--it's so crude. But admittedly funny in parts. And I thought I was a perv. I miss reading, what little I did. T__T I needs fuels for my peanut brains. Final Fantasy is an alright replacement for now. But I think I'll be done soon! AHAHAHA<
New year's is almost here.
Page count: 12/20 so far..;0; 8 left...
I'm inking 13!!

because deer hats are teh smex...


Happy Christmas eve guys! :D
Of course, the sketchblog is dead as expected. I've been caught in the tumultuous world of comic deadlines for this break...but there's still some kind of masochistic pleasure in finishing a page completely and being able to admire its many mistakes. Even though my family is buddhist, I do like to help out the economy by putting some small change into the market--books, books, books, cd's, and random stuff here and there for family and friends. I was totally planning to send out xmas cards...but of course, that didn't happen--LOL>
Another, year. Another christmas...this year seemed to be three separate years to me. I have never felt this drained before in my life--I think burnout from summer op is really getting to me now; I never want to go back to class!
Anyway, I should get back to inking, but, for the record:
I WAS ON.
And. I TOTALLY STILL KEEP UP WITH YO' LJ B. Soo..here's my friend Sarah's character, Daniel (COW>>AHAHAHHAHAHA). the first in my cheap line of xmas gifts. XD

ERSTUFF


This is my latest commission work that I just printed and sent; Demon Eyes Kyo from Samurai Deeper Kyo. I had a huge problem capturing his character :\ I feel vaguely sick. Dinner wasn't good; chocolate and a large mocha. I need to learn to eat better. I'm excited about the theme for this week though I can't draw cars to save my life...LOL. Stephen, you rock the house. <3

daylight is shorter despite daylight savings...


I love this new apple cinnamon tea I got...I've been drinking it like crazy. The cinnamon flavor is so strong that it numbs my tongue. XD
Anyway, I did a quick sketch (prob..10 min or so?) on Open Canvas 1.1, which I highly suggest everyone try... Download it HERE
I'm not looking forward to studio on Monday..ahaha. These days seem to slug by--I just can't wait until thanksgiving ;.;.

QUICKSKETCH!!


I totally slacked off these days on this...I guess I just got a bit depressed because I had such high expectations for the blog--but live and learn. Winter treats my temperament badly...some days I'll be in high spirits and others, like today, I totally feel exhausted and just sad. I went and bought a box of honey grahams cereal and plowed through the entire thing and half a carton of soymilk along with a bag of butterfinger crisps. LOL--I hope there aren't too many days like this!
Anyway, here's a quick post...I really liked this girl's fashion. I haven't focused too much on clothes since like...10th/11th grade, so it's nice to get back a lil bit of fashion sense. I love the fall fashions now (though they don't suit my body as much). BTW--ANATOMY IS OFF TOTALLY I KNOOOWWWWW..sorry. XD
I'm going to go and snuggle with Wicked now and eat more chocolate. XD
