Doctor Who SP

quick little speed paint cause I've been watching doctor who all day and this is a lil taste of season 2 episode 12!

speed paints and sketching

Speed paint!! Photo from http://nelleke.deviantart.com/. she has some awesome photos. I like the compositions in them! I'm definately going back to her gallery and stealing her work to paint.. i mean... use as reference... I also decided to wonder around downtown SJ today and ran into James Morgan (adviser for the Game Dev Club and Teacher in the Digital Media dept) at Caffe Frascati (cafe trieste). I sketched a bit while i was there :) The people sketches i stopped early cause it got annoying and the stuff i did well was getting worse. 

time: way too long

MERRY CHRISTMAS :D

Here it is! The Christmas Day post! Here are a couple sketches I've done in the past few days and then after those I have my color rendering final from last semester. Unfinished, but ill go back and fix it sometime during the break! 

AFTER that I posted my most recent work. My friends and I had this secret santa Illustration thing and my recipient was Hannah Duenwald! One of her songs of choice was 1985 by bowling for soup. I kinda went on a Tangent with this... I gathered the song was about a person who is living the life of a house wife/mom and she is not fulfilling her dreams. I wasn't quite feeling it!  so i took the dreams aspect and the quadrillion paths a person can go and then I was like wait whenever i imagine that kind of stuff I'm in this dark forest with a bunch of paths, and then since i am a gamer nerd I thought of Kokiri village/forest/temple from Ocarina of time and bam, that's how i got to here. Now that I think about it i should have used Saria as reference for the girl.... >_<  I hope she like it... MERRY CHRISTMAS HANNAH!! I'll be continuing work on this after today... cause i actually liked doing this a lot and I want to finish... lol

The Semester of Pain ended nicely!

Hey Hey

This past semester has been the most depressing semester in college for various reasons. Drama practically consumed the latter half of my semester causing me to hit a wall in my drawing and painting... I feel like a backtracked about a year... sigh... It ended nicely though. I got over whatever issues i was having and moved onward! My color rendering turned out pretty well too. It has been  awhile since I got a project to a point where i am actually satisfied with it. for now... its not perfect but it'll do for now. I'll go back to it sometime during winter break!
winter break plans:
1. DRAW EVERY DAY. NO EXCEPTIONS
2. I gotta get my figure drawing skill up
3. Level 1 of the video game i'm working on is still not done... so i must finish it
4. speed painting everyday.
5. Film studies, gonna watch a film and board every change of camera angle to learn how they compose the shot
6. relax... a lil bit...

I'll upload my color rendering once I figure out why my scanner is being lame!

The Most Amazing Drive Home Ever!

I left the art building around 6:15 after finishing my color grid to find the foggiest I had ever seen San Jose be... I get in my car and start my drive home and literally couldn't see anything. Scared to death, I started to get on the highway and I notice how awesome everything looked. it felt like I was zooming through space and time or something and the only other things i could see were the other space travelers zooming by with there lights on, and then i noticed the fog and all the lights shooting through it and the amazing colors I saw. I think i just saw my color grid with all the values. all the colors and everything was amazing. :) the colors were dancing. Its  moments like these that makes the struggle to learn worth while!

i shouldn't be doing this at 5:30 in the morning...

i had started this a long time ago and busted out the actual big sized comp in about and hour... im not really happy with it... so im gonna go back to the basic black and white shape and work from that cause i really like the shapes in it... blah!!

stuff to do ha ha... save me!
