Last-Last Week

Hella late post. (I really like the word 'hella.' XD) I've somehow secured a free night for myself in the middle of the finals madness.

2012-04-26 Color Grid

Color grid took FOREVER. You remember me complaining about it a post or two ago. >___> It turned out okay. Could be better. But pretty good considering the lack of patience I had with it.

Figure Drawing 2012-04-27

Had a really good session that week. Especially like the last long pose, even if the head is a little big. She just has a big forehead, okay! DX These are the only 3 figure drawings to span these 2 weeks. Last week's drawing session was a disaster. I hadn't slept in 2 days and I kept falling over in the middle of my drawings. I ended up with a bunch of really messy, half-complete sketches that weren't worth posting.

I also have scans of the puppets I/we (we're called Pie Puppetry XD) made and a fabric study along with all the stuff I did last week and this week. The images need editing, though, and I just wiped my computer Wednesday. I still need to reinstall photoshop and whatnot, so I'll upload them later once that's done. Sunday maybe. Or Monday. Or when finals end. >____> We shall see.

PASSED MY PORTFOLIO REVIEW

I'll get around to uploading my work these past 2 weeks, but in the mean time, I PASSED MY PORTFOLIO REVIEW. So here's the final version of what I submitted.

Spring Break is Overrrr ;-;

I was simultaneously very busy and not very productive this Spring Break. I made no new prints for AX, didn't renew my passport, and left nearly all my homework for the last day. However, I hung out with friends that returned for the break, made progress on AX plans, and did manage to finish all my homework in the end.

I ALSO THINK MY ANIMATION REEL DID VERY WELL. AND THAT I MIGHT GET AN INTERNSHIP AT A GAME COMPANY THIS SUMMER. :DDDDDDD

OH AND MY PIE SCRIPT GOT CHOSEN TO BE PRODUCED. It got changed to a puppet show due to time constraints, so maybe you'll see cute puppet show props on my blog in the near future.

Ahem. Work these past 2 weeks:

Paintings

2012-03-20

... Actually I'm starting off with that painting midterm I couldn't post since the teacher collected it. We had to paint with acrylic, in color, a still life with a yellow egg, a white paper cube, and an eggplant on midtone cloth.

This is the project I stayed up all night for on the last day of my spring break. Haven't pulled a real all-nighter in a while. I didn't even start dozing off until 10am. It's a still life rendering from photograph, done in acrylic. The photograph should be somewhere in my older posts. (Here.) 

3D Animation

fin 2012-04-03

This is the midterm reel I am relatively proud of. I used the song mostly because its name is my English name. A friend tells me its really depressing, though. I think I'll change it. Also people keep asking me if I played the song myself, SO NEXT TIME I WILL! >D I can play this song. Or part of it at least. >_>

Things to fix: Moving pendulum is a bit too fast. Heavy ball (checkered) might also be a bit fast. I also want to use better textures for that scene and add a mirror behind the boy doing ballet. (This other guy in our class used mirrors! I'm going to learn how!) I am going to refrain for animating him doing an entire ballet sequence. XD

I also revised the walk I posted last time a bit, but I'm too lazy to upload it. You'll get to see it when I upload my animation final reel.

Figure Drawing

2012-03-23

I did quite a few figures the week before break. The model had amazing poses. I forgot these 7 drawings the last time I posted.

2012-04-06

It took a long time to get into drawing this week. I worked on long poses since the teacher said my portfolio needed more long poses.

Work

2012-03-28

Poster for our school's Percussion Ensemble. My work place is affiliated with them, so I often design posters for them. Next time I'll try to upload them sooner so people actually see the poster before the concert. >_>

wip2 2012-04-07

Update to the "No Shoes" sign I'm making for work. My first WIP is on tumblr if not here. I'm almost done. Just need to add more clutter to fill up empty space. And the first 2 panels are missing the cushion that's on the shoe shelves/benches.


That's it for this week.
