Ugh...
Animation is taking its toll on me. Also the spontaneous creativity that we need to bust out for Cliff's background class. So here's something I did as a freshman in uni. I still like it and should probably do technical pen more often.

Moar Artstuffs
These are the only good life-drawing sketches I've ever done. Seriously, I need to learn this crap. Hopefully Tina's animal drawing class will help me!
This was my first project in Illustrator. We had to make a poster for the X-Games. I think it came out pretty well.

I promise I won't forget about you, bloggo!
I've decided to use this blog as my gallery now, since my website is incomplete and looks like, well, crap.
This semester hasn't been productive in terms of finished pieces yet. But my animation is getting really close to finished, which is great because I won't be stressing out. The hardest part will be the effects, which I am having a tough time with. I made a pretty decent nuclear explosion in flash and a flame cycle last semester and thought LOL I SHOULD DO EFFECTS, but it's been waaay harder than I thought. I bought a book called Elemental Magic, which was recommended by the creator of Bitey's Castle, so we'll see how that goes. I also got both of Walt Stanchfield's books because I suck at life drawing sketches. I can make finished pieces and structures just fine, but drawing while things are moving or even just nice-looking gestures while holding still seems to have always been a problem for me.
Over the summer if I don't get an internship, I'm going to take some art classes at Coastline Community College. They have two brush painting classes, which I'd love to take because I need to learn to paint with SOMEthing. There's a life drawing class that I'll definitely be taking even if it is a beginning one. My goal this summer is to get life drawing down and hopefully this teacher will be able to help me. They also have an airbrushing course, which could be fun, but I'm still iffy on that.
For a class that I'll actually get credit for, I'll be taking the Art History course that spans from 1500s to the present.
Okay yeah this was a long post. So here's a bunch of pictures I've done before this semester.
