Orange- Ink, Photoshop

This is just me trying out a different technique thing (the center triangle object) and using a new red pen i got, but photoshop decided it would look a lot cooler of it were orange.. maybe a tattoo? maybe just a drawing? dont know. I actually drew this a few months ago, but forgot about it in a different drawing pad and never put it up, but its up now so ha!

Ramble III

Ya, that kid is pretty much how I feel lately. I am pretty sick of the DMA department in general at good ol' HU. First off last year they added freaking broadcasting to the DIGITAL MEDIA ARTS department.. really broadcasting.. their showcase was even weaker than the film department's.

speaking of film.. Screw them. I had to change classes because there were two storyboarding and concept classes and one was for film and the other one was for animation... easy fix.. give it a new dang name..

Film students are always so concerned with their own ideas and own projects that they dont give a crap what is going on around campus, everyone must cease what they are doing and stop and listen to their stupid ideas that are being filmed in the middle of the darn mall.. I for one am sick of the entire DMA department all together. I mean animation is great and all, but I really want to be more of a flourishing artist, rather than a pretentious short film maker... I used to see animation as an art form, and actually do enjoy doing it, it's just the upper lever classes and work that has to be done on a computer with no paint or canvases in sight, surrounded by a bunch of home schooled kids who were locked in the closet and played video games all day in the middle of summer... it just looses it's appeal after a while, where as doing art for various companies, maybe even working right along side those geeky freaks in the making of something would be alright, but this slow progressive forceful clamp that has film and animation being made into one thing is all wrong. Just because they work in the same building and use some of the same materials, does not make film and animation equals. Animation, is obviously far more superior in story telling ability, artwork, technique, use of thought, and just all around more skill in just about everything that the even more freaking annoying film kids are...
So what i'm trying to say is that Graphic Design even tastes better coming out of my mouth than animation, or film does... so idk... deal with it.

Ramble II

Well.. this summer blows.. I am trying to find some sort of work, and in the mean time struggling to find some motivation to get my a in gear and actually do some work. I have started a few things, but getting the ball rolling is always the hardest part. I am working on a friend's tattoo right now, and considering getting one of my own.. Looking for some inspiration, but it will probably look like something from Ian miller, mixed with Escher, well hopefully, I mean I'm not as good as them, but that's what were gonna aim for.

In other news this summer sucks, oh I already said that.. But! I have a car, and next year at good ol' Huntington is gonna rock my socks, especially since all but one of my classes have to do with drawing ( although I normally try to make every class have something to do with drawing (my notes art will be coming soon)). Well this ramble is not nearly as theological or interesting as the other one, I guess I could talk about how my church is becoming a cult of technologically mind washed lemmings, but I'll save that for another night... toodles..

Seppuku -Ink

work in process

well I havent posed anything in a while and I figured I'd post what I've been working on lately.. to be honest i was at a stalemate and didn't do a whole lot other than my school work.. but now that that is done with it means inking all summer and diving into some Adobe Illustrator stuff. woo!

Well this piece started out as something crazy that I wanted to try and practice on my patterns and such, but then turned into a quite interesting idea. The figure committing seppuku is like satan unleashing all of his bondage onto man and it covers them in sin and blinds them and binds their arms. but through prayer we can be freed, such as the patterns that have been torn. Just a thought. I don't know what else to do but ill prolly put up a finished piece some time..

Judges

-digital

This was an assignment for class that we had to do using corel painter, a program which i despise, I much prefer photoshop, so that is what I used. I valued the piece of work rather than the assignment and really grew fond of this blue ghostlike character and wanted to make it seem like he was see through with these sort of darker organs inside of him that were suspended.

Overall I really like the idea of the project of creating something more realistic from children's drawings and especially like the monster theme.
