Oh dear lord I WANT THIS


Not only do I want this issue, I want the fantasy art and comic art issues.

Not only do I want those three issues, I want a year subscription. or two. But especially this issue, because I LOVE Mass Effect and the art and the world and the design of the aliens. Dude, Garrus and Thane were amazingly designed. I want to knnnoooowww.


Like my first Illustrator attempt? I used a Mouse. A track mouse. A MAC ONE.

But anyway.


Hi Dave. <3

Four feet tall?

My first homework assignment was to draw a figure in winter clothing.

Sounds easy, right?

The figure needs to be four feet tall.

WOAH! I draw in sketchbooks! My largest drawings are on my 18x24 sketchpad!

Well. Now I feel lame.


Does this work?
No. You spent about no time on this homework. GET YOUR PRIORITIES IN ORDER!

So what is this?

I don't have a smart phone.

I don't really want a smart phone.

Let me rephrase, I WANT a smartphone, but I can't afford one.

So what the heck is this?


Apparently, this would take anyone who HAS a smartphone to my "e-portfolio" for my digital design class. The website itself is really boring right now... It has a banner and some other random writing assignments for the course. 

But we're talking about making business cards. I'm a little excited about that! I could give out random business cards that take people here, for instance.

But my blog is kinda lame-o right now.
Because I don't draw enough.
Because I don't have time.
To do anything.
Ever.


Anyway, I'll keep you posted on the whole "business card" thing. I want an elephant on mine.

Even though that really has nothing to do with anything.

Well Hello Thur.

Yeesh it's been forever since I updated.

But I'm back in school now, which means the creative juices are flowing again, and the whole "I work all the time" and "I just want to play video games" thing is replaced by competitiveness with my classmates for "most improved", and more ideas presented to me and inspiration from my peers.

Gotta work on that whole "motivation" and "Inspiration" thing.

One of my courses is intro to Digital Art, and I made several versions of a banner with one of my drawings and some pictures I took. After working them over, I've got these three as my favorites.


Version A: Compositionally edited, however I left the levels and such as they were.


Version B: YELLOOOWWWW <3


Version C: And a similar image to the second, but cooler colors and a little darker.

If I had to pick one, I like version B best. However since this was an assignment where we had to have three layers and one of them needed to be an illustration and the other two needed to be pictures and it needs to be 200x800 and blaah blaah blaah...

I don't really like it much at all. I can DO assignments, but I prefer creative freedom in a prompt.

I like my current banner better.


...I think I'm going to switch this to my banner on this website, too. Seems a little more professional. And my piggy Bacon McHampork is in it.

Alright. I'll probably have to tell everyone that I'm active again, all four of my followers.
