I won't update here anymore.

New Art! Long time no see!

Sorry the last post is made of fail. For some reason Blogger wasn't resizing my files like it usually does. Oh well here's something to tie you guys over til I get the time to upload my stuff that I'm gonna turn in for reviews.

Figure Illustration 1 Drawings and Notes

GENTLEMEN

BEHOLD
MY BEAUTIFUL HAPHAZARD WALK CYCLE




WHOOT
It's a little dark because of youtube. ):<
I wish it had an HD option.

Von Bansik is a flirt

First test animation of the year. The timing is a little off, but my personal favorite is the ear flick.

Lipsync Animation to Ballroom Blitz

This is my WIP for an assignment in Steve's Tech 2 class. I'm having fun with it, but so far, its a lot of work.

I need to get the hell off the ground...out from under my feet

I have as any other artist had serious doubts in myself. I am afraid to fail, i'm afraid to be let down again, I feel like i'm going up the endless staircase in "Super Mario 64" (if anyone remembers that part in that game) and it feels like i'm going up all these steps and then you turn Mario around and you see that he hasn't gone anywhere. I haven't felt like Mario more than ever right now in that situation. I've even thought of taking a semester off, but I gotta keep going. There's too much at stake, other than my health problems, I have a lot of things to sort out through my mind to get through. And I guess I just gotta stay here at school and work it out and not give up even in the hardest times.

Heh, I even forget how you unlock the endless staircase. I think you need to do something in a different world. Maybe I really just need to go to another world to get where I want to go.

Here's a photo of the said endless staircase. This is a screenshot from Super Mario 64, its © to Nintendo. I'm just using it for a metaphoric example.


More animations and work posted later.

Richard Collab and art trade

Art trade with Courty of her bf's char, Dusky.


I got permission from Patrick to post this, actually he insist I post this. It's a good pic so I will. It's of his character Richard, that he colored and drew, and I shaded and highlighted him with a gel pen. Awesome collab if I do say so myself.

I got more like sketchbook stuff, but I gotta scan that. More badges coming soon too.

Edward Portrait

A portrait of Edward Cullen (from the Twilight Series) done by me, reference used from the move poster to get the actor's face right, and I touched it up in photoshop, but its mostly painted on Open Canvas 1.1

There's some things I could fix more on it, but i'll leave it at that. I really wanna try something like this on a canvas but with Dante. ^_^

Me and Ree are hopefully going to go to see Twilight on friday of MFF. And go to the Chicago AMC, SON. Excitment is building!

Also i'm getting together a portfolio to show at MFF in case people want to buy digital stuff from me later. And i'll be selling badges and prints there. The Sumi-E wolf painting will be up for a print and possibly my anthro city picture as well. I'll probably whip up some more full color things since those 2 are in greyscale.

Vehicle Critique

Ok heads up guys, i'm gonna be doing a commission which involves me drawing a motorcycle/scooter vehicle and I really am not familiar with drawing too many vehicles. I've done a few in the past, but then I don't draw them everyday, so I was wondering if anyone was up for critique or what not that's experienced with that. That'd rock. Also like links to tutorials or tips on how to color and shade said vehicles in photoshop would be AMAZING. I know I have some really awesome digital artists here that i'm linked up to, and if you guys would help, that'd be awesome.

That's all for now.

What I have coming soon are:

Starbar's Partial
5 new commissioned glow in the dark badges
The digital painting I mentioned above.

AFTER SEPTEMBER 2ND, ALL LARGE COMMISSIONS WILL BE HELD OFF UNTIL WINTER BREAK (date to be announced)

I WILL STILL ACCEPT BADGE, ICON, SKETCH, AND HEADSHOT COMMISSIONS.

Thanks and God bless. <3

Commission for Shiny Puppy

1st semester animatic. Never Too Late

Because i'm that lazy and I had people demand I post this.

Haphazard is a border collie/wolf hybrid character of mine that's tortured in a government lab. Test after test he wishes he could get away from this hell that his life is meant for he dreams of more. His luck changes for the better though when the scientist testing on him goes a little bit too far and ends up giving him a chemical SO strong, that he goes into berserk mode and kills the person who not only created him but tested on him. He escapes and flees into the woods so he can live a more peaceful, natural life.

Audio is "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace. I AM NOT SELLING THE SONG IN ANYWAY. The song is a place holder until I get another song to replace it that I have the actual rights to. I would NEVER sell anything without the rights/permission from the band. This is for practice and entertainment purposes for a school assignment. Thank you.

That's all folks!

Another Art Club challenge. I drew my character I just made into a head, Starbar into a Looney Tunes Wil E. Coyote styled wolf! He's a surfer so I added the surfboard. I don't know if I need to shade him though, since most of the Looney Tunes cartoons I own don't have them shaded. It really wasn't til Space Jam where they shaded. I don't know. Suggestions? :)

Happy Birthday Stephanie (Rhia) Sopa! And other new art updates

Cedar Point and some arts

AND I WENT TO CEDAR POINT! <3 Twas so much fun. Thanks again to Colin's parents for inviting me! It was a very nice trip. :3 That hat i'm wearing, well it FLEW back on the corkscrew and this guy caught it! XDD

Animated an icon for Akita of her character Tory.

Art club's instructions said to make a bulldog in my image. I don't know if Jared meant a bulldog fursona or something like that, but I did a random beauty queen bulldog. Isn't she GAWJUS?! XD

I have made like 3 more pics but they are on my friend's oekaki and those are more personal pieces.

American Idol Live

Was awesome!
I went to it last night. I got to meet 9 of the 10 idols. (David Cook was out after the show to LA)
But I got autographs on my ticket and I got a David Cook t-shirt. We were also 9 rows from the front. :3

What a great time! ^_^

Commissions for Gir Tygrin and Tenkri.

I have a deal going on $25.00 only for a badge and a sketch or a badge and an icon for LJ/DA/FA/SA/etc.

Ain't no hopscotch, pink and purple polka dots, step off the blacktop, slide into the jaguar...

I listen to too much Paula Deanda. :P Hmmm what's new with me? I took a trip to Indiana with my friends Shiny Puppy, Vyren (Caeged Studios), and her beau James (Feng) to see the pooches at Wolf Park. The following video is of the wolves loving up on the photographer of the park, Monty. Please visit wolfpark.org and buy stuff or go visit there and donate money by adopting a wolf or doing a seminar so you can have a hands on experience too. ^_^ (It's all non profit, too)

ALSO i'm taking my first practicum there studying the animals at the park for artistic/animation purposes. The practicum is gonna set me back about $530, but well worth it, plus I read I can have hands on experience with the wolves which would be so awesome and unforgettable and I have no regret donating money to animals. <3

Art coming in next post.
