this was so fun :) finally find out how to do that opacity with no opacity magic and it's awesomeee this was fun. around an hour + the second frame with the colorful stuff was kinda confusing to do. but funn

it's nice getting back to things finally :) ...gotta level up!!

props to my buddeh Patrick he suggested this idea super long ago.. and i haven't done it until the end of the semester. School and life kicked my butt. This semester has seriously been the hardest i ever went through. But now that i went through it.. i 'm happier and a whole lot smarter about things. hopefully. I'm just glad i got through it without a lot of ... scars.. i guess hahaha.

now is the time where i have to fire it up!! during the school year i kind of felt like i did mediocre work. turning in stuff that im not ashamed of, but not really the absolute best that i can do. I think that's my problem though, i'm comfortable with just being good enough.. while i should only be satisfied with the best. Time for me to kick my butt. That means more painting!!! this year i learned so much about painting, light and color. I need to put in all of my work from this semester. I really loved my color rendering. probably my best work this year. :) needa fix it though. it will be done!! >:(

i know i'm not the only one that went through a tough semester.. there's a lot of us in the same boat this year. we got through it you guys!! sigh

needa start with photo refs ughhh

time to sleep.

if we come late to class in my maya class, our teacher, Dave Gustlin, makes us say "i'm late, and im a horrible person."

so since i haven't been here as much as i should. i'm definitely "late."



i'm late and i'm a horrible person.


plus i need to work harder.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AWESOME PEOPLEEE!

omg. i finally understand how to use pen pressure. it's awesome. HOW CAN I NOT USE THIS BEFORE?!?!?! although i only used it on the clouds. meh. discovered it a lil too late.

many thanks to chris for teaching me about pen pressure. 

eh... about an hour. or so. i took a break while painting this.. i like how loose it is on top. :)

if you have time go here i love this song <3

SP 70 & HELLA THANKS

gah. spent too long on this. 2 hours... too long!! and  i need to sketch again. everything is so skewed.. :(( 

i need to start painting everyday again.. gotta get betteeeeeeeeeeeeer. so much better!!

And here's what i made for a competition called HELLA THANKS  (check it out yo!) although i just found out that i made it really pixelized cause i didn't notice how small the pixel size for this was when i painted it.. :(

unlike mah buddies to the right sam, huong, and jon, hahaha i didn't really think about it as much and just painted something really fast.. sadly :( i should've made it supremely awesome!! D: but i like it. it's bright it has bunnies. yay!
