whump

blegh

she's probably going to die

painted this while listening to The Blood of Cuchulain and watching a cool landscape video.

I've been listening to this song for the past week or so.  It's very epic and inspiring. 

Anyone have any other songs like it?  

Music without lyrics can be very beautiful.  Even songs in other languages,  since I don't understand, the voices become more of an instrument. 

Cactus Party!!

a clip from a 48 hour film I did.

I can't find the whole thing for some reason.

doesn't matter.  This is the only part I really enjoyed making.

dance my cactuses! DANCE!!!

PS: Leo Ogawa did the cactus rig.  I just tweaked the colors and animated it to some japanese song haha.

reject mouse...

another layout assignment.  

based on my blog posts it would seem as if that was the only class I'm taking this year.

Funky old men

Today I tried boarding my film... I'm still stuck on it.

Couldn't do anything good, ended up drawing some dancing old men. 

I like colors. 

I spent so long just doing variations of colors.  

Here's one.

Now that I see it, I probably should have spent more time improving the poses.

But save that for later.
Time to continue struggling on my boards...
  

here's the original... I ended up staying with similar colors just because after a couple filters I ended up feeling like I cheated with the colors 

:P

From Halloween

Tis' a simple story of a sad ghost and an apathetic witch.

Layout assignment.  Silhouettes.

CG jump test

a jump test I did for CG class.  Figured I'd put it up since I don't have much to upload right now.

I'll load a couple pencil tests I did if I ever get the time to fix them up a bit

Do your laundry

Another layout assignment.  Changed it a bit from the one I turned in.  

A bit rough and sketchy since I did this at the last minute.
Not a great layout but it was actually more fun to do because I didn't care and just drew it for fun.

I think I might try and do that more often

Happy Birthday Toniko!!!

Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

Sorry it's late, I had to storyboard.  Curse my procrastination.

You were there.

But here ya go.  Hope you enjoyed the Danish!

CG Foundation class.  By far the hardest class for me to stay awake in.

I wish I was good at techie stuff.

Instead I messed around with photoshop and day dreaming I was doing something else.

I had a lot of fun using a brush made by Sophie Diao.

So much fun!!!

Sophie if you see this the brush you made is great!

It kept me awake and interested in staring at a screen.

2nd year begins!!!

A picture for you.

This was what I did this week for layout class.  

The actual drawing was just line work but just lines makes everything boring and confusing so I tried to block in some colors real quick before I uploaded it.

I'll put more stuff up soon maybe.  

School has been going on and I'm just trying to do well.

I have yet to find free time to do all the things I want to do

trying to do well seems to kill my social life :/

Dice Tsutsumi, Gypsy Kings, and Toy Story 3 oh my!

Recently I discovered the great artist that is Dice Tsutsumi.

I guess technically I already knew about him

I went to a lecture of his at CTN and my friend Eusong talked about him quite a bit

But I finally saw his work when I was browsing the art of toy story 3 at the soon to be extinct Borders

and I love it!!!

I'm pretty confident I'm not a vis dev guy

But seeing his stuff really made me want to draw more again

I wanted to try painting in a similar style for one 

partially because I love his style 

and also because I'm still bad with the tablet and I can't draw lines for my life

So I started thinking about what to draw

Then I remembered that I had just gotten tickets to see the Gypsy Kings!

Tying it all back together I decided that it would just be perfect to do a Toy Story piece!

 

So I drew this while listening to You've Got a Friend in Me (para el Buzz Español) over and over again

Hmmm.... this could possibly qualify as triple fanart or something...

Anyways, I'm sorry to say that this will probably be my last blog post for the summer.  

I'm cleaning up, packing, and trying to sell my laptop!

knowing me I'll probably find a way to get on the internet without my computer

So to all my friends at CalArts, I'll see you in September!

Culinary Genius!

Me and my brother decided to bake.... freestyle

So we grabbed all the baking ingredients we could think of 

and threw in anything we thought would make it taste better.

We were determined to make the most amazing cookie bread cake chimera the world has ever seen

I'd post the ingredients but my brother thinks that's a bad idea.
