Drawing final~ the process

Focusing on shading and facial expressions. Definitely going to be an interesting series of paintings when I'm done

Project Zirconia: drafting

So far this stuff is going good

Butterflies

2D final project: The darkness flew away like butterflies.

Finally getting a new laptop~

Looks like I finally got the new laptop I've been in dying need to have since last semester. Just gotta finish redownloading my programs today and then I will be one step closer to being in complete control of my digital life~ 

Wish me luck :3

New Semester

Probably gonna end up using this as a way to post my work in progress projects so lets get started shall we?


Now in case I get viewers from my other websites, this is a quick little reminder and notice about this.

• Deviantart has my fanart, and complete works
• Tumblr has whatever I feel like posting, some links to where I post my other stuff, and you can ask me whatever
• Youtube has my animations (in the future >3> ) and speed-paint drawing
• Blogger has my works in progress, life events, and links

So lets cross our fingers and hope that this year goes well

Rendering stages

This is always something I hate doing, since it's forever just for it to convert from one file to another. Oh well, this is why I have Vegas movie studios on my laptop, for just the reason exactly. And I still have to learn how to use it a lot better.

Narrative the process and the birth of the idea

So me being someone who loves sitting up late at night reading scary stories until I'm too scared to even think about sleeping thought I could play off of that when I started making my narrative project. The story is called, I never believed in monsters. It's basically a short story about a girl who learns to believe in them after a reading a few stories about them.

Originally I was planning on modeling for theses pictures, having one of housemates or friends to help me create the story however it didn't go as planned as my friends either lived off-campus or were far too busy to help me with a few simple things, granted it's be expected when you're in an art school. So I decided to re-watch my narrative animation/ Animatic.

seen here. 

and decided to read the few fragments of my comic that were later misplaced to try and simplify my originally too big of a project. So as I was re-watching the animatic  I noticed ways on how I could draw fewer panels, and change up the angles to make the story flow better. Which is how I got to the beautiful start of more comic art.  In all honesty this is still a very large project but hey, either go big or go home as I like to say. 

What it is now. 

Let's talk about Memento

I have to say that I really enjoyed watching Memento, even if I had to sit down and watch it twice in parts. it was still a pretty cool movie. I also enjoyed having to read the the short story that memento was based off of, Memento Mori.

There was some really interesting things about memento that still have me kinda curious if Lenny is really just Sammy, since he seems to have memories of his wife being diabetic. Although, somehow he seems to forget it. I would think it would something that has to do with his mind slowing forgetting these simple facts and would explain why he had some memories of being in a mental hospital.

Idiom process and ideas

So this was probably one of the more strangest things I've made in a while. I was thinking on the concept of 'letting the cat out of the bag' so I started thinking about things that slip past us, mostly in ways that deal with money. Taxes being reprensted by the man in the suit. air fair for traveling, either it being business trips or family visits. All of it costs money. App games being another be one. I couldn't really think of any other candy crush that everyone just seems to waste their money on right now so I placed it in there.  Then of course money itself, we misplace money, we spend it on many things, digging through bags in search of it, sometimes causing it drop to the ground causing you to search for it. 

It's really kinda interesting with the concept of money having so much power yet none at all. 

spoof ad, process and idea

I decided to pull a joke and somewhat reference with one of consoles I know I'll probably end up buying sometime next year. The Xbox one. I was really interesting how that E3 conference originally the Xbox one was always suppose to be connected online and have it's web cam running. Kinda like in a big brother kinda way from 1984. Seeing as this joke didn't leave my head I decided, to make this reference and joke before it disappeared forever.

Xbox one is watching, always watching you.

Final project

The guy was probably one of the more fun one to draw, mostly due to his crazy expressions

Progressing into Lineart

So right now, my storyboard/Comic draft page is completed now I'm going into the lineart process andthen from there into Grayscale/minor coloring.

Final project, concept sketches, and ideas

These are the characters I plan on using for my final project. I'm thinking of doing a digital comic using these characters. I should have the story board up later today. 

If I have enough time, I might add sound and animate it through iMovie 

Music and sound tracks

These are the ones I think I use for background music:
1) http://www.freesound.org/people/ERH/sounds/32899/
2) http://www.freesound.org/people/RichardCulver/sounds/198927/
3) http://www.freesound.org/people/RichardCulver/sounds/198925/
4) http://www.freesound.org/people/RichardCulver/sounds/198922/
5) http://www.freesound.org/people/RichardCulver/sounds/198916/
6) http://www.freesound.org/people/RichardCulver/sounds/198920/


Something I want to use for background music in a later project:
1) http://www.freesound.org/people/RichardCulver/sounds/198921/
2) http://www.freesound.org/people/RichardCulver/sounds/198917/
3) http://www.freesound.org/people/RichardCulver/sounds/198915/


This is what I have so far. but now I think it now depends on the style o the tentacles I wanna go with, more shadow monster based, or actual tentacle based.

Fun with comics, and their dilemmas

I have to say that making the comic project was a lot of fun. Granted I really want to edit the last two pages a bit, and make the scene play out better, but I need to come up with the finishing angle of the last page. I'm not sure if I should show the monster eating her, or show a side angle of the bed after she gets pulled under and leave it there. So many ideas, not enough pages. 

Narrative fun

I'm really enjoying working on this narrative project, I think I finally figured out how I'm going to do ending. Now I just need to find some eireey music to play in the background, and the perfect sound for the monster's tenticules 

Narrative

I finally have an idea for this narrative piece ouo it's gonna be awesome (if I do it right 

Trust me it's going to be at least 50% awesome 

just this song ovo

Can I just say that I love this song and it's music video. Gotta Love Rooster Teeth for this
