Summer Indecency Extroverted TBC

*Sniff* Mmmm I smell romantic beginnigns to a blog post. :P

I have been 'AFK' (away from computer, nerd language) for quite a while since last semester and will be back shortly. Just thought I'd pop in to share how much I am enjoying life and classes right now.. (mainly to make excuses as to why I have not posted anything) Narrative Story and Illustration 1 all in the rapidly short Summer semester. Like Gloria Gaynor, I will survive. Because as long as I know.. how to love.. I know I will stay alive.
I've got all my life to live.
And believe me, I've got all my love to give and I will survive.
/end scene >_>

Thus far, being a week of classes I have managed to miss one class by catching some kind of horendous cold the second day.. -_- but not all clouds have a silver lining. I learned some new things from going to the doctor and also had time to reflect and draw. My ukulele arrived in the mail, I have been playing that quite a bit. Mainly when no one is around to hear how bad it is until I actually figure out how to play. ;)
I actually like Narrative story, it's a lot of fun and very inspiring. As for Illustration 1 it is simple, for now.

I shall update with some short comics and whatnot later on this weekend. I want to get a post in before and after Pride Parade. WATERCOLOR AND PASTEL TIME!!! HOLLAH! :D

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!

Spring Show o__o

CFD1 submission

Sketchbook submissions.. Not sure if I should compile them or not.

Not really sure how I would compile all of these anyhow though. I need to finish uploading more pages.. I have some new stuff that might be worth submitting.

Your comments please!!!!

>_>

I'm hoping I make it through finals...

Like I tell me mom.. don't wait up. (for new posts.. for a while.)

Good luck to all my fellow students in their finals! Produce EPIC work! or fail. :/

Episode 1 : I used a Swiffer

Spring semester has started and I am pleased to announce that I am now more awesome than ever! I was taken while in a deep sleep, ripped from my packaging and placed upon a lego battle field of which I was left to fend for myself and slaughter those in my way to reach that delicious cream filled donut called Ultimate Happiness on the other side. With my pen as my sword, I couldn't quite erase my foes.. so I drew mustaches on them like in that one episode where Bugs Bunny goes around and defiles the portraits of movie stars...er, you get my point. When you can't beat them, make them look funny. :P

HERE'S A MAN!

His name is Sedrickson..

He is part lizard.

Enjoy.

Oh, right, by the way.. My trip to North Carolina was a lot of fun and I baked a cookie that looked like a rocket ship!

Fin.

all things in moderation

These past three days have been a great predecessor for the days to come in North Carolina. Adventures with various friends took me to new places among San Francisco. I took the Minolta out with the lovely Mandi Sanchez to Beuna Vista Park and Corona Heights where we climbed amongst the rocks and met a cute puppy German Shepard named Juanita. o.O

LOOK! It's the prong thing! O_O

The day started off a little overcast and soon became very grey and dismal, not to mention COLD! It was a great adventure nonetheless, as the adventure ended with burritos and I saw Ovo later that night with my sister and Chris. ^.^

An adventure with Abel on Friday led to some roof top cityscape drawing and hot chocolates in little Italy. On Saturday Grant, Sadie and I managed to hit up every candy store on the way through the Embarcadero center and to the Ferry Building where Grant took out his laptop and proceeded to play an 8-bit game while Sadie and I hung out in a book store reading The World According to Twitter and looking at the Fail Blog Chronicles.

Later that night the three of us ended up inebriated and playing video games. I broke out the pastels and did a feature study..

I tend to overwhelm myself with the big picture, so I never end up finishing what it is that I started out to do in the first place. I think if I do more little studies and calm myself down I'll be able to be more comfortable in situations where I do have to get the whole figure all nice and pretty.

To all those iphone and ipod touch users out there, download Words With Friends and start a game with me. (It's scrabble.. but wireless with EVERYONE!) ((someone needs to make a star wars version))

peace

Open to ideas

In class fun.. I think I finally got that torso down.. >_< Added in some paper planes, they need cast shadows.. :P

So here is my work in progress for my final! A friend of mine told me that he likes the open space at the top.. should I leave it open or add in the gummy worms?

What you gonna do when the guns are drawn?

I have a pretty good view of the city from where I am at and every morning I wake up to a different mood in the sky.

I may start doing more of these as morning exercises.. But this was my first quick study in photoshop of what I see when I wake up. The clouds looked awesome, but as of right now the light and clouds moved because I decided to eat something. I know, I know.. shame on me.

Anyway, there you go!

rawr! Took me like thirty minutes to throw together the sketch, clouds and sky..

Damn quick select made my sky look weird. Well, actually it's my fault. I learned today that quick select should be used with 100% opacity rather than 40%.. it caused some variation in the opacity within the sky and that's why the weird pattern is in the sky. I am quite proud of my clouds though.. ^.^

I have never done a city scape before.. it's rather overwhelming. O_O

Hope all is well, I must get back to actual work for finals now. :P
