Yarrr.....

Finally made myself go out and paint mindlessly..I find that painting actually help calm my nerves these days, so hopefully there will be more of these suckers popping out in the works.
Here's one from Barefoot Coffee..I'm totally down for painting anytime if anyone's up for it, so let me know, ya?

I've been....

Stressed out for no good reason.
Maybe aside from graduating in a couple of weeks? ha!

Anyway...here's a fanboat design I've been working on for a vis-def class I'm taking this semester. Forgot to submit this one to the BFA gallery, but I guess it would've been funny since I already have a bunch of spreads with ship-related designs on them.
Which is funny since it totally would've made me look like such a vehicle designer, doh.

Please do come by and check out the BFA gallery opening this Tuesday, you guys. Hopefully I'll get to see some people I haven't seen in a long time.

Spring is here...

And I want to run to the opposite direction. I've been getting some godawful allergic reactions and got my first fever of the year earlier this week. Ehhhh......
But duh..time to try to catch up on everything now.
Here's a redo of one of my previous projects..for some reason everyone seems to gravitate to this particular design so I just gave up and painted straight on top of it. Yea.

Wut wut wut.....

Guh haven't had time to do any practice paintings..just pieces after pieces. Which is pretty cool since I get to switch gears every time my project workflow feels stale and ugh.
So here's a WIP exterior I've been working on..the interior version I had for this particular project bombed so I'm definitely putting it in my -fix it sooner or later- folder.
Meanwhile, have a cool and safe springbreak my peeps, and I'll see some of you guys when we drop by LA.

Speedpaint 2

Another painting I did in between bouts of insomnia, based on a weekly photo highlight at yahoonews..my back's been hurting for a while since I spend a lot of time just sitting down and working.
Someone definitely needs exercise now, ha ha.

La!

Here's another project I recently finished, which is basically adapting an artists' style to design characters for George Orwell's Animal Farm.
I lucked out and found a really fun artist to follow from, whose name is Lane Smith.
But yeah, lots more work to be done....

Speedpaint

I couldn't sleep. So I did this instead. Which is awesome since I haven't practiced painting in a while but also sucks since now I'm even more awake.
Also, pooh pooh on how the colors changed from the photoshop file to the blogspot upload. I've been seeing a lot of disrepancies between monitors, and I can't even imagine how acid the colors would look on another screen. Yaah!

Turtle girl.

Here's my waterfall spirit character design for this semester's vis-def class.
I know most kappas are guys, but I don't think they'd be able to multiply through binary fission, so there you go.
