Time to Work!

Life continues to be extremely interesting. One thought on mind is the upcoming annual Academy of Art University Spring Show. Gonna try to enter a few pieces in. The Washington State poster was suggested by my instructor Gordon Silveria. Many thanks to him and classmates for critiques! Am glad to say I'm finally getting the hang of vector designs. Note: the dancing girls are just color roughs done in Photoshop - working on vectorizing now.

Cute Animation and Life

Life is difficult. It truly is. I could go on for hours on how it's tough, but that wouldn't entirely do anything except waste time and possibly cause me (or others) to get sad, angry, any negative attitude. So to stay positive, here's a little piece I did in class today. First time doing any proper animation, so please bear with me. Hopefully I can find the time to compile some of my concept sketches (both the semi-real creatures designs, and cartoon children's book designs).
In happier news, I was able to attend the final day of the Games Development Conference (GDC) here in San Francisco. Managed to get a fantastic portfolio review, so be on the lookout for more creepy creature works. I also managed to squeeze in some time to finally attend SketchBomb, a gathering of artists held once a month to meet in San Francisco and sketch. Apparently my first day attending was their 3rd year anniversary. Got to reconnect with good friends, and make new friends. Here's one of my pages from that night as well.
