First Week Done, WOOOOH!

It's like that part in The Lord of the Rings where Frodo and co. leave the Shire and then two minutes later the Black Riders have ridden them down. Where's the elves when I need them? Or a creepy Tom Bombadil?

So, kind of a bad idea taking Visual Storytelling and Speed Sketching together.
And then some surprise Senior Film work...
And other things.

Actually, Easter was surprisingly fun aside from the all-nighter. Parents took me to Outback, and the waitress issued this epic coaster tower challenge. Naturally (after 30 odd attempts), I won. Well, I actually didn't get it as tall as the waitress challenged (I'm one card tier too short), but I spent well over an hour working on the thing when most people sort of give up after 5 minutes so I bagged a free dessert.
And our food was delayed for a ridiculous amount of time, so the manager gave our table free desserts anyway. Funny how life works out.

BUT, still managing alright after the first week. I swear, it feels more like it's been 3 weeks. It's going to be a rough quarter.

Here's my first assignments from Vis, all pretty rough. I'm going to be reamed for the tight roughs being as loose as they are, but I'm running on fumes here and it's almost time to "wake up". There'll be time for cleaning up later.

So there went Spring Break.

Wait, what Spring Break? I don't think there ever was a Spring Break, and quite frankly, I find the notion absurd.


But during this thing that didn't happen, I accomplish very little, so it's a good thing it never happened at all.

Some of these are old and as such predate this thing called Spring Break.

Does anyone else think Spring Break is just the eye of the storm?

So, my production book and final animation. Both are in desperate need of doctoring, but that'll have to wait.   Enjoy!

I'm sure I'm not the only one not sleeping.

At least ten of you other people are not sleeping (you some odd people reading my blog, not SCAD in general where 85% of people aren't sleeping at the moment).

I'm just going to dump stuff now. Do I have more: no. Should I have more: definitely. 

I really just like the word "Bandwagon"

So, not much... but here's more from Conceptual Illustration. This is my last week doing layouts for "Danza de los Muertos" for now, so that should make things easier I hope. It's been a tiring week, for everyone I know really, and I'm hoping it'll wrap up nicely instead of worse.

To be very honest with you guys, I am not satisfied with these. The bag maybe, but definitely not the chopsticks and the car. I don't know why, but this part just struck me as boring (odd because I love working on assets). Props are just... kind of dull. Felt the same way in Environment and Props. Environments and Assets are just ten times more fun to me.

I'm almost entirely sure I'm going to redesign Panini based off her original final design ("9" in a previous post). There's so much I want to do with this but I need more time. Time is just the one thing I'm not going to get more of.

Bandwagon

Panini's Bag

Chopsticks

I'll be posting something new sometime later this week, so cheers!

Oh hey! what's that in the distance...?

Well, it's not all that exciting at all really. For Norman. For me this was pretty exciting. 

That being said, twenty minutes after I got home, I realized I did the assignment wrong. By a lot really. But it looks alright, aside from a few minor issues. 

Maybe you'll like it?

Anyways, probably shouldn't expect much from me on Thursday as far as posting goes. Assignments got pushed back, and that means I don't have to crunch for that any more. 

If I wasn't still so deathly sick, I'd do a jig. 

You do a jig for me and it'll be good. 

Props, props everywhere

Was going to make a Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner joke, but where can you really go with "props"?

Anyways, in the midst of raging sickness, I got my work done. I am also killing my class attendence by bed-rest, so I'll have to go to at least one class today.

I don't know if you can tell, but I got tired after a certain point. It's the cars you can really tell with. 

Anyways, a little more extra bits before I haul myself off the couch and get to class.

If any of you have any particular favourites for these colors, do let me know. It's awfully helpful. 

Probably post something new on Thursday, keep an eye out!
