We've almost got the summer's second block scheduling woes squared away, which I thought would be nice, but it's turned out to be the least of my worries.
The figure drawing class has been a frightening nightmare. We had an assignment due this week and I spent 8-10 hours struggling to complete it on time. Because of this I had no choice but to get behind on sketchbook. I spent most of my day yesterday and a few hours this morning catching up! It's nice to finally be where I should, but I'm concerned the next assignment will throw a wrench into things again.
Here's the last of the sketchbook I was talking about last time. This new sketchbook is off to a rough start, which I'm actually okay with because I had a really nice couple weeks. I'll get it back.
When I get a spare second I work on UV's for the 3D guy. It's super slow going since my time is all being funneled into figure drawing, but hopefully now I'm caught up I can spend a little more time getting through this and getting to the fun part (texture painting).
And among all of these projects you got commissioned for work as well!! You're on your way to greatness! I'm proud, my cute toots!
ReplyDeleteThanks, wife of mine! Hopefully I get to finish these things! It's freakin' busy.
DeleteI won't call you cute. Or toots...
ReplyDeleteBut I will congratulate you (a few days post-posting) on getting commissioned for your work! That is FANTASTIC! :) That sounds like an absolutely thrilling step; To have your art recognised, and matter enough to someone to merit requisition for whatever reason... Wow - Which is not to say that your work does not deserve it, but simply to acknowledge the reality that in the art world, as it currently exists, it is not always based on natural talent, or developed skills, that one finds patrons. Having started to gain a larger following is no small feat.
I tip my hat to you, sir!
Thanks, Samuel! I'm still cautiously optimistic. Once the money is safely in my bank account, we'll rejoice! Just like graduating. I don't trust it til it happens. But if nothing else, we can look at this as someone appreciating my work enough to want to give me money for it.
