I Was Thinking (Has This Been a Title Before?)

I'm coming up with some clever Summer goals and I think you'll be pleased with me!

I was going to color these but it's Easter and I have stuff to do! Maybe I'll get around to it?

AH! You think I'm a liar, do you? Well here's the thing: I did color (sort of) some things from last week:

Maybe I'll actually finish coloring these in and turn them into finished pieces? LOL

I've been really struggling in my head drawing class for the last couple weeks. It felt like I was unable to see things right and get them down on paper correctly. But this week I did a couple drawings I didn't despise:

Also, some sketches I didn't hate from this week:

And then for one class we went to the museum and drew some animals. I did hate some of these, but for variety's sake they're in here:

Also, this week: SHUFFLE MADNESS! I like when improbable things happen as I shuffle through all the songs on my mp3 player. I heard Stains of Time from Metal Gear Rising and then the instrumental version, one right after the other? What are the odds of that?!!? Very slim, my friends. Very slim. Metal Gear Rising has a completely silly soundtrack, but the game succeeds perfectly at what it's trying to do (i.e. be silly). I was reading somewhere and the writer was joking about how the game's mechanics let you chop a guy's head in half after chopping it off. It's preposterous. 

Pumpkins

Since it's Halloween soon, I thought I'd post a picture of some orange pumpkins.

 I drew these today just for you!

Gallery of Terror, continued

Update on this. Still not sure if it's done, it's confusing with color, maybe I'll try to fix it. It's also showing up too dark here. Argh.

I'm still alive: A work in progress, some doodles

I have to pack up and get going, but I just wanted to show you what I was working on for UVU's annual October art show, Gallery of Terror:

Here are some doodles I was tinkering with.

It's been really busy and crazy trying to schedule time to do art while school is going on. I have an anatomy and figure structure class which is adding to this stuff but everything else is very time consuming. I spent a couple hours yesterday working on 3D, but school as a whole is getting in the way of my artwork.

I might have another update this week. We'll see.

"I need the alien fetus!!"

This week, I plan on [doing your Summer Goals? - Ed.] taking some of these a little further towards completion. This first one is notable because it has two characters interacting without removing parts of each other's bodies with firearms/blades/fists/weapons, &c. I suppose they're doing something equally illegal, but no blood has yet been spilt, which is practically unheard of around here.

Working on this

Just fooling around with that thing I drew yesterdayyy

Bonus: The rest of the stuff

Other stuff from today. I had this other thing but it's too late, I don't even know

NO TIME like the presents

I was trying to put characters in an environment. I have some characters, and some environments, and some ways I want to put them together, but alas. I ran out of time doing other things.

These other things:

WHO NEEDS ANATOMY? This doesn't make a whole lotta sense, but I really didn't want to toss the arm holding the axe, although that might have improved it. Maybe I'll go fix it someday?

Seriously though? I'd like to work on some anatomy and get big shapes right. I'm gonna try to focus on that. OH WAIT IF I'D BEEN FOLLOWING MY SUMMER GOALS I WOULD HAVE READ ABOUT IT ALREADY (caps)

Monsters. Teeth and mouths and an armor guy.

A spider walker guy

Drying out his armpits

New Classes (NOOO), PIGS

I finished the second of the two sketchbooks I had been using for Will Terry's Imagination and Visual Literacy class from Spring Semester!

But...

These two classes I'm taking are going to cut into my art time, which makes me very, very cranky.

Both are interesting, but priority-wise I really don't care at all! I have too much to do.

I suppose I could quit my job. Ha. Yeah right. Then how would I pay for my time-consuming and distracting classes?

Put the chickens away!

I have to go put the girls back in the cage and get ready for work. Here's some things, it's not 3D, I didn't have timeeeeeeeeee. But soon. I just have a lot to do today.

The final project for class is whatever I want. So I decided to take what I'd been doing last week and push something to completion. So here's this thumb:

It was my special secret, I'd been saving it for a special occasion. Well whatever- Better make it count! Dumped stuff over it:

I expanded it to fit the required measurements (1600 x 1200 pixels) and found I was almost there anyway. I changed what I had considered buildings to cliffs because it seemed to read easier and continued refining everything. So tomorrow I'll work this some more. 

And all the rest.

Prepare Lunch!

That's next on my to-do list.

Here!

This was the first picture I did today, and I think I'm most pleased with it. It's like another view of that thing I posted yesterday.

I did this next. I'm having issues keeping everything detailed consistently. That big guy on the left has too much going on, I need to tighten up the bridge. I guess this was more an exercise in preparing for a finished composition than anything else, but I don't like how some things look.

This is what i have so far on this week's prompt for class, "Mask." I was going to work on it today but I worked on other things instead. I have to finish this!

Here are Things

Business:

 Remember this? I painted it.

Here's some witchy stuff I'm going to be doing with my Hansel & Gretel Final.

Fun:
