Class Final - 2

Here are some rough sketches of my character. I usually just jump from light sketching straight to inks or working it on PSD. So it was hard to leave the pic untouched. Sorry. I'll have to get better with that someday.

Class Final

Semester's over now! This is my Final for the Class. It's a Character Development info pak pretty much. It's actually a character I have created long ago and had published some years ago, and plan to publish again this Summer or Fall. You can check out the other parts to this when I post additional sketches shortly after this.

Enjoy!

Flash Project

Here goes my first attempt at making an Animation using Flash CS4 for our Class Assignment!! (well...using Flash period-!) It took a little work and humbling pleading to get to this point, but I have this so far. I'm having a lot of technical probs though. Don't know what to do about them just yet, but I'll work on them! Enjoy. I hope.

Back 2 Schoolin'

First, let me say that I had a horrible Spring Break! Family sick, I had insomnia, and had to spend money on household things we can't afford to pay out, but had to. So, it is with great weirdness that I say - So glad to be back to Classes!!! Gives me focus. What can I say-?

In any event, this is my latest Class Project. We had to put a tri-fold brochure together for a Foundry Company. Here is my front page of the finished product. I'm good with the results. Enjoy.

Smallville..! WTH-hey-!?!?!?

Let me just voice my grief...! Please?

I understand that when Hollow-wood takes a Comicbook-based Series and makes an adaptation, there will be certain noticeable changes. It's a given. But when it starts to 'grind my gears', it's just too much.

Take for instance, this Smallville. It's more of a soap opera than a Clark Kent-growing-into-Superman story. When did Lana Lang ever inherit Lex Luthor's super-suit? Who is this Chloe Sullivan? (don't get me wrong;the actress is phw-iiiine-!) When did Jimmy Olsen get married? Why did Doomsday start off as a mild-mannered EMT, then start morphing like crazy, and from Supes' own Fortress of...'Friends Cafe', aka, ...of Solitude yet-? And for the love of Stan Lee people, why is it Clark cannot hear it when people have sneaked up on him in the bushes or around the corner, eavesdropping on him and Lana/Chloe/Jimmy-??? Ever-!?!?!? Betcha Bruce Wayne/Batman would notice-! Take that C-Dub-bya!!

BTW, it is not a lost fact that there are no company of varying ethnic groups' representation in the regular Cast. Think that was an oversight on their part? Hardly.

I have spoken...... or fussed. Whichever you prefer.....

kagaku ninjatai gatchaman op
Uploaded by shariban

Never thought I would find this, and with such good vid quality and the original Japanese too-! This is my second fav anime from my early childhood. After seeing 'Speed Racer', aka, 'Mach GoGoGo', the Americanized hit 'Battle of the Planets', aka, 'Kagaku Ninja-Tai Gatchaman ', became my obsession for a very loooooooong time! I saw cars and planes transform in Speed Racer, I thought they were the bomb. But when this came along-! Man! I was up every weekday morning at to see the show at 6:00AM on the dot! And still went to School afterwards. Only a handful of us knew about this Show at the time. Fun times....

Terminator's Influence

Here is another website re-design of Veer.com, only this one had my fav action-sci-fi movie of all time - (come on-! say it with me...!) The TERMINATOR (original)!!!!

Instead of all the robotics, I just used the colors and type. I am guilty of too much content in my art, so I am trying to scale back. Enjoy.

TRON-Based Web Redesign

Here is the one redesign of that Veer.com website we have to do in Class. It's probably to busy, but it wa a blast making it-!

PROJ-3 : Classic Movie

TRON.....

I saw this as a kid, and it changed my artistic perception entirely!!! And few things get me more excited than a good sci-fi, action, hi-speed, f/x-ladened animated scene!! Too bad for me that my family never helped me pursue any of these creative impulses (who knows where I would be now in regards jobs and accomplishments; such a lonely childhood). But this is one of those that I will use to inspire me to do another Assignment in my CGT-251 Class, Project 3.

I hope everybody who loves 3d and CGI really enjoys and appreciate this classic clip; most of what we got now through Pixar, ILM and DreamWorks had to first come from these resourceful pioneers! Gotta love Historical Beginnings!

Composite Layout

Not that it wasn't all fun N' games doing this-! Well...it kinda wasn't really. Had technical issues; then personal issues. I may need counseling by tonight. Here is a layout of all my components for my other Class Project. COuld still use a few tweaks here and there, but I never know when to stop working on something till it's dead twice over! Hope it gets me some good points.

Later

Theme Pic Final

BTW, here is the finished product of the "Climbing" themed illustration I did. Whaddayathink? Got a shot at more silliness in my future?

PreLim Sketch Music CD cover

It was an hard time to get this one up and going, but here is a concept for a Class assignmnet for a CD cover. SIce I havenot heard the music or got more details on the type of music on it - I understand it's across the board so to speak - I gave this my best shot in the time I had. But it's only a concept, not the Final. Any opinions?

Theme Pic Pt 2

I was winding down on this one. The theme is 'CLIMBING'!! Wanted something a little more flamboyant with clouds, but time and exhaustion took their toll on me; I had to succumb tonight. Hope people like it!

'PALE' Illustration

Ilustration based on the word 'Pale'. I figured, everything else earthly simply pale(s) in comparison to God's glory and His heavenly Kingdom. Therefore, the earth and all in it is so small before Him. Whaddayathink?

Circuit City

I went to check out Circuit City's liquidation sale to see about getting some computer hardware or a Blu-Ray player. What a disaster! When I pulled up in Castleton, I immediately noticed that there were lots of empty-handed people going in, and lots of people coming out empty-handed! Baaaaaaaad sign. I saw why once inside; their electronics were only 10% off, their DVD media and related items, only 20%. This isn't a Liquidation, it's a common holiday sale! No wonder the idiots lost money for so long! I did better at Best Buy.

Maybe I was ust too early and need to wait a few weeks to get real bargains; they weren't selling anything big, nor selling too much to make a difference. Blah! So. I'l wait....

New 2 This

Here goes-! My First Blog. Just what I am to do and why - unhhh, it's sort of unclear. I am doing this for one of my computer design classes this semester. But I knew that eventually, I'd have to break into this blog-thing for the sake of networking and job opps. Let's see how things go....

I'm in my Creative Design class now - and we're done (just some 20 odd minutes). No work for this week. My Instructor said to 'Relax and take a weekend off.' That scares me. I don't like to relax during the Semesters; torments the soul anxious to get a good grade. But I will try.

Gotta go get some Manga - Ikkitousen (Battle Vixens); should have my Gundam Seed Destiny Vol#1 and Vocal Trance CD's sometime soon. Now THAT...will help me relax.

Oh, yeah....
