Goal and Reflection

I am just sort of sketching out ideas and starting to practice making them into pixels. I am currently on a flower pot. Reflection: I finished a pixel! This is my lazy version of a tree in a flower pot and a chocolate

Goal and Reflection

I am having a hard time making pixels, but I plan to keep working on it. I really haven't gotten much done, but I am determined to continue this.

Goal and Reflection

This week I am going to make a animated pixel of either a unicorn, a corgi, or a female character. I may try to do all, but this is just a little project while I draw out another piece. This other piece will be slightly a horror piece. Not so much so, but just creepy. I plan to go for a more stylized character and see how more I can do to make it colorful and a bit dirty. The piece will basically be a psycho girl with a animal mascot head on and a variety of colors that may or may not be alien blood splatters. :)

Reflection: My key got printed!

Goal and Reflection

I am finished with my unicorn, but it will not load. I might start a pixel project or something or go finish my painting for the art show.


Reflection:
I am thinking of what to do, but I am at a loss.

Goal and Reflection

I hope to complete my unicorn this week, but I am having a hard time getting the bugs ironed out.

Reflection:
I think I might be done and ready to print. I am going to use a strong white so the it doesn't fall apart. I might color it, but I doubt it since the color material cannot get all of the detail that I put in. Done before the art show, but I will not submit it since the horse was made by someone else and I had to attach it together and add a bunch of stuff, but I still did not do it on my own. This is purely so I can have a statue of my favorite childhood mystical creature.

Goal FINAL And Reflection

FINISH MEH HORSE/UNICORN!


Reflection:
I am trying to get my unicorn done. Here it is so far.

Goal and Reflection

I am going to make the mane and tail as chunks so they can print easily.

Reflection:
I finished my title screen on Tuesday. Here it is!


And I did one for Jamie!

Goal and Reflection

This week I am going to draw out my idea in sketches to see the various poses. Until I am sure on the idea though I am going to do a series of pixels and try to animate a few. Some pixels that I want to do are origami characters, fantasy, and adorable cuteness.

Reflection: I suddenly decided I wanted another printed out 3d object before the year is out. I wanted this to be real quick so I found a model already made and downloaded it. I want a unicorn type of figure that can sit on my work area, but finding horse figures was hard. I downloaded one that had rigs and everything but it came in pieces so I had to put it back together. Here is the horse put together and pulled apart.

3/13/12 Goal And Reflection

My goal this week is to find another project to do. If I do not then I will just sculpt a origami piece on Maya if I can figure out how to make it thin enough to look cool but be able to print it. I am right where I want to be since I finished my project and now I am waiting for it to be printed.

Reflection: I think I found some ideas that I like. A few are:
A protest piece
Origami
Human looking robots
Cartoon looking character

For the cartoon character I was thinking of just making something someone up and using them as a representation of myself in art.

New Project>:{

Illustration of some sort.

Analysis: I really like how this is a mix of style. It is realistic, while giving a vector art feeling with the skeleton. The artist listened to Adele while painting this and I really get the raw feeling from the piece and that Adele portrays. I would like to be this good, but I can only dream.

Proposal: I am going to illustrate something. Not sure as to what, but I want it to be of a nice quality and stylized. I also want to make something that represents me and includes the styles that have influenced me.

Goal and Reflection

This week I am going to find some inspiration and think about a new project.

Reflection on New Project

I am not sure as to what I want to do. I might do two projects at once so I don't get bored. I am torn between doing another painting or a 3d sculpture. I am thinking of making a sort of tribute piece to some of my favorite books or movies. Some ideas I have for paintings are zombies, Disney princess interpretations/or a new princess, or some concept ideas for stories I want to write. I really want to do a piece on the anarchy going on around the world. I really want to be a part of it, but I live so far away so maybe my art will reach the rebels that are fighting.

New Project

I am going to look around for inspiration on a new project.

Finished!

I finished my key unless some other things are wrong with it. I am going to get it priced to see how much it is to print out.

Weekly Goal and Reflection

This week I want to have most of my key done and ready to put together.

Reflection: This Week I almost finished my key. I worked hard on it and I am quite impressed with how it is coming along. I can't wait to print it.

Weekly Goal and Reflection

This week I hope to finish my key's bow shape. I also want to start on the bottom of the key and form the bit.

Reflection: This week I mostly got my bow done. I just need to add a couple of things to it so it will retain it's shape.

Weekly Goal and Reflection

I am going to try to get an drawing done of my key by the end of this week. I also hope to sketch out some other ideas for an illustration.

Reflection:I got myself a finished drawing. I started on my maya sculpting as well. I will post a progress picture next week because I want to get further along.

Proposal

While I am trying to think of something to illustrate I will do another project in the meantime. I am going to make a key and print it out at Shapeways. I plan for it to be a skeleton key. Some of my ideas for it are a little complicated so I'm trying to iron that out. I plan to have a sketch done next week and start on it around then. It will be done in Maya.

1/17/12 Weekly Goal And Reflection

This week I am going to practice some more tutorials and post my progress on them.

Reflection:

I sort of failed this week. I tried to draw an eye but that didn't turn out too good. I did do a bubble tutorial. It looks terrible.

Week Reflection and Progress

I am mostly just taking on tutorials and seeing how far I can take them. Eventually I want to be able to speed paint. I got some fire done just to see if I can do it.

Week 1 Goals

This week I am going to sketch out my idea. I don't really know what I want to do, but I will figure it out hopefully.

Tomer Hanuka

Deviant art: ~b1nd1



My favorite pieces are Tomer Hanuka's. I really like the colors and the story telling. His type of shading is also uniquely awesome! He also tends to keep the colors through his pieces the same. This brings the eyes through the piece to colors that may be slightly different. His pieces are dreamlike. The colors, movement, and content of the pieces are like a flowing dream. There is so much to see in one piece. He is also very in depth with the colors and sketches. He can make up to fifty sketches and 200 layers of individual colors in photoshop. His colors seem to share a same tone throughout one piece. His pieces are even more unique because he creates suspense and drama by not drawing exactly what is happening, but the moment before or the aftermath. Many of his pieces are novel commissions, which I enjoy because I would like to do some book cover art or small illustrations for the works.


I want to make something that is abstract, yet it is directed. I am going to try to just paint in Photoshop. While I am not sure about what the subject will be about, I will continue to look at my inspirational pieces and others.

Photoshop Painting

I've done drawings and colored them in photoshop before, but I never just straight up used photoshop. I think I am going to give that a try and do a photoshop painting/illustration.
