Update - kira concepts and illustration

2010-12-01T23:28:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I updated this page, mainly because I've been working, but also because I've been working on updating my reel and finalizing the new website:
These are all from the same general project, based on an original story I began writing some years ago. First are some character sketches, followed by an illustration progression - from sketch to finish. Well, near finish.
Enjoy!

new portfolio website

2010-09-09T11:53:00.000-07:00

My updated 3D portfolio can now be found at the following address:

new tablet! :D

2010-06-08T22:56:00.000-07:00

SO, my tablet died yesterday. I mourned it last night, said my goodbyes... and then hopped on out to pick up a brand new Intuos 4!
I've only had it for a few hours, and I've only been playing with it for about one of those hours (couldn't miss the season finale of GLEE after all), but I must say, tis amazing! I love the new design, and I can get such a wider variety of results with the pressure sensitivity on this one than with the older model.
Anyways, I decided just to fix up the character design I'd started a few days ago since I still wasn't all too happy with it, and I still have a ways to go but I feel it's looking a lot more fleshed out :)

more to come! Trust me, with this baby, the sketching shall definitely continue!

when the mind is TOO full, it's time to draw!

2010-06-04T23:56:00.000-07:00

I've found myself switching gears a lot this week. I'm struggling with so many different ideas for things that I want to do and have wanted to do for a while.. I wanted to get some new 3d work done before Comic-con in July (I feel like I've said this a lot already!) but I'm struggling to decide exactly WHAT to do. I would ideally like to collect three new pieces for my portfolio: an environment, a stylized character, and a realistic character.. I just can't decide which I should do first! as for the realistic character, I'm going to attempt to retrieve the tooth fairy from the now-dead computer, but if that doesn't work I may try to flesh out the guard character a bit more. As for the more 'cartoony' character, I've been trying to come up with a concept that I like well enough to work on (which is difficult since I rarely make something that I'm completely happy with). I want to do something fairly simple in terms of the model, and then spend a good deal of time taking it to a refined finish.
On the side, I'm still working on that illustration and taking laborious notes and plotting out a novel that will probably never be ready, but it's one of my goals to at least complete one. Anyways, with all this back and forth decision-making business, I decided to take a break and draw something up for fun... I MAY model this at some point, just because all this indecision is bad for me and I may as well start something, but regardless, it was a quick fun project :)
I started with a full-body sketch, but I'm still not happy with the lower half.. no harm in sharing though:

2010-05-21T18:09:00.000-07:00

Just a quick update on the previous post. Not sure when I'll actually get around to finishing this, but hopefully when things cool down with this other project, I'll have plenty of time :)

2010-05-14T00:33:00.000-07:00

Have been super busy lately, but got the chance to do a bit of rough doodling tonight! So, I present to you (my favorite) three thumbnails that resulted from this creative brainstorm.

more to come...
someday, I promise ;)

hugs

2010-04-07T12:56:00.000-07:00

just a quick doodle. Jeff was having a bad day, so I sent him a hug :)

Royal Guard -2

2010-03-28T19:59:00.001-07:00

So, I've taken my initial sketch and created another that's a bit more fleshed out. I never really decided whether I wanted these characters to look more human or slightly alien, so I may be changing this again soon, we shall see.
As usual, I'm still not 100% happy with this, but I feel like it's at least a bit closer to what I wanted. It may be a while before I get back to this character again, so I wanted to at least share it's current incarnation before (in essence) killing the re-doing it :)

Edit: made a few adjustments to legs and elsewhere, and am now experimenting with new PS brushes! Still just the beginning stages - I'll post again when/if I get further along :)

2010-03-19T00:44:00.001-07:00

So, I'm going to be super busy over the next couple of days, but I wanted to post this up, perhaps get feedback!
This is based on a story I started writing a while back, and while I never got very far with it, I did become attached to the idea of some of the characters. This is Amia and she is a member of the royal guard. I was inspired by Egyptian themes mainly because I envisioned this race as being sun-worshipers and a culture of prestige and tradition. They are a fairly peaceful culture, so their armor is mainly a decoration and symbol of status and wealth. Anyways, before I bore you any further with my descriptions, I'm including the original sketch as well as some initial color comps. Enjoy!

As always, comments are loved!
Hopefully I'll be able to post this weekend's project up sometime next week ;)

2010-03-11T14:57:00.000-08:00

Just a quick update. Sorry I haven't had the time to post anything lately, but I've been dealing with major technology issues lately.. which is the main reason for the update. Unfortunately, the computer upon which I was modeling the Tooth Fairy is now dead. I may eventually drag it in to retrieve some of my files, but for the moment, all projects done on that computer shall not be completed. I'm a bit depressed about it, but was rather itching to switch gears anyways, so perhaps this is a good thing - Which brings me to the good news! I finally updated my Mac! (yes. this should have been done ages ago.) and now Zbrush works on my computer! Of course, I should probably get an updated version of Zbrush, but for now I'm just happy that I have at least ONE computer that is capable of doing anything.
That's all for the moment, but because it seems strange to not include an image of some sort... I present to you, my (yawning) Buddy!

more graffiti!

2010-02-08T21:45:00.000-08:00

sketch done from a photo I took a while back at the Academy of Science in San Francisco. I rather like the way it turned out, despite not managing to finish it, but sometimes you just have to stop.. especially with graffitti since I figured it would probably crash if I took a break and left it to its own devices.
Enjoy!

Vector Turn

2010-02-01T21:03:00.000-08:00

Just another update on the tooth fairy. Not much was accomplished today, but the model is pretty much finished. Tomorrow I'll hopefully get far enough to take this into z-brush for a first pass.
That's all for now!

Sneak Peek

2010-01-31T22:28:00.000-08:00

Just a quick sneak peek of the Tooth Fairy as he looks at the end of today..

Tooth Fairy - as seen in Hellboy 2

the model! as seen in it's static T-pose... pose will come later!

Unfortunately, Maya sabotaged the other images I took, so this will have to do for now. I'm excited to start UV mapping and then getting it into Z-brush! The only modeling left to do is his teeth (which are a pretty prominent feature, and pretty massive) which will probably be kept simple and then sculpted in Z-brush. I'm really looking forward to finishing something new, and excited to see what I can do with Z-brush - all practice for the upcoming Dominance War V! Ah, the excitement!

"Waiting" re-hash

2010-01-30T22:34:00.000-08:00

More practice using Illustrator. This is an illustration I did a decent while ago, but I felt that it wasn't as clean as I had wanted it to be based on the style I was trying out. So, here is take 2!

"Waiting..."

I'm nearly done with the low-poly model for the Tooth Fairy. All that remains is to add nostrils, ears, and it's wings. Hopefully I'll be able to post a few renders of the wireframe tomorrow, just to update my progress. Until then, that's that!

Tooth Fairy

2010-01-27T00:25:00.000-08:00

So. I have finally settled on a project - one that I had wanted to do last year but never got the chance due to Dominance War (which will probably happen again since DWV is set to start fairly soon). I present to you, a turnaround (which took way longer than I thought it would) of a Tooth Fairy as seen in Hellboy 2.

That's all for now. Stay tuned!

she rules

2010-01-19T23:37:00.000-08:00

I've gotten into the habit of working on Maya in the mornings and then ending the day with a photoshop sketch.. so, I have yet another done tonight! Like the previous post, this is a sketch that I grabbed from an old sketchbook. I had fun playing with the styling of it.

I think tomorrow I shall have to try to actually render something in Photoshop instead of the more graphic style I've been gravitating towards lately - I could definitely use the practice!
Hopefully I'll be able to post the model and zbrush sculpt for my current personal modeling project. Nothing too exciting, merely a recreation of a sculpture that my family owns. I think I may make two versions of the sculpt, one of the straight sculpture, and another where I can put my own spin on it. We shall see. For now, that's all she wrote!

the quick and the cute

2010-01-18T23:25:00.000-08:00

Just a practice in Illustrator using a little sketch I made a while back. I'm debating on whether or not to render it or just leave it as is. But for now, voila!

I shall probably leave it in it's simplistic state and continue work on a few Maya projects I've been starting up - feels so good to be getting something done again *le sigh*
That's all for now! Stay tuned for more (I hope I hope)

Avatar... still haven't seen it in 3D - I should fix this

2010-01-13T21:10:00.000-08:00

So, this was done just for the heck of it - started in a moment of late-night insanity, no doubt. I'm posting it unfinished, mainly because I did the quick sketch before I left on my trip to San Luis Obispo, and I don't think it's really work revisiting it. It was done mostly for fun, after all. I mean, after seeing Avatar multiple times, one becomes curious as to what their own Avatar might be like... or perhaps it's just me ;)

I've done a few more pieces in my sketchbook that I will hopefully scan and post eventually, but seeing as how my room is currently in shambles and my scanner is hidden in the midst of it all, it may take a while.

2010-01-04T15:49:00.000-08:00

So, this Christmas was pretty much like most previous Christmases. I got practically nothing productive done besides taking care of my holiday shopping and making sure that my house was clean enough to pass my dad's inspections. It's become sort of a tradition now that I make something small for each of the relatives I visit on Christmas... nothing fancy, just a small sketch or painting - in this case, it was small watercolor paintings of poinsettias.

Again, nothing too fancy, but I was fairly pleased with how most of them turned out, and the rellies seemed to enjoy them, so I will consider my endeavor a success!
Now, if only I could find work >_<

2009-12-23T00:06:00.001-08:00

I used the Graffiti feature for the first time tonight. I figured, what better way to get back into painting via tablet than to practice with a medium that doesn't allow me to get nit-picky.
I think it came out rather well.. I really wanted to do more with it - especially with adding a few more darker tones and fixing the background, but I started having problems with my stylus, and eventually gave into frustration. I am also confused as to why on earth the final image looks as it should, but when I replay the video, a line appears out of nowhere!
Ah well, that's what you get for using a facebook app I suppose :)

Tree Spirit

2009-10-21T22:57:00.000-07:00

So, it's been a while since I posted much of anything here. It isn't because I haven't done anything recently, just that I haven't done anything worth sharing in a while. I'm going to start tackling a new 3d project next week - an environment - so we'll see how that goes. Then I may take a stab at Dave G's first 129 project, although, I've never been particularly fond of self-portraits. Or perhaps I'll make a portrait of someone else... tho, portraits of recognizable people are quite difficult to do well. I'm still working out concepts for a possible character to model in the future. So I'd like to present yet another stab at the "tree spirit" character. I like this concept, but may abandon it for an option that would provide more variety in textures - although I would love to try creating a realistic tree texture- which is why I've gone in this direction :)
The background to this image is a result of some Mucha inspired color studies I did earlier this week- since I feel like my color sense could use some improvement. The color in this image isn't particularly amazing, but I'm still working it out and this isn't really at a finished level yet.
Anyways, without further ado...

Any and all comments are appreciated!

random sketchness

2009-09-09T22:50:00.001-07:00

So, it's been a while since I posted anything up here.. and to be honest, it's been a while since I've done anything worth posting.
But, I figured it's about time to start up again. I'm playing with an idea for my next modeling project. I started doing some sketches the other day of a sort of wood-nymph type character - a tree spirit of sorts. I haven't really gotten very far with this yet, but I figured I could post up one of my quick sketches just because.
Now, this is nowhere near being a complete drawing/painting. It's really still in the ideation stage, and I'm thinking now that I might go more into a bonsai sort of shape and feel- since they offer a lot in terms of interesting shape and form. For now, I give you my earliest sketch - again, not a masterpiece, just an idea.

I wasn't happy with this sketch at all.. I felt that I was being too stereotypical and, in a very me way, making it too pretty and perfect-looking, so I did a quick painting over it. Nothin fancy, after all, this probably isn't even close to the design I'll actually end up with in the end. Anyways, on with the show!

and just for kicks, a sketch of a real tree! This was the day I realized that painting on one's computer outdoors is not the greatest... the colors definitely looked different outside o_O oh well.

It's been way too long since I painted with you, Photoshop! I need more practice. Hopefully I'll be getting into more of these sketches soon.

2009-05-18T19:55:00.000-07:00

I submit here for your approval, all of the work I've been doing for the past two months! I was participating in the "massive art challenge online" known as Dominance War
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, I essentially had 2 months to design, model, and texture a character based on the assigned story and criteria. I won't go into all the boring details, but rather show you the product of all my labors :)

My character is called Zyphire. Her design is inspired by a wasp (a small creature that has always terrified me). Like a wasp, her size isn't intimidating, nor is her spindly stature, but her Glaive can deliver quite a "sting" (how horrible was that??)
But yes! Without further ado, here is my work, as submitted to the competition!

2009-04-04T22:55:00.001-07:00

Hey all,
I'm posting again, isn't it amazing?
So, I've been working lately on my concept for Dominance War IV.
Her name (tentatively) is Zyphire, and she is an amazonian Wasp, Stalker class. I'm still working out the details, but her weapon will somewhat resemble the stinger of a wasp (which is in fact barbed on the ends and quite scary-looking) and will be either a hand-held gauntlet style weapon or a long-range glaive (because I have a weird love for glaives). The weapon will basically have the added affect of, very much like a wasps sting, spreading a numbing poison throughout an enemy's system, slowing and weakening them (unfortunately ineffective against the machine race).
While I have the generalities nailed down, I'm still working out her silhouette and coloring. Thus, I have thumbnails to show!
any suggestions or comments would be awesomely helpful :)

this first piece is the initial idea sketch I came up with...
not the final, just the starting point

that's all for now, but there's more to come!
these are my recent ideations/silhouettes... any thoughts as to which ones are working?

2009-03-08T00:48:00.000-08:00

Today, I was really missing drawing, and saddened by the fact that I haven't done any personal work in a long time. So, I decided to take a break from Maya for a minute (or few... hours) to do a piece just for my own personal enjoyment..
Now, I don't claim to be a great vis devver or illustrator, and it takes me a long time to get a piece that I actually like, so to even attempt this was quite an experience for me. I started with a few thumbnails and then rested on a scene that I get stuck in my head sometimes. It's not an altogether original image, but it was really more an experiment in technique. I found an artist who I really like in the book I bought at wondercon last weekend (Zotho Lhun) and decided to try out his style... which, of course I failed at miserably, but I feel like I found a good middle ground between his style and my own, which pleases me :)
This is in no way complete, and if I feel like it's working out well enough, I may even hazard my way through a color pass.
So, I present to you the first pass of my little illustration (which has yet to be officially named)
I am wholly open to crit, and would love to get your opinions/suggestions!
(the first image is of two of my thumbs, the first which I continued, and the second which I may eventually play with (depending on time).

hmm... I also just realized that I rather like it cropped in a vertical format too... it might even be better this way. At least, it manages to balance the piece a bit more :)

Well, I think it's time to get some well-earned sleep. Tomorrow, it's all maya all day!

2009-03-04T19:53:00.000-08:00

So, it has been a while since I last posted with any new work.. so, you may be asking if I have in fact done any work over the past few months? The quick answer: yes. The long answer: yes, but most of it is incomplete and unfit to "put out there".
Speaking of "out there", for my 129A class, we (the advanced students) are participating in Dominance War which is an online gaming competition. Unlike in the past where they've had only one main challenge, they have decided this year to introduce shorter mini-challenges. We were required to do the first which was due to be submitted by the end of monday.
The challenge was to take one of three pre-made poly meshes to work with, and create a character: a War General. The only real guidelines were that we could not change the maya mesh to break the silhouette and the character had to read as being a war general. The first rule wasn't so bad, it was making the guy look like a high ranking official that was the real challenge. I'm not sure I was successful in this, but I am somewhat happy with the results. I'm finally getting the hang of z-brush! Finally.
and so, I will present to you here, two versions of my war general. The first being the completed submission piece (which had to be rendered in maya on the original low-poly mesh) and the second is rendered straight from z-brush (3mill polys) with color map only.
Enjoy!

BFA + DaVinci

2008-11-21T21:12:00.000-08:00

So, for the past few months I've been working hard on BFA assignments as well as trying to keep up with Dave's class... This last assignment was based on the Decameron and was meant to portray a world founded on DaVinci's inventions that it struck by a horrible plague. My assignment as a modeler was to create two DaVinci inspired machines (that would need to be animated) and a Falcon. The falcon was created almost completely from photo reference, the airship was designed by Anthony, and the telescope was based on one of DaVinci's inventions used to raise columns (in this case raising the telescope).
I still feel like I have a long ways to go if I wanted to really perfect these models, but these are the renders that I submitted for our final submission today. SO, I present to you, the results of the DaVinci assignment :)

Airship (design by Anthony Ashton)

Falcon

Telescope

that's all for now... I'll hopefully get around to posting some of my work from earlier this year, but for now, I'm done with this project and on to the next!

2008-08-02T10:24:00.000-07:00

So, eventually I will post up some of my sketchbook pages from this summer... eventually..
for now, I'm once again having issues with transferring files from my laptop to this computer (which must be done, because I cannot post to blogger through my laptop for some strange reason).
SO! All I have to give to you is the scans of some 'commissioned' work... I use the word commission lightly because they were really just gifts ^_^
I did some doggy portraits - two of them were for my uncles for their two Havanese puppies(unfortunately I only have the scan of one of those). I also opted to try one out in color using my own pup, Buddy, as practice.
So, for your viewing pleasure, Jaspar and Buddy!

that's all for now folks!

a whole semester of stuff!

2008-07-10T13:56:00.000-07:00

Hello all, long time no post.
I know, I know, it has been more than a month since school let out, so why on earth haven't I posted anything? well, let's just say that I've been having some technical problems lately and the free wireless I'm using on my laptop isn't nearly good enough to allow for heavy image loading... so, finally, I have transferred everything onto the home computer and shall post them now!

firstly, I shall post my school assignments, let's just keep in mind that they still need a bit of tweaking here and there (especially the more recent ones)
we shall go from oldest to newest, I suppose.
the first assignment of the year was to create a kitchen environment based on a few short stories by Gary Soto...
voila!

the second assignment was to design a treehouse for the pre-teen boys from the same Soto stories... I'm still working on this one because I do see a lot more possibilities for changing and improving it.. but, for now, this is what my final submission looked like..
ideations

and final renders

The third assignment was based around the short story "The Drowned Giant"
now, at first, I really wasn't terribly inspired by this story... but, of course, as soon as I'd finished the assignment, I started to generate some far more interesting ideas that I may or may not follow up on... I'm not really pleased with how these turned out, but I do feel that if I took some more time on this assignment, I could really make some progress..

the final assigment was our character designs and an environment based on our characters... The character design project was about the biggest struggle I had this semester and so I'm not prepared to post it up here...
but I do have the environment, which was of the Donut Shop that my character would frequent. Again, I'm not too proud of this, but, at least I got the pat on the back and insistence from Courtney that I was improving lots... I still have a loooooong way to go though..
Donutz!

that is all for now.. I'll be back to post again within the week with what I've been doing recently (which isn't as much as I'd like...)
but, yes! posting will continue!

2008-04-21T10:36:00.000-07:00

this is a third attempt to post something here... my computer doesn't seem to like uploading images, so it's been a struggle just to get that far.. I'm hoping that, being at school where the internet isn't quite as shifty, I might actually have success this time!

anyways, this is a piece I did on Saturday.. Kelly, Ashley, and myself all met up at school to brush up on our photoshop skills (cuz Courtney keeps reminding our class that we suck at it)...
so, I did this portrait of Ashley while she simultaneously sketched me

sweet success! so, I'm not quite sure if my photoshop skills have improved at all, but I'm not horribly disappointed by how this turned out either...
man oh man do I have a lot of work to do for tomorrow... so much, I'm not even sure that an all-nighter would take care of it all... we shall see. Once again, I'm having trouble with Barron's class... mainly just the fact that I'm indecisive and don't know what I'm doing for our next project... which is due tomorrow evening... I don't know why I have such troubles with open-ended assigments... I guess I just prefer having guidelines...

winter break... and I'm still exhausted!

2008-01-10T23:20:00.001-08:00

okay, so I'm finally getting around to posting some of my work from this semester... mainly the stuff I did for 129A (maya modeling) so, for our final, we had to have our model completely textured, rigged, and then posed on our pedestals... This took me so long, and I still feel that if I were to go back and work over some of the things, I could make it a lot better (especially as far as the texturing and pedestal go). but, for now, I will present here what I submitted for my class final: these are three renders of my completed character...

and the final turnaround... *oooh, how the gold sparkles*

eesh, I'm tired... this break hasn't been very restful, and I really should be getting more done that I currently am... ah well. Two more weeks and it'll be back to the drawing board (literally) again!

2007-09-15T16:32:00.001-07:00

So, it's been a loooong time since I posted last, so I figured I'd share what I've been working on for the past several weeks for 129A (modeling characters in maya)
so, our assignment was essentiallly to create a character that we could model in Maya. So, the first task was obviously to think up a character and create a concept piece of this character. Then, we had to create a pedestal of their environment. Then, it was onto a detailed turnaround to be used as our basis for modeling...
I am currently working on a low-poly model of the character, which is taking less time than I thought it would... perhaps due to the fact that I'm actually enjoying working on it (as opposed to the cat jump animation I've been working on for the past three weeks straight)

This first image is my final concept piece for my character. yes. she's a pirate. A kick ass one, in my humble opinion. And I use this as trying to prove a point to my friends that a character can be sexy and powerful... while being fully clothed!

This is my first attempt at modeling my pedestal. Took me forever to get back into the swing of Maya, and there is still a lot to be done with it.

Lastly, this is my turnaround. I spent sooo many hours making sure that this was as accurate as possible, due to the fact that there are numerous fabric folds (yey wrinkles!). I'm very happy with how it turned out.

well, that's all for now. back to work!

first Maya project... complete!

2007-06-14T23:02:00.000-07:00

Okay, for some reason, my final animation refuses to upload on blogger, so that shall have to wait.
also, my first ever MAYA turnaround is WAAAAY too large a file to post up here.
So, all I can really do is post a still image of the object.
I modeled a silver Mickey watch that I've had around for quite some time... so long, in fact, that it doesn't actually run anymore. But, it is cute and shiny, and not horribly complex, sooooo, it made the perfect object to model!

again, this is my first complete project using MAYA, so I still have A LOT to learn... also, I need to learn to do it without so much extra help -__-

the final shot was not quite so yellow...
it was more like this :

current portfolio. well, as current as a portfolio can be in this major.

2007-06-01T22:51:00.001-07:00

warning.
This will be a super loooooong post.
I'm basically posting all of the pages of the 114 final portfolio. I will, of course, have to create a new one next semester for 115, so this won't be current for very long.
(a few pages look incomplete- my scanner decided to die the day before this was due, so some of the pages I had to go over very carefully by hand... I am also missing a page of lemur sketches that will be added eventually)
(Also, I'm sorry if a few of these pages are still a bit fuzzy. That will be fixed as soon as I get my new computer!)

onward!

LIFEDRAWING

ANIMALZ

ILLUSTRATION/CHARACTER DESIGN

SKETCHBOOK PAGES

So, that was my final final. I will also be posting my final animation up here sometime soon. But, I think that's enough posting for one night ^__^

Semester's end

2007-05-24T22:35:00.000-07:00

Well, the semester is finally over, and I'm sad to say that I don't feel I have much to show for it. I "completed" my tidepool, but am nowhere near satisfied with it (nor do I think I will ever be), but I'm thinking it's beyond fixing... for now.
I'll just hide it away somewhere for a while, then, in a year or so, I'll pull it out and spontaneously know exactly what to do! (I'm hoping that I will be in the know by then).

I shall post the final sketch up here as soon as I'm alive and able. I'm happy with my sketch, at least. Bunny said that it was a strong drawing, but the painting fell short.
I will also be posting my final film (sack pantomime) for 114. I'm mostly satisfied with how that turned out. There are still a few spots that could be smoothed over, but when there's a deadline, there's a deadline!

So, for now, I am done (until summer51 starts in two weeks).. and stress free! well, perhaps the stress-free will have to wait until after grades are posted. But now, I am going to go get the sleep that I so desperately need.

113 renderings

Posting up my renderings from 113A last semester.
first is the Black and White, and then the second which is the color version (that I am happy to say made it into the Museum of American Illustration in New York.. also, a congrats to Andrea for the win!)

I am testing to see if I can successfully post my animations to this site.
This is my first ever film, so, it's obviously not perfect... not even close.
But, considering that it's my first attempt at animating anything other than a brick, sack, ball, etc.... I'm not terribly disappointed ^_^
I will probably attempt to fix it up and cure it of its issues this summer when I might actually have spare time! For now, that time will be spent working on my tidepool.
I'm hoping to make posts showing my progression of my tidepool project from the first thumbnails to the final drawing to the final painting, but it shall all depend on my time management or lack therof.
Without further, I present to you, my first animation: Shy Valentine (was completed just before valentine's day)

okay, so this is a fairly old drawing. It is the Eliza character design project from Sheldon's class last semester. While it's a bit outdated, I'm still rather proud of it, considering it was my first real attempt at character design.

first post!

I have decided to finally start uploading my artwork to a blog. It's about time, yea?
Unfortunately, I'm only able to use the family computer, which means that I have to fight for usage. In other words, the posts will probably be scarce at times. As soon as summer hits town I'll be able to spend more time uploading my work (as well as working on more personal projects).
I do not have any artwork available to post today, but will be sure to get something up by the end of this week!
