Almost finished timing exercise.

Timing exercise that I turned in today. Almost there with the timing!

Pose test for a timing exercise!

Gotta work on my inking.  X____X

Perspective final.

Here's stuff from my perspective final. I did scenes based on a book called Redwall.


I should really fix the fence to correct the perspective on the road. >_>

I wish I had more time to for the stone walls.

Unfortunately boring composition but I like what I did with the dead rats.

Summer break.

Summer break has been pretty good so far. I am finally feeling like I am caught up on sleep. I've spent some quality time with friends outside of school and spent way too much money.

Here's a picture of a funny-looking Thor plush Vicky won for me with one of those claw games.

Finally free~

I'm finally done with finals! It actually feels weird to not have class and projects. I am looking forward to catching up on sleep, hanging out with friends, going karaoke, and completing personal projects. I also can't wait to work again. Time to save up for my Japan fund! :]

I am going to miss you crazy LCAD kids (those of you that I can't see over the summer).

Here's a random picture from my last beach cleanup. I got a lot of compliments on my silly kite.

Sculpture final.

I had my last day of sculpture class two days ago. My project turned out pretty okay. The teacher seemed to like it and told me I should continue doing sculpture. Not sure if I have time or money for it, but it's something I'm definitely interested in. Why can't I just major in everything? Anyway, here are some photos taken with my terrible cellphone camera.

End result for a 5 week pose. Roughly 12 hours spent on this (I missed a day of class).


Haha, notice how the lighting changes because of my terrible camera.

I'm going to be going to the local library to check out some books on lions. I really hope I manage to turn in a good animal drawing project tomorrow.

Just two more to go!

Visual storytelling final finished!

Finally finished my visual storytelling project. It took many tiring hours and I'm not satisfied with the last two pages. I had to rush at the end and details are missing. I like it overall though (and hopefully so did my classmates). This was originally done in blue col-erase pencil and on manga paper. The scanned version doesn't quite look as nice as the originals. I'll probably fix some panels and ink it over the summer. Here's the scanned greyscaled version.







Now I have to revise an essay and work on animal drawing. Seems like there's no end to all these final projects. :[

Three down and three more to go!

Animation final preview.

Had to retime my animation final and pretty much started over. This is from hours ago before I did the breakdowns and inbetweens. Still super rough. I will be posting a more finished version later.

Version 1


Retime version

This still needs a lot of work, but I'm getting closer on the timing!

Oh man, so tired from these 10+ hour work days. Why do I do this to myself every finals week? :[
I got a lot done today though. I got to page 5 of the comic and finished most of the details for the previous pages. I also made good progress on the animation. Just 30-40 something more inbetweens and adding of the arms and facial features to go~~!

Next post will most likely have the rest of the comic pages.

VS final preview part 2.

I got to my third page in the project today. I'm about 50% done with everything. I am making good progress on this (while neglecting other projects) but still unsure whether to ink everything or not. Here are some not so-great-scans of my work in progress.




Tomorrow will be animation day. x_x

Finals, I am going to kick you in the face!

VS final preview.

Here's a preview of my visual storytelling final. It's a rough version of my first page (out of 6). I'm missing some details and shading. Not sure if I'll have time to ink and color everything. I think I'll just end up scanning the cleaned up final version and changing the blues to black on Photoshop. I'll hopefully have most of it done by the end of the weekend.


I didn't get time to work on my animation stuff today because I forgot my revision notes at home. A post of my animation in progress will be up tomorrow!

Oh man, I'll be living at Big Bend for most of this weekend. D:

Animation progress!

So far progress has been kinda slow. I have the timing down (I think) for my scene. I have to finish my breakdowns by tomorrow and do a pencil test. And then it's the super fun inbetweening! :[

Only 14 images left to draw for tonight? :/

I probably should not have gone to the beach cleanups this weekend. I got some money out of it but going really did not help my sickness. Sigh. I did get to see some grey whales and dolphins though. That was pretty cool.

I also spent most of the beach cleanup money on food and art supplies. Why is the artist life so expensive?

I'll post my pencil test tomorrow. Please let it turn out okay! >.<

Summer job?

Pretty excited. Got a job for the summer!! No more being lazy at home like last summer!

Restaurant scene V1

This is a pose test for my final project in animation. It's pretty rough with just 8 keys. Will be updating with progress in the weeks to come.

Sculpture part ??

So here is my final project in sculpture class. This is 2 weeks in (out of 5). I'm making pretty good progress on it considering an hour of my first day was wasted on fixing the armature. Stay tuned as I either mess this up or turn it into something super cool!


I like the side view much more. D:
