• visual development project
• portfolio : 2/15

last week of crunching week.

Almost.

its almost to the end of the semester. assignments are piling up, everyone is rushing around, stress levels rises up which means bad mood and falling ill. and yes, i have bad mood constantly and have fallen ill today. i gave school a miss to rest at home and luckily, since i have a clean record of attendance, missing a class will not jeopardize my results or anything of the sort. recently, i got out whatever art books i have, hoping that they could help me in terms of getting inspiration for portfolio. and luckily they do help as now i have quite a number of ideas in my head, the only problem now is that how do i get them onto my paper.

oh by the way, the books i have are (not much really.)

• Manga bible zero (bought this for help in posture)
• Sailormoon art book (its dated 1994 yet it still has pretty pictures)
• vampire knight art book (my classmates got this for me )
• end of eternity design works (i like the concept of the game thus i got this)
• Pallidity Monolity by kidchan (lovely drawings inside in gray scale)
•  Requiem by toonikun
• Monochromantica by kunisaki (i love the pencil sketches)
• Gothic and Lolita bible by tokyopop (i dont fancy tokyopop stuffs but this is cheap..)
• Vivi march 2011 (i know its an old issue but this gives me ideas on fashion)

most of them are really thin and small books. i still long for a book which has an art style that i really like + its thick with lots of illustrations inside. i have been recommended Pixiv before but as i flip through the book, only some styles appeal to me, and the book is not cheap either thus i did not get it. But recently, Foo midori has a new art book which i think would be worth my money to get. i am still considering though.

so here is just a little bit of an extra, as i notice its really boring for me to keep posting up my assignments week after week. i do hope i can share more things in the future. i cant show you guys the kiwi project yet as it is not fully complete. my aunt just gave me a call saying that i need to print more kiwis for her to hang up and also some other new design. phew, its really not easy to do a job for another person. but i guess, the experience is rather fun despite it is straining.

oh and the usual, i always need my assignment list here :

• Japanese roleplay (this thursday)
• visual development character design (this friday)
• 3D maya character clothes concept (this wednesday)
• 3D maya character clothes modelling
• visual development environment sketches
• drawing sketchbook assignment 0/10 pages
• story completion of remaining works
• story project illustration
• CFM filming
• portfolio 2/15

hell, hell hell. i better clear the ones due this week fast. there is still so much to do. i seriously wonder if i have time for portfolio…. but oh well, when semester break comes, i am really gonna play to my fullest. wait, but before that, there is still a studio project to tackle. oh great. i am cooked.

shopping at kinokuniya during saturday! something to look forward to~

and then, another week.

but with some changes, other than assignment, but i gain something that shall enhance my internet usage even more. so i guess i will blog more often. maybe not, i will be probably, too tired to do so. afterall, school is still pretty hellish, and the end of the semester is coming. which means, more assignments + a project coming up. *dreads* but let us have the usual first before i talk.

• visual development character assignment
• visual development environment sketches
• story set of characters assignment
• story project illustration
• drawing – 2/7 pages
• character clothes concept for 3D Maya
• Japanese role play practice
• portfolio – 2/15

okay. here are the usual. pretty nerve wrecking but manageable.

firstly, the kiwi project is successful. its certainly pleasing to see my own drawing, getting printed on A2 poster. the moment when the store assistant held it up to let me verify, i was speechless. and paused for a moment before i actually nodded my head and said “yes, it is.” i was really excited and happy. i rush to get a cab and while inside the cab, i took it out again to admire it. the colors came out brilliantly. and paper is nice and thick. no defects or anything. i put it back really carefully and called my mom to tell her about my happiness and excitement.

after that, i passed it to my aunt. she didn’t manage to see it yet when i was there as she was busy. i hope she will like it as much as i do. after doing that, my heart felt really light and nice, i feel so blur as all my burdens feel like they vanished at that instant. i felt like drinking apple juice really badly thus i bought one small bottle and gulped it down. it feels like, the best apple juice, ever. after hours and hours of hardworking, troubles and worries, finally. i am almost done.

whats left is to see it being placed up. i cant wait to take photos of it. its a once in a life time moment after all :)

also, my life is still really rocky this week. but i am dealing with it.

so i guess that is all. i shall get a cup of coffee and work on my assignments

its really boring

boring life. more like a life stuck with tons of work. i am just basically working and working all day long. not enough rest and etc. but somehow its fun, but yet on the other hand, i sank into some trouble which i wont talk about it here. other than that, everything is pretty okay. only the workload is hell and i have a lot to finish.

• visual development project, character (monday)
• portfolio : 0/15  (monday)
• sketchbook assignment for drawing 2/5 (tuesday)
• story set of characters assignment (thursday)
• story project, rough idea + layout (thursday)
• japanese assignment 1-9 , SDL2 (thursday)

yep that is all. seems little but i am really tired.
okay i will just figure out a way to finish. being an art student is never easy. they grind you like mad. *points to my school as one of the examples*

i am glad that i dont have 3D to handle this week. all the more i should work faster on other assignments instead of slacking off.
till then

oh, i am almost done with the kiwi project! i will post up some pictures soon

oh great.

yea oh great. updated list of assignments!

• 3D Maya – fixing of topology
• 3D Maya - modeling of hair
• 3D Maya – blenshape
• Japanese assignment – SDL2
• Japanese assignment – 1-8 worksheet
• visual development – redoing of environment
• visual development group project – proportion
• visual development group project – research
• visual development group project – style exploration
• story – illustration
• sketch book drawing – 5/5 pages
• kiwi project part 2

hmm yea. i branch them out as each section is rather big and it takes ages to do. 1 sub section is as good as an assignment itself.

good luck to myself. *sigh*

gone were the holidays

holidays are over. wait a minute, are those even considered holidays? i guess so. but i am still heavily busy with work during the holidays. geez, my school didnt like us to rest at all. but no matter, at least i have cleared most of my assignments. but the bad news is that newer assignments came in. so its pretty much a good luck to me. its gonna be like 2 more months before i can have my next break. 2 months is pretty short, but i am sure there will be some hellish work load. yea. *weeps*

• visual development environment redo
• visual development project – research, proportion study, character line up
• kiwi project – drawing of solo kiwis
• kiwi project – drawing of backgrounds
• kiwi project – finish up big drawings
• portfolio – 0/15

hmm, to a certain extent, its a lot. but i wrote them in much more detail so that i can figure out what is going on. this is only monday and i have so much to do. i simply cant think what else will the other lessons add on. okay, actually i can guess some of them already. but i decided not to put them in yet until they are confirmed.

very boring post i will say. my brain is still pretty drained. okay, i shall get back to work. so yea, see ya, at the end of the week which prolly i will post a new post with my new list of assignments. okay, that is just so sad.

let this stalk me

• 3D maya, modeling of face
• visual development, color script (due next friday)
• visual development, color scheme (due next friday)
• visual development group project
• contemporary film project
• Japanese e learning assignment
• kiwi project part 1, 2 , 3
• portfolio 0/15

yes i am putting this as my latest post to haunt me down. (must do work, must do work..)

newer post is just below.

oh dear. i better clear my assignments up.

Update again

Here is something fun. which is the difference in my art style in less than a year. pretty scary in a way in which how much i have change. probably some of you will say that it still looks the same, i think so too but when i put them side by side, gosh. they are very very different. some told me that they look different in many ways, but it still carries the “feel” that its drawn by me. it might be a bit of unfair comparison due to one is colored and the other is in black and white. but i havent done any complete colored works for now yet, thus i have nothing to compare with.

just focus on the style. one is really anime like. blasphemy anime style. not saying anime style in general is a blasphemy, but my way of drawing them is a complete disaster. how, awful it looked. i wonder how in the world did i ever submit this as part of my portfolio submission? (and yes the above 2 are used as my first portfolio submission.) i fell deeply in love with ink thus i did many works in ink in my sketchbook. but i am jumping back to pencils these days as i am trying to do more practice in terms of shading etc.

so now, fun time is over.

• 3D maya, modeling of face
• visual development, color script (due next friday)
• visual development, color scheme (due next friday)
• visual development group project
• contemporary film project
• Japanese e learning assignment
• kiwi project part 1, 2 , 3
• portfolio 0/15

oh wow. yes assignments. i need to get working on them faster. oh well.
that is all for the fun part of this post. i shall be back to reading and drawing some more. hopefully i will get to post up more artworks.

i need to improve so much more. my current level is seriously not good enough yet. *looks at better classmates*

Start of term break.

finally, my 2 weeks term break is here. and hear i thought i could finally slack and rest, but no. the teachers bombed us with lots of assignments once again and it gets really upsetting that i still have so much assignments to clear within 2 weeks. but oh well, this is how a media design course work, we are constantly working, non stop. okay i shall gather up my assignments first…

• 3D maya, modeling of face
• visual development, color script (due next friday)
• visual development, color scheme (due next friday)
• visual development group project
• contemporary film project
• Japanese e learning assignment
• portfolio 0/15

yes, my list of assignments. and darn it, each of them are not really easy to work on. especially Maya, where i have to model my own face. yes my own face. i was forced to take a mug shot in class but oh well, i better do this well as this assignments carries a high percentage. as for my contemporary film project, since its a group work, it shouldnt be too stressful. but the problem is it takes up time, and i better clear this up fast. my visual development assignments are not easy too, hopefully i can clear quickly the ones needed to submit on next friday. but the mere thought of my visual development project sends me the chills. there is so much to do and i cant afford to flund it as it carries a lot of percentage and visual development is one of my core modules…

i guess the more relaxing ones (i think) will be my story assignment and Japanese assignment. hopefully things will go smoothly for them. then lastly, portfolio. dont ask me. i dont know what to do for it yet. my course coordinator wants us to focus more on concept, so i better start tweaking around. speaking of that, my aunt contacted me to do some concept and final drawings on kiwis. i guess i can add those into my portfolio. and yes kiwi as in the fruit. and it seems like a fun project too, i get to have a lot of freedom with it. the only problem is i will have to travel to her workplace a lot to show her my progress. i heard its for a competition… (sounds fun anyway)

so yea. my holiday is pretty much a bye-bye. my Maya teacher told us that we have tons of assignments to do, but he told us not to fret so much as we still have the luxury to do our assignments in our pajamas. hey, in what way is that comforting?

i guess i will hang out this holiday, meet up with my friends to work on assignments together.i better start working or else soon, i will be flooded with assignments at the last few days due to procrastination.

okay. lemme get a cup of coffee first.
