Portraits/Noirdic

Here is what I believe to be an almost finalized Noirdic design.

It was originally part of...

I have begun to notice people in my life drawing class have really interesting features. 

Plans going into ActioN!

For a couple weeks, I have thought of an animated short featuring my very own characters Nordic, Mr. Cat, the Oepids and his minions. These characters will be introduced soon! It'll be exciting! This will be my first attempt at a short.

I am feeling.... EXCITED. ESTATIC. SCARED. CREATIVE. with a runny nose...!

Schoolwork~Comp & Color

Going to LCAD was an awesome choice. I drew a lot more than I would if I had decided not to go to college.  I'm really happy with LCAD right now, and next semester I will be taking my first animation class with Dave Kuhn!

Below are the works I like that I did in the Fund. of Comp&Color by N. Olsen. (awesome teacher and artist)

I had to compose studies consisting of only letters according to each design elements below. It was fun but very graphic design-ie.

The series of the guy smoking is actually a propaganda poster. I had to do variations of the b&w. It was actually one of the assignments that was most time consuming. *^*

For the below assignment, I had to do an abstract piece with targeted focal points. You can tell where the focal points are. I really didn't have any inspiration for another versions, so I turned in the one that took me 5 min -_-;; I hope Nathan doesn't see this 

This one is the final individual assignment (the final is to compose a digital notebook of all works done for the class). The 3 main characters are Mr. Nordic (on balcony), Mr. Cat, and... (not sure yet). But they have a complex relationship :P I'm planning to do an animated series on their stories.

I will post my figure drawing works next week! 

Dr. Fui doesn't like it when things are out of order

No. He doesnt.

Mr. Nordic

Above is Mr. Nordic. I've been drawing him obssessively over the past few days. An antagonist of a short story I've been.... brewing. It is very inspired by Phantom of the Opera. I love that gothicky feeling and the Victorian style. He's very sketchy here, so I'm wondering if he will look terrible cleaned up..

Anyway, I missed LCAD Major Rush Night. It's an event which students submit personal artworks and if accepted by the department heads, it'll be showcased. It seemed like a pretty big deal. However, I was just too sleepy to stay any longer :/ I hope it was great for those who went. I wanted to see what's up with the students' artworks.

UGGGHHHHH!!!!

So after a LONGGGG break, I decided I wanted to try some digital paintings. I haven't drawn ever since I upgraded my OS, so I wanted to test it out. But to my dismay.... the brush lagged and lagged and .... lagged. >:O I'm mad!!

Let's skip my nagging.. it's annoying. Here's a character I sketched up this afternoon waiting for College Skills to start. He's my first draft of an antagonist on my short story. I'll have to make him look younger though. Hmm... Yaaaa (Darn photoshop! AND I can't find my sketchbook)
