Finished and mounted the midterm for Digital Illustration. I'm happy with how it turned out. The printer at Office Mas played with the colors a bit, but I'll live. It still looks good.
Oh. And I finally started cleaning up my ODST helmet. I'm thinking a black and red theme.

Got some of the homework done. For illustration class, we had a project that involved type. I took the first letter of each season and illustrated it. I had fun drawing all the leaves and petals. It was drawn first by hand and colored in Painter with the Digital Watercolor brush.
Still no new intuos4 tablet. Still backordered. Oh well. At least it's coming.
Haven't gotten the chance to work on any personal stuff yesterday or today. The PBR tournament in Dallas yesterday took up all of my Saturday. But that was for my mom's birthday and so worth it. She really enjoyed it and I learned alot.
That tv was amazing! I found myself watching the tv most of the time. The detail was jaw-dropping.  The bulls were cute too. lol

Yeah. Fun times. Not only do I have my normal homework to do, but the Illustration teacher wanted to challenge me and has given me an extra project.
I now have a month to storyboard as much of Neil Gailman's Neverwhere as I can. I'm excited though. Went out and bought a copy so that I can write notes in it. I'll be doing digitally too.
Also going to try and get the commission finished this weekend and some more of the novel written.
Another interesting note, my super loving mom has decided to investmore in my future by buying me a Wacom Intuos4 tablet. Unfortunatly, it's backwordered so I have no idea when it will come in. sob

Found time between classes to start some sketches of the potentail characters for my brother's Halo fan comic. He was nice enough to grab a bunch of good pictures from several angles of his friends.
Also, working more on my current commission. Messed around with the background digitally yesterday to figure out exactly what I wanted to do.  Figured I post the cleaned up sketch too.

Had an in class assignment in digital illustration. Wasn't that hard. Teacher gave us a stock photo and told us to alter it. Not having my wacom handy, I resorted to using adjustments in color, dodge and burn, as well as a filter. While I normally don't like and or do this kind of photo-manipulation, I actually kinda like this one. Odd huh?

This wasn't really a planned cosplay, more of an experimentation with liquid latex in preperation for my next big cosplay. I saw the tutorial on youtube [link] and decided to try it. No reason for me to waste a bunch of latex if I don't know how to use it, right?
My brother is going to be the one using this. He'll be building a gun to go along with it eventually. With the way things look now, it will be another pepakura gun from a model that I create.
I've still got a bit of painting left to do before it's con ready. I need to find something to give it the slightly slimy look...

Working on the thumbs and roughs for my midterm for digital illustration already. I also spent a good portion of critiques yesterday drawing my classmates. They were such good models... lol
And for you-know-who-you-are, I'm still working on the commission.
