nope, haven't slept yet

INNER WARRIOR! last weeks topic on the Titblog, but i didn't get around to finishing it till now. getting used to drawing on a bamboo again...

and even my inner reptile hunting warrior needs glasses.

HELLO AGAIN!

i offer this as a returning gift for what i hope will be a more productive year (in terms of blog postings)

(this was a test of a new paint setting in PS5, which is pretty cool despite being mostly impractical in a work setting)

and with the mention of new things, i have recently begun working at Titmouse Inc. it's been pretty awesome so far.

i've also moved to a new place recently and my room is still unorganized. so right now i am battling a dangerous urge to tidy and organize by posting this blog post then getting back to drawing.

but i really want to cleeeeeaann....

SO, if there isn't a blog post in a bit, i either started cleaning instead or forgot.

or went to sleep.

so yes.

i hope to be posting regularly very soon.

i have not posted anything in a long time....

giving TV Paint another go, aaand... meh.

i drew the dog with my eyes closed because Ethan was making fun of me for some reason that i have forgotten.

alsoooo, this is great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu0qtEwb9gE

i love this video so much.

ehhhh, i have a bit more work to do so i will do that.

the only news other than that is i recently bought a bio-diesel compatible car and am visiting Canada next month. i love my car, and am looking forward to Canada very much.

i apologize for this dismal little scribble.

i did something!

i maybe have some time i need to use up this weekend, hopefully that will work.

allan is so talented, he drew the amazing guy

huh, i thought i posted this but i guess it didn't stick...

anyways-HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEARS

i guess; drawing this is the only really good thing that happened today. i think i will go home to try drawing some more now

so suddenly i am a background artist. i thought it would be alot harder than it is, but i think i did okay today. learned quite a bit...

doing that also inspired me to finish some more things that have been floating around, like a couple of colorful RT monsters...

very colorful
i think i like designing and layout better than animation now, it's a little more relaxing, probably because i don't have to think about flash complications.

found this in one of my folders and decided to wrap it up.

first off are a couple Rising Tide related things, the bug one i guess i never posted here, and the other is from a couple weeks ago-but i forgot to post it too.

i hope everybody had a good holiday, i sure did! 3 whole days of snow made me feel alot better...i think part of my drawing slump was not getting away from Burbank.

so today and the past few days i have been thinking more and more about the Fu dog and fish-monkey-blue guy, and even though work is looking a little overbearing this coming year, i want to try to finish a short film with them. at the least a little test. i have alot of other things i need to clear away first, but i still want to do it. so, here's hoping!

happy new year!!

i saw 3 whole days of snow, it was great and it was snowy!

here's hoping for a good year, and hopefully more drawings that aren't touchpad drawings

i am still having a tough time not only drawing but finishing anything i start drawing, so here are some rejected robots from "the space film" from my sketch book. i don't have a scanner, so i redrew a few of them in photoshop. it seems to be all i can muster for drawing, because i started several RT monsters and some dragons and can't seem to comfortably finish any...

hang'n around at work....this new thing at work is about wrapped up, and i've been hanging around in case something needed some animation tweaking. whilst waiting, i drew this:
which is fanart for this: http://bestiario.org/web/media/19/preview/index.php?id_proyecto=19
then i did this, to see if i still knew how to use photoshop, because i have been animating in flash for about 5 days straight now. photoshop is a total breath of fresh air.

i also decided to start signing my work again, but i can't remember why i decided that...

okay, good night

the coloring, the more i see it, is atrocious, but this was very very very very relaxing.....haaaaaaa..........

getting ready to go home so i can come back in to work tommorrow...or maybe i'll sleep here....hmmmmmmmm.......zzzzzzzzzzz........................

surprisingly, it has not happened in 2 whole days (KNOCKONWOODKNOCKONWOODKNOCKONWOOD)

yes, have i ever mentioned how great Flash CS4 is? how nice and stable it is? how useful 3d rotation and bones are? i haven't? woah!

it gets the job done, though

i really want to be drawing right now..... finishing the unfinished RT robot and drawing something more detailed than this:
work is completely spooky when nobody's here.... i haven't decided if it's just a naturally noisy building or if it's full of spooks.


i do love this weird brush i just found in Photoshop

back to work...

the 48 Hour showcase was yesterday, and although the shorts were phenominal, it left me feeling extremely artistically frustrated (i think the combination of superior films coupled with my team's incomplete film tripled with having to work on a project i really don't want to work on today)

so...i took a moment to draw something i might try to animate in photoshop. i still am considerably intimidated by the notion, but i've been wanting to do it for a year.



but i don't know yet, i don't know quite where these are going and i still have at least 3 little projects set aside already and i should clear them up first.

oh yeah, and the 48 hour film...i'll link it when it gets finished, which may be soon.

all of the things i've been drawingon the computer lately are dragons or various reptilia, have you noticed?

the top is my Left 4 Dead icon. the dragon was actually drawn in Flash several months ago, but i set it aside and forgot it.

i've only been drawing people this week and i'm thinking of buying a scanner for myself, the 48 hour film is about finalized-and the final thing will be shown tommorrow, going to a birthday party tonight, and working all weekend.

was wrapping up 48 hour film stuff, buuuut.....yeah.

speedy scribble, i don't know what he is.

work is crazy and i haven't recovered from 48 hour films yet, so i haven't even had a chance to play Left 4 Dead 2 (probably tonight).

i will link the film once it's over and done, it has dinosaurs and the moon and a nerdy sun and kittens and violence and an eerily epically written sound track. yooooou will see.

IT'S TIME!!!

had some time today for some drawing, and this is it.

hung out and saw alot of Calarts folks this week, that was cool. also bought Robocop 3 and Hotshots for cheaps, and saw Star Crash last night. Star Crash is awesome. i still can't figure out if the robot couldn't bend hus elbows because of the costume or because that was his acting choice as a robot.

there is also Rock Band at the office now. it is very very noisy...and lots of fun.

qiuckness for monthies, which may (more than likely) be going to go on a little break. probably not forever, but a good piece of time since everybody is preoccupied

happy halloween!

possibly going to Santa Monica or to a Candy-Movie party....ooor even to see The Room.

halloween costumes i've seen so far are Tommy from the room, a guy from Twin Peaks, Meg from Hercules, and the guy from Die Hard, and a priest i don't recognize

hi yall! i actually have been drawing alot lately, but it's all for secrety-work stuff, so i am sorry to say i may not be posting for quite some time. but here is this amusing drawing of a stegasaurus!

maybe for this month i will tell you about my week instead of posting drawings! like today, i am going to someone's birthday and tommorrow a Halloween party which will be fun. On tuesday, my dying cell phone was finally put to rest by the Washing machine, which marks the end of like...my 7th phone now. the previous phones have been stollen, mysteriously lost, broken prior to my having them, or dropped in puddles or exploding soda cans. this new one will hopefully not have to suffer such fates, but looking at previous events...

this week i watched 2001 Space Odyssey and Mind Game, and i very much like and hardly understand both. i would like to read the 2001 books...

i am also trying to not play Left 4 Dead for the whole week. i've gotten pretty far, but the coworkers make it pretty tough.

lastly, last weekend i had a "big" road trip to the Mojave preserve as well as the Arizona State line (we didn't have enough time to get into AZ unfortunately). it was extremely stress relieving, and maybe i will post the photos once i get them scanned, that way you can see some sand dunes, some crazy kids on a bunch of rocks, Terrence and Marti.
the one weird thing about the desert is it is full of tires, glass, and panties. i am not sure what makes it a good place to dump your undergarments...

now i hope everybody has a good halloween and weekend and a next week! i will try to manufacture some non-work-drawings if i can...

something, i dunno...

going to see Where the Wild Things Are soon, maybe i will get some inspiration?

also, in the act of redesigning/organizing my blog, this was briefly entertaining.
i apologize for how unprofessional my blog layout is right now, but i am sleepy and must return to fix it later

oh yeah! tonight i went to see the Girls Drawing Girls show at Hayena(or some other spelling?) and hung out with Calarts chums and got some coffee at a mexican restaurant whilst purchasing 2 small canvas paintings of delicious meats. i am going to hang them on my wall! i also bought a magnetic Jesus Dressup, so that i may have more magnets for my fridgidaire! and tommorrow(or today i guess) i hope to see Where the Wild Things Are to top off a fine weekend.


in other past events (which i always forget to report) i saw Zombieland which was awesome and i bought the Metroid Prime Trilogy...which i really shouldn't have because i 1: technically have the trilogy and 2: find it highly distracting from spare-time-drawing/working.

i also need to catch up on some drawing and painting i actually need to get out of the way, but there are no places to buy nice paints here in Burbank-that is unless i am missing a brilliant art store near by??? maybe?

i've definitely hit some kind of art block, so this is all i got: a couple of Monster Blog sketches can't quite seem to finish...or start


and then this was a left-hand-lunch sketch. bonus Calarts points if you can name the guy there.
the clowny-guy is actually a coworkers drawing, so i can't take any credit for that guy.

i feel obligated to post something that's not Fanart i guess. and i think i'm gonna change my layout again soon.

i'm still going to keep the pokemon blog separate though.
