Mid-Program Review

Crit Please? I know I still got some cleaning up to do but would like to know what you think of it in its state.

Also here's my personality walk for Ani 51b. I want to include it but not entirely sure how much of it I should have.

Pinecone Painting

To me personally pinecone should really just be one word, you know kind of like pineapple, although I guess there's probably some weird English rule that will override my wish for pinecone to eventually become one word. However until such time occurs, I shall continue writing pinecone as one word. Maybe someone could explain to me why pinecone is spelled that way. Okay, back to the point of this post.

This project took several hours to complete, although while I am pleased with how it turned out, I feel like I could have done a whole lot better on it. Hence why I am deciding to redo my painting hopefully in the relatively upcoming future, even though I'm going to be working on another project at the same time. I really want to nail this painting as best as I can. This painting was done in acrylics on a 7" x 10" illustration board. Anyways, here is my painting!

Lasagna

So last post I said something about getting supplies to make lasagna. Well don't fret I did end up making the lasagna with my roommate, or is it apartment-mate? What would you call someone that lives in the same apartment as you? I mean he doesn't live in the same room as me, but we live in the same apartment. I guess it would be apartment-mate? Anyways check out some pics of this b-e-a-uuuutiful lasagna!

Yummmm.... More pictures after the break.

Third Digital Painting

Here is the next one in the semester long series of 90 minute digital paintings. Gosh today has just been...well, tiresome to say the least, learning so much in both modeling in painting as well as in Maya. Anyways gotta go out to get ingredients to make lasagna!

Second Digital Painting

This is another 90 minute Digital Painting assignment from my advanced painting class. Gosh, this week has just been so....mind bending. Wouldn't that be an awesome power in Avatar? Instead of elemental bending you could also mind bend? You could like create illusions to work against or for your opponents. I guess that's kind of a more offensive skill than defensive. Sorry, tangent. Anyways, here it is. I'll be honest, I really wish I was better at this, but that can only happen through practice so until such time that I do get better you'll have to deal with these....practices.

Onward to practice!

Attempting to Paint Digitally

So the mark of a new semester, I'm taking an advanced painting class this semester as well as an introduction to modeling in Maya. I am both terrified of the idea and incredibly excited about taking these two classes. I mean of course I'm taking two G.E. courses. Anyways, I don't have that much experience with painting digitally so this was an interesting assignment to do. We had to copy the painting (not paint over it) to the best of our abilities for 90 minutes. And this was the result.

Copy (no real need to point it out but thought might as well):

I'll be honest, this wasn't all that great, fun, but definitely not great. But the idea is to keep getting better at it throughout the semester! :)
