WELCOME TO THE ARTBLOG!  
[ Image Coming Soon! ]

Welcome...to Senshuu's art blog! Sen posts here in-between artings

-when there's something nice to post
-when there's something so laughably bad it must be posted
-just because

I only have a few requests:

-Make useful comments! Useful comments are anything from encouragement to critique. I admire sincerity!
-Critique when I ask! And critique when I don't! And try not to be ass about it. I appreciate critique very much and am always open to it! On eeeverything!

Other than that...HAVE FUN.

Special Notes: Everything I post here is mine unless I say otherwise. That's it!

kya  

I will never have a "hot" style. Everything will always look sort of "cute."
I guess I'm okay with that. I can make it work.
I just have to come to terms with that fact, lol.

For the record, I graduated Magna Cum Laude. Only one with honors in my department, too. That was neat. (There were only 4 of us, lol.)

I'm having a bully day!  
GRADUATION IS IN SIGHT.


I'm thinking of having Hooly hold some ice cream.


I messed around with designs for [info]nove_arghpoots's PLANET THING :O I have fun coming up with random characters :D And this? Very random. Meet Venus. It's possible she's blind in her "normal" eyes.


Meet Venus's regular clap-trap violin, Callisto! They communicate via bluetooth. I'm gonna make this a finished picture.

Couple more things )

What's going on here?  

It's nice to know I can still draw in the style I came up with a year ago.
I want to do more stuff in this style. Maybe Landaluf.

Also, hey, look, flat-colored Zanoi for the portfolio layout.

yearghhh ah stab yew with mah bird stick  

I'll be honest, I love how this turned out. Also how my super-fixed-up Tigress turned out (I'll show you when it's finished).


Also for portfolio.

Namely, my new portfolio design. )

this 'n' that  
You know what sucks?

When you work on the same thing day after day, only for it not to seem to be moving any nearer towards completion.

That sucks.

Case in point: Snaga's commission, and my portfolio stuff. Portfolio moreso. Sorry, Snaga, so sorry.

Two things you could help me with, and I'll love you forever:

(1) Scrolling content areas in Flash (that resemble iframes but, of course, aren't)
(2) Pop-up image code where the background dims to dark grey, as is on Smash Bros. DOJO!! and Concept Art.org

Those would help me a whole lot.

Thank you.


In other news, I recently realized that both my computer monitors (the Powerbook and the Compaq desktop) are ass. I always knew this about my Powerbook and am not sure how to fix it (as macs naturally wash colors the hell out) since I already calibrated it so much, but my PC shouldn't be as bad as it is. I think the blue theme might be throwing everything off, too. But I don't want everything to be 50% grey soooo... hmm.

Yet another thing for Portfolio. Will probably end up looking very different in the end.

lol watch me salvage my sanity by integrating anything with everything.

Right now I'm catching up on portfolio and totally not playing Brawl for 5 hours per day average.

Yet the following has nothing to do with Portfolio. (Mostly.)



I'm having troubles deciding on colors for this. Namely Yu's jacket. I thought it'd be green originally (his favorite color, most of what he wears is green), but then I tried purple 'cause I thought green wouldn't work. Hmm. The BG is going to be this cloudy snowy sort of thing that fades up in the corner. (I did lighten the flat base a little on the second one.) For the jacket, I'm also thinking grey, spring green, and sky blue could work, but blue is too much blue and grey is for my other pic.


My other pic.

Oh yeah, Yu has a mole now. Because none of my characters have moles...until now. Gotta go back and fix a few pictures/pages.

Logo crap )


Also, if you hadn't noticed, I posted a big fat animation post a while back that goes commentless still. I find that odd, 'cause we were on a good commenting streak. But don't worry, I still love you.

EDIT:
<--??? zomg can't decide.

All caught up on being behind.  

The animation I made in class. Click to watch!



All about it )

For you guys whose web I was considering, the thumbnails I made. )

Also, these things:


Yet another reptilian mascot for one of my portfolio projects that somehow turned out better than Dil, in less time. My better work seems to come with less time lately.


No idea what this is.

I didn't enter that contest I mentioned a while back for Gryphon Webzine. Nooo time. Maybe again later.

Fun fact: I did enter the Student Addys. Despite last year, when our college won eight (or was it six?), this time only one of us won. It was the guy I used to envy for some reason, too, back when I started college and knew nothing about anything, lol. All the seniors and juniors and some sophomores entered some really impressive stuff this time, so we're baffled. I didn't go to the awards myself (after hearing about them yesterday I kind of regret it), but I hear it was 50/50...really great, impassioned work, with stuff that's really pointless or low execution.

Evidently, on top of concept, our school pushes actual use in the working world. I like having that kind of mindset since most people in visual communications have nooo idea what to do once they're out there and graduated. I still kind of wish I had at least one impractical but beautiful picture in my portfolio, though. Or at least a piece of concept art in and of itself--not attached to anything else like a package. Evidently all the great illustrators at the Addys had no concept but great skills in illustrating. That kind of work feels empty to me...

I don't feel bad about not winning, but I do feel bad I didn't go Tuesday because you can't view the winners' work anywhere else. Not fair! If I won, I'd like it displayed on a website or something...even in a 200x200 thumbnail size.

There was a big debate amongst us on the balance of practicality and creativity... We'll be forging our paths!


Other cool things:

In other news, LF updated. Go Leap Day updates!

Row! Row!  
I don't like reneging on offers, but I won't be able to do anyone's website for my portfolio, since

(1) my own website will be a web design for it (lol, I forgot)

(2) it's not serious/corporate enough. (This is actually why I was waiting for my teacher to email me back, but his email was down all weekend. Corporate websites, for the sake of this course, are more likely to be seen be art directors and have them consider what I can do for them. And I can do that, perhaps even easier.)

Since I don't like reneging, I will help both Nove and Klobber with your sites...after graduation. @_@ Because I'm still v. interested in helping both of you. As for Izzy, I think I can give you the couple of ideas I came up with yesterday and steer you in the right direction.

Yay!

As for now, however, I have to come up with websites based on my fake kids' 100% fruit drink, CHAMELEON, and redo some Flash MAYBE AUGH.

Full of it!  


Of course we know Hot Topic is full of it.

Random: I know the tag cloud to the right says FANART is the thing I do most here, but really most of it was giftart for webcomics (which I consider series enough). I should get my tags straight. People might come here looking for HARRER POTTY or Megaman X or something.

Supercool free web design Super Effort offer, never forget. (Actually, I think I have my offer already. Concepting is to be done!...Also, inquiring into its legitimacy!)

attn: web design  

Who wants a website designed for you?

I'll do it for free, since I need a portfolio piece done. Email me plz :O

That means I'll make it as nice-looking as I physically can without asking you for money, 'cause I need at least one web project in my portfolio.

Note 1: I may integrate some simple Flash, since I also need some Flash in my portfolio.
Note 2: I need to start the thumbnails before Tuesday, and will probably have it 90% done in two weeks. (I still need to catch up on my other portfolio stuff, but that's for the end of the semester.)

EDIT: Note 3: I may do two websites, since I have two projects of the same nature in a row.
BUT I might not, because I do want one purely-animation Flash in my portfolio, and although all my animations will take a long time to refine, it'd be worth my while.

Mil Page 02

I am pretty excited about Mil's new page. I should be excited every once in a while!

Also, I in-betweened 10 of my storyboards today. That's my other big accomplishment! Now only 25 left. This should have been done two weeks ago... but I'm not taking animation for credit, so no phail for me! :D
