So, my illustrated Advertising final. Designed a mascot for the Adventure Science Center (<3), since it came off as a place that needed one.



"There’s a whole, wide galaxy out there that you didn’t know about. It’s called the Milky Way, and the Adventure Science Center is bringing it closer to you with the Sudekum Planetarium in summer of 2008. Falling stars, humongous planets, and mesmerizing nebulae will never seem closer, so keep your eyes to the sky and get ready to explore.
And you thought this was just boring science.
Come explore the Adventure Science Center with your parents today!"



( the rest -[2]- )

The head honchos at the center liked this a lot. I'm glad. (We also reminisced about the old things at the center...fun times.)

I won the class Big Brain Award for this (it's a miniature pose mannequin that the "winner" of each project can alter in any way they like, which had been made into the Daddy Award by its previous winner, because the design awards are called Addys, our teacher's name is Dale Addy, and his email is "Daddy"...yes XD), which made me very happy, because I worked hard (but didn't crush my soul for once) on this, and I wanted to win it. e__e` My concept has many expansion possibilities, yay! (The award's slightly different from what Sarah H. had done to it; she'd redone the stand so it looked like a microphone stand sort of)
What made me happiest is that my teacher said they were ready to go to press tomorrow... which is funny, 'cause I found a typo in one of them when I got home (since fixed). But that was like...yay!

That day the class also snatched a ton of source books from him, because he has tons apparently. I can't wait until I can afford to get into a source book. (The only "anime" style thing I saw in one of the source books looked awful, though... "adn it had sp33ch bubbles tht were litrly typed liek this" and I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not, holy crap how could they afford it, not even quality---) They're inspiring to look through. I didn't get any of the cool photography ones though.

I wanted to post my other two Advertising projects that I haven't, but there's stuff I should fix/redo first. For example, someone thought this soybean pod looked like a green banana. A BANANA? I can understand peas and stuff, but... Read the copy. (Yes, I haven't posted the ones with copy yet. I'll do that after the fixing.) Of course, my copy could use some rearranging and strength, too.

Anyway, later on I'm going to post my concepts for other mascots here.

Does anyone know how to export GIFs out of Flash 8 without having the animation look like pure ass?
I have not yet found out how.

Oh yes, have a picture.


This is something for Advertising.
Fruit and Soy. 2GETHER 4EVER

I should mention that I finally fixed something bugging me about my Flash portfolio site, and it finally looks perfectly right, although now it's a bit out of date after a year of being lazy. When I redesign Ai this will look better in relation to it (they won't be the same but they will look related). Oh crap, I just noticed a small trouble I didn't see on the mac. Crap. Anyway, looks better now. Also took the links off of it, since that was pointless, and I couldn't fit all my favorite sites anyway.

Some things to show I'm still live.

For a doodletrade for jennadelle, to be finished sometime soon when it's not 3 AM.


And this and this.
Some quick crap for yet another comic concept, YES ANOTHER ONE. You know why I don't want to handle the others while I'm redoing Millennium, too? Worldbuilding! I make up whole new worlds for all these concepts, comics and novels, and it's too much! But this new one, it takes place on Earth. There's just character focus, new locations, and situation building! That's all! Ah, so much better!
Anyway, I'm not saying more about it. Posting sketches, yes, but not saying. I really like what I've come up with, though. (Isn't that always the case?)

My colored Inverloch contest entry made it to be featured on the site, yay! My SoG entry was also strongly considered. I'm glad. I had fun with those. And now I withdraw from contests for the next oh, year... unless I spontaneously join something at ConceptArt, and I need to.

Still need to do the failed-comics post thing.
