Job hunts.

Still on the look out for a job, jeez it's been months and all I've found is places pretending to have spaces for part time slots and fully available manager positions. Ones that I can't fill due to my college commitment. However, today I feel pretty good about it. I've handed out a few CVs and I'm off out to hunt again tomorrow... Jeez it's similar to a Safari out here! Oh well, I'll cover all the back streets to see if I can track down a few more positions that may be willing to give me a job...

As it stands we've officially started dabbling in Flash at college, as you can tell in my previous post I'm still a bit of a newbie. We've also been given full freedom on our final assignment which means I can let my mind run rampant around blank canvas with character and story ideas. My only issue is that I might just get really carried away and add far too much detail to it all... Oh well, I can practice both at home and at college so hopefully I can make it work! In any case I'll show you a few concepts I've got in the works as well as some other concepts for an entirely different idea I've had... Not for college in any way, more for my own personal happiness.
In any case, here's the school stuff!

Starting off with the villains of course. The Rat pack!

The big boss Peter the Polar bear.

Chuck the business chicken. He's an accountant!
My very own "Drama Llama" Liam Llama. Poor nervous bloke.
Fizz the hip Fox cub. The cool kid who rarely speaks!
The Lemming twins. One emotionally unstable, one a complete adrenalin junkie. Go figure!

Now these concepts are for my own little mini series I may or may not do. Depends if I get around to it or not... Or whether I find a better story. I won't reveal it of course but I'll show you some character developments and notes I've done so far. [Not many!]

What kind of child doesn't have their own stupid dog-like creature in a series like this? A very sad one I guess...? I have no idea.

Some Nite Owl fanart I did for a friend over on Art Grounds... A silly little piece, no?

A gift for another friend over at Deviant Art in gratitude at being such a sport and helping me find a copy of Maxwell Atom's The Underfist! cartoon. I really couldn't wait to see it. And even though I'm yet to see the full thing, I must say... It was bloody fantastic! Cutos to Mr. Atoms for bringing out such quality viewing over and over!
That's all for now folks! Hope the images don't lag you all to death too much!

Some doodles!

Just thought I'd pop over here and upload a few sketches I've done. Nothing finished, just doodles with colour thrown here and there!

Last weekend I went out with my friends for a good ol' movie day. Although we really never got around to actually watching anything because we were too busy talking, laughing, hitting and hugging each other. We also got ourselves lost late at night trying to chum one another home! It was great fun, I'm really gonna miss them so badly.... But that doesn't mean I can't go and visit them all on Wednesdays mwehehehe. We also decided that we should all hang out more at weekends and t never finalize my leavingness with a traditional shirt signing. I'm rather thankful of that actually, it'd make me get all weepy and I hate being like that!

We also began planning what's gonna happen for my birthday. So far its just going to be a two day movie fest with snacks and video game playing. Sounds like a perfect party to me! As long as they come over and hang out with the lonely sod which is me. Can't wait!

Anyway, I must be off. Gotta keep cleaning up the house, new carpets are being fitted tomorrow.

Enjoy the sketches and hope you're all keeping well!

Weeeee!

Second day at college today and I gotta say I'm having a blast! Lovin' the classes even if I'm still too shy to barely speak. Gotta say I'm so happy I got in. The classes are a lot more art-involved and thus more interesting to a doodler like me. So far I've had a Sound class, Photography class, Life drawing class...And on Thursday it'll be my first Lighting class and animation class! I can hardly contain myself with excitement.

As for tomorrow, seeing as I have a day off I'm planning to go on the hunt for jobs before meeting up with a few friends during their lunch break so I can say a proper good bye. Ohhh which reminds me, I popped in today after class time and said good bye to the majority of the teachers I had at Boroughmuir before signing a leavers forum...

Some how through all of that I also got invited back to go to the Sixth year prom, even if I've left...Which should be rather lovely to go along to, see old friends and stuff. But that's not for a long time yet!

Doodled something up for you all as well, even if it was rather quick. Please enjoy!

Change of luck?

I'm certainly a lucky sod this month! After being told on Wednesday that I'd most likely never get into the Computer Design course I applied for, I was sure I had no alternative but to wait until this time next year.

At least that's what I thought.... However, on Friday after school as I was hanging around with a pal I got a call on my mobile. As it turned out someone had called in saying they wanted to drop out of the course, thus meaning I could take their place! Huzzah! So I'm starting up tomorrow, and let me tell you, I'm a nervous wreck! But hey, it's what I wanted right?

I'm gonna be geeking it up in that class, at least on the days we have animation. I hope I don't freeze up like I used to in the social rings. Jeez that sucks. I've also gotten a little money to spend on some new stuff that I'm in desperate need of, such as coats and shirts n'all... I also managed to order myself a new messenger bag, official 24 merchandise too. My God I'm such a geek, but I do love being one it has to be said.

But I haven't just been watching 24, oh no. Been watching KND as usual, as well as catching myself some Pepper Ann episodes. Jeez I really miss that show. I used to watch it all the time when I was small. Gwah, must draw myself some fan art for that show! But for now this will have to suit you all until next time!

Toodle pip!

Interviews.

Well I just had an interview at Stevenson college for my animation course option. As it stands I don't think I will get a spot, not because of my work but because of a faulty computer. There's supposed to be one more computer in the room but apparently the tech people aren't fixing it or whatever. So I'm probably not going to get a place which sucks because it means I have to stay at Boroughmuir.

However, I do have a reserved spot in case someone wants to drop out of the class, so if anyone does I'll be able to get in. They think I'm very young for doing it though, because a few more highers will improve my chances at art colleges... Oh well.

They said if I had applied a little earlier they would have given me a spot, but I do have other options. I can either start college in January instead and have another interview in November/December, or wait another year.

They'll give me a call later on with what's happening, but I must say it doesn't look like I'll be going this year. Sucks to be me.

Return to school...

Okay so today was my first day back, and let me tell you it's only heightened my hatred for that place. Boroughmuir truly is the armpit of education. How to start the problems, apart from the numerous teacher issues....

What they have been calling a "dress code" has now turned into a full blown uniform as I thought it would, but they still insist on it being a dress code rather than a uniform. Come on people, there's no need to dance around the issue. We KNOW it's a uniform, please don't patronise us. I also love how it's their number one concern, that and their grade percentages. It's sickening! An utter disgrace!

But that brings me to a fairly positive point. I have applied to Stevenson College to start an animation and graphic design course. If I get a place there, it means I won't ever have to return to that place and I'll be ever closer to my dream.

However, I am also still awaiting news of my application to GASP!, but I do know if I don't get contacted by this coming Tuesday I know I haven't secured myself an interview. Fingers crossed eh?

I figure I should spam post some art for you guys, I'm feeling generous and I don't think I'll be able to post as often as I'd like in the coming term. So enjoy what I am offering you this evening!

Now I must warn you this is quite a post art wise, I’m clearing out my folder so there’s a LOT of unfinished stuff for ya!
