Phew! Semester 1 is over!

Semester 1 of my HNC is finally over. It felt like it took such long time, especially after the last week or so. I've had so many technical difficulties that I've started to hate the college computers with a passion... Also the printers. They always want to break when I need to use them, or so it seems. I lost most of my work within the last few days we had left to work on it, but managed to pull out something to show.

Tomorrow I get to find out if I've passed and if I have made the cut for the 2nd semester. I really hope I have, because I really tried my best this time. I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses but... It's been a really tough year. Losing my gran made me think a lot about what I've been doing, how I am as a person and what I need to change about me. It took me such a long time to think it through and to be honest, I think I still am. I know I sure as Hell cry about it still. Thats for another time I suppose, though.

I haven't been drawing much on the computer, but I have a few old doodles I can throw at you all. Hope you're keeping well!
Time to find out if I'm in the clear. Tomorrow will be the make or break of it! Good night guys.

Progress report!

I trust you all had a great Halloween? I know I did. The Wrath of the Spider Queen FINALLY aired here after a buhmillion years of waiting, needless to say I was not disappointed! It was fantastic. A great episode.
I've handed in my Work book for my NQ Digital Design class today, got the green light for heading in the right direction which is a relief. Major weight off my shoulders, and it means I can start on my final products for Digital imaging and my other 8 images I need to do. The sooner I get this done, the longer I'll have to work on my animation that's due sometime in January. All is well on that front, at least for a little while hehe.

And now because there isn't much else in the ways of updates, I shall spam you with random digital doodles. First up is some fan art I've done for Josh Lieberman of Manny & Khan. I gotta say I loved doing this one, the characters are a real treat to draw! Even though I have a strange feeling they're out of character... Oh well, hope he likes it.

Next up is just a 10 second doodle of a bunny. Randomly 'hopped' out of my head, hehe.

Some good ol' Storm Hawks fanart, even though I haven't seen it in so long I still love drawing the style. This is a little Merb character I designed a while back, his name is Bird Flu!

Random quickie of a bumble bee.

And now we're on to adding to the ever growing pile of Underfist drawings I have done. Trust me there are a LOT more than the ones I am uploading here, it's just all the others are in my sketchbooks and I don't have a scanner... So enjoy the sketches!

I haven't seen any fanart of Perkins floating around. He was so awesome in that special, I felt he needed some love.

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!

And yet again.

Because of my idiotic nature I have fallen prey to being used and tossed aside. Again. I really do hate it. I wish I could just turn into some sort of hulk-like creature and crush people, but I suppose I'll have to leave that to my mind and my doodles hm?

But yeah, picture time. 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!

Quick post.

Okay so my dad stole my laptop for the next few days. I suppose this is a good thing because I really need to take a doodle break...I have a feeling I've injured my arm badly again because as I type this it is in so much freaking pain it's unbelievable...Anyway I doodled up this little sketch of an Irken character for a role play I've gotten back into. Her name is Salif, she is still in the works but this is a rough concept of her. Please enjoy!
