FISTO!!

Security has been a real pain in the ass lately, kicking us out of the labs and such.  I didn't pay 7000$ for this shit.

The only problem is sometimes, in an art school, our sense of rebelling can get a little mixed up.

It begins anew!

So, after a lot of baby tears, I finally restarted my 5 week long oblique projection of room A133.

To my satisfaction it's turning out a lot better now that its correctly scaled.  It's also going a lot quicker than expected.

To my left is my honey, also satisfied.

Orange juice is awesome.

Stitch in time saves nine

I. Fucked. Up.

A 7 week long project I crammed into 5 weeks, complete with well over twice the amount of content was all done wrong.  All due to a small mistake, a mistake in the foundations.

It's rather difficult to explain, and its not even a big thing, its just a small thing that applies to every item created in the illustrator file.  It's also a mistake that can't be rectified very easily because its to hard to selectively pick out all the mistakes within the whole, its more efficient to just redo it.

Hours, gone, like I just slacked forever.

Moron, maybe next time I'll learn not to be as stupid as a rock.

ODST helmet time

The beginnings of halo odst helmet making madness.  It'd better be good!!

Working with sculptamold and bondo.

First run through of the tattoo sleeve.  I didn't add the lizard in yet because I wanted to get the tapestry done first.  The should to the supinator is supposed to be reminiscent of the Filipino flag while the rest is a story I'll explain once its closer to a final version.

Designing these are fun.

Vision

So i was trying to sleep last night when I saw an 8 foot tall man pass the door frame.  When i want to explore i saw the tip of a pair of slippers and immediately thought it was his feet.

Played Scribblenauts until 1 am.

Tribal

Design has always been one of my favorite things to do.  It encompasses the creative spirit and process as well as the technical know how to make something worth looking at.

My Cousin has asked me to design a tattoo for him, so naturally I'm very excited to do this, I've just been hella busy so its been tough to keep it up during these demanding weeks.

Tonight though I've cleared some time and am finally able to really sit down and iron out some details and overall form.  Since it's a sleeve I'm going to have to invent the patterning from the elbow down, so I'm going to have to do more research.

He wants a tribal looking tattoo sleeve that has a heavy Filipino influence to it, on top of the pattern sits a lizard.  I'm going to try to implement the texturing we learned in Katherine's class to make a convincing lizard while making the sleeve itself more graphic to juxtapose the images for more impact.  I want to make a sick cuff to the sleeve too, not just this 'ends out of the no where' BS.  Its gotta start sick and end sick.

I'll post pictures afterwards.
