STARTING NEW WEBSITE!

so, just about every course I have wants me to make me a productionblog. And this blog was already getting a wee bit messy.

So I'm currently trying to buy projectsofdoom.com (which was a plan I had to begin with).

One.com however, isn't making it easy for me. But a friend of mine (Simen) have been using their services for a while, and they seem mostly okey.

It'll give me the oppertunity to make a bit more structured system for the many blogs, and also give me a future base for a portfolio, and for the webcomic I still haven't given up on.

Happy surfing

Haven't used this much colour sence kindergarden, I think.

S.ROSE.VOL2!

OHMYGOOOOOOOOOOD!
(this is my impersitanion of Troll 2 with good acting, but you can't tell)

must. have. the. AWESOME!

a while ago I rambled about not finding my favorite comicbook. That comicbook is Vol.1. This is Vol.2 and I WANTS IT!

To be fair, The entire Vol.2 (as far as I know) is published online for free. Which is awesome. I've been following it's process with big googly fanboy-eyes ever sence it started (by lucky coinkidink, I frequented his website in that timeperiod. My teacher had the class find art by people we admired).

But sometimes you need the awesome in your lap when you want to read some printed format. Aaron Alexovich is a great artist, whom with exeptional storytelling and a keen eye for details, have captured my eyeballs. (Mostly because my heart have already been captured by a certain socioligy student :3). The dude did conceptart and other stuff for Invader Zim, and his personal stuff is, in my opinion, even more awesome!

If you haven't read the Serenity Rose comics, I highly recomend you begin right now. Preferably by buying Vol.1 after reading the first part of it for free at his website; http://www.heartshapedskull.com/(All art is used under the "I'm-promoting-your-stuff-please-dont-sue" agreement. Aaron Alexovich; if you don't want me to use you art in my psychotic fan-boy rant, just tell me :) )

"bring along examples of your character work to the practicalsessions"... "please upload your work onto a BLOG, vimeo, youtube or similar"....

now where the hell have I put these things?



damn youtube cuts this one about a second at the end
Can't find anything else...

...uhmm, does this one qualify for character animation? one of my first animations with a rig :P


my gods, it's horrible -_-' :P

FYI, stars are a bitch to draw.

Think I'll start with the colour from here. Dunno really what kind of coulours I'll use for the dragon... The chinese horoscope-thingie says my lucky colours are black (yeah, I know, but it says so) gold (kickass), and green (wtf?). With the background I've chosen, and intend to keep, I can't make a black dragon. green is meh, but I'll use gold for the eyes.

I might have to revisit the highlights on the head, right now the wing drags much attention away from it.

Also, it turned quite humanoid at some point... but me likes it!

I desperatly need to update here. Not only to work against the habit of not posting, but because I want to. Now I'm sick, so small updates are better.

"Draw a coloured 2D image representing your European star sign or Chinese year sign"


Of course, I'm not done yet, but you get the picture. Needs to be done by friday.

Oh, and I'm in England now.
