Only a doodle.

So I have been trying to catch up with sketching since I have't done much recently. Unfortunatly it seems all this lazeing around has really gotten to me. The only somewhat decent sketch I could come up with was this doodle I made in my sketchbook. Unfortunatly the scanner is down again so I had to use my webcam to get it onto the computer...and my photoshop skills didn't help it much.

Well, hopefully with my new freed up schedule I can hopefully brush up on my skills and get to working again.

Hey Sam, I posted!

SO work is finished and computer built, all that is left now is to get working!

Seasonal Job

Its been a while since I posted so I wanted to just show that I am still alive and kicking. I check both my email and this blog almost everyday even though I have nothing to post. I managed to get a small seasonal job to hold me over till I get my license and it took me a while to get used to working once again(you know, body fatigue, sleep deprivation, and overall a zombie state of mind) but I seem to be waking up and with D day coming soon, (getting my drivers license) I need to have my resume and web page all updated so I can really start on my job search.

Hopefully I'll have some new stuff to post soon.

Sort of...

I managed to find a job at a publishing company, which means I am not going to be having as much time on my hands as I have been. So I have decided to post up my new website even though I am not entirely sure of the new concept. I will try fixing it up more once it has been updated. My main goal is to make a site that is easier to update then the one I have now. I don't like having to redo my site in photoshop, then transfer it to dreamweaver whenever I want to update. So hopefully I can make something a bit more update friendly this time around.

More concepts

So I spent this morning making a few more web page concepts based on the lighthouse silhouette. I think I am going to try and come up with a few more concepts not based on that piece just to see what I can come up with.

Web Site

Its been a while since I posted, but I really haven't had much to put up. I have been experimenting a lot with painting and have to say I still need some practice, but overall I am happy with how much I am learning and how each different piece seems to get better and better.

I have also been trying to come up with some new concepts for my web page. It's been really hard with no one to ask opinions from and to bounce ideas off of, but I guess that's just what happens when you leave that art school environment. I have mostly decided to go with the lighthouse theme, it's just setting up the page the way I want and coming up with a look for it. So you might be seeing a few posts of my ideas for that coming up a lot as I brainstorm over it.

Bubbleing Fish

My big hard drive was fixed after it stopped working, that's a relief. So now I can still continue with my lighthouse piece.

I have been watching a lot of tutorials on flash but I can't seem to find any beginners ones on animation, or at least on the things I can't seem to figure out. A lot of the basic beginners tutorials out there have to be payed for. So I have been doing a lot of self teaching and a whole lot of scratching my head in frustration. That fish scene might take longer then I thought it would unless I can figure out how to merge my separate animated images into one scene. If it comes down to it I will just have to animate everything in the one file....but that will be annoying if I want to do any resizing or moving in the final picture. I know it can be done, I have done it before in my flash class...but I seem to have forgotten.

Ahh well, here is a simple looping animation of the fish bubbler.
