does what you can't.

Another 1

I got an interview with MD70 in NYC as well. :) I really love their work. I hope they like me. I really do...

IP Update! I've got a great idea for final format presentation :D Hooray! Endi showed me an amazing artist who's presentation is really amazing.

This format would be perfect for presenting my project. I still need to contact Hiromi for paper prices. :/

D face all Day

:D

Roanne Adams accepted me as an intern!

Also, Grooveshark wants to interview me next week!

Happiness.

Test Print

I finished my second test print. I have a lot of corrections to make. Mostly, areas are too dark. There is a weird pink... tint going on in my print. I'm not sure if its the plot printer or my file...

In other news.

I ordered an otamatone!! :D

FINALLY

Finally in 300dpi, my finished composition. :) Time for another test print

Update

So, for those of you who don't know. My original version of my composition that I completed was... completed at 72dpi. Not adequate for printing at all! So, I have been redoing the composition at a higher resolution, but it has and is taking longer than expected. My original textures are not large enough for the higher resolution so I've been having to dig and make do with other textures.

I hope to be done in one more sitting at the Duderstadt.

Double Crossy Fingies

I got an interview for an internship in NYC! I NEED to do well and make a great impression. :| I'm nervous. I want it so bad.

SOOOOOO BADDDDDUH! :p

I'm careless

This composition has progressed a lot since my last post. I think its almost done. I've left the breaking through the river area blank because I can't seem to do something that I'm happy with. Tomorrow I want to test print this composition on the plotter printers, for size and resolution test. Hopefully, it'll turn out perfect and I won't have to make too many changes... but I doubt it.

I also have no idea where my student show piece is. Floating around the art school? Who knows.

Here it is, be gentle. I've spent a long time on it. Please, click for the larger image.

Well, it's Sunday

I have pretty much finished the vector illustration and have started integrating textures. I think there is more depth now with the addition of texture and slight color. The image is a work in progress. I hope to finish soon.

I have also started re-working the horizontal piece.

Tonight's Work

*Click for larger view!!

So, I'm really happy so far. I've been enjoying working on the irrational stage. I plan to add more detail and equal refinement to the other stages. Then, hopefully, this vertical piece will be complete. I see it being done by Sunday. :/

I'm playing around with a hand cranked "conveyor belt" to show this vertical composition. I like the idea of having to work by cranking the belt to view the piece (working through the process). AND I love the idea of printing on a more organic feeling paper than mylar but still keeping a translucent quality.

For the horizontal composition, I am thinking of making a surprising shift. :)

ANYWAYS, work work work... think think think. repeat.

Slight Progress

I had a very crazy winter break. My father came home after 3 years of family absence. So, a little uncomfortable but overall break was nice.

Here is what I've completed since last time. I am going to try and finish illustrating this composition, refine lines, and then bring it into photoshop for some raster image layering. Sorry again for that horizontal line, this is a screen shot.

I'm also continuing the horizontal composition.

I'm running into a problem with vertical format. I really love the amount of detail in the linework, but if it is hanging from say the ceiling, a lot of that will be lost because people won't be able to see that high (particularly the first illustration). That's a problem...

I am going to have to figure out final format technicalities. :/
Also, I'm starting to consider the idea of the horizontal composition being a "on medication and doing therapy" timeline. Maybe, for a little compare and contrast action?!

Crosses Fingers

I applied for some grown up jobs over the weekend...
= is hopeful

Also, check out my awesome Christmas present :)
