Happy New Year

Alright, so these are my first post for 2008 and sketches lol... school girl sketches =) ( just working out some sketches for this pepper project by IF studio, the details can be found here > http://artgerm.deviantart.com/ ).

I think my photoshop is messed up because ...when i tried adjusting the contrast and brightness ... it wouldn't adjust exactly. example... suppose i adjust the contrast for these pictures at full 100% ... it would change to around 50% of the current contrast ... like as if its some default thing. i Dunno... Anyone got a solution to why i am having this problem ?

Ohh and i reformatted my computer to start fresh for this new year. i joke ... actually my computer tends to give some problems every year at around the time frame lol but good thing is that i have free hard drive space again but that shouldn't really bother me since i got a 1 Terabyte ! external hard drive during boxing day lol and a 2 gb usb key and a wifi usb thing for my DS so i can play my Nintendo DS online XD ( the wifi usb was like $10 , can't go wrong with that ). Also i started playing some mmo's like WoW and Asda Story lol just for this week because i know i wont get time to play when school starts again lol and i watched couple of new anime / drama/ movies such as Macross frontier, Gundam 00, maple story ( yeah its based on the game maple story lol but its cool! ...) Sex is Zero, She's on duty ( Korean movies ), ughh ... thats all i can remember but i am sure i watched a lot more and i can't wait to see Speed racer the movie !! .Anyways peace and all the best for everyone in 2008. God Bless.

Well here are my last weeks life drawings and recent stuff like the colored fighter which is called Ray because thats what Darry, Muz and other 2nd yr ppl said looked like lol. This Character is Darry's, i just just colored his line art. Hope ya dig lol. Also a creature concept sketch, thought it be cool if it was all rocky, land type creature with a castle or so attached on its back and do you see the tiny kid in that picture.... the kid is actually offering a apple to the creature haha ! i guess the whole thing with the tiny kid offering a apple to that big giant creates some kind of atmosphere lol. Anyways Happy Christmas !

Darry's Character and my colors

Land creature concept with a kid offering a apple to it lol

never knew i could capture so much in 2mins...

This picture screams out " forgive me master!" .... i dunno

This one made me lol... just look at the poses

All these gestures done in red.. seem like they are telling a story or maybe its just me.

still life study: wacom mouse

okay last week i did a whole bunch of life drawings except for two days bc of dota and sleep haha.. Friday was fun because me and few others just played dota the entire day and skipped the 2 -5 pm life drawing session. Didn't bother me lol ... since i already did full 6 hr life previous days. Anyways..i wont be able to post those life drawings becasue i haven't taken any pictures of them BUT ! i did a still life painting study of my wacom mouse with a few details missing like a button on the right and the label that says wacom which wasn't the point of this study. Details = leave for last.. So first i started with a sketch , then blocking in shapes with a little bit of blend and final stage i just rendered. I tried my best .. c+c welcome.

stage1: sketch

stage2: blocking in shapes and plane changes

stage 3: render

Animation 1st semester is done

Well lets see after this semester i learned i still got a long way to go and need to improve on my character design drastically, lol i got like 60% on these 3 character model sheets. But on other subjects i been up there and doing good, life drawing is probably my strongest right now. So during this break i said to myself that i would draw and draw to make improvements in my character design and practice digital painting.

I posted character designs ( final assignment), layout assignments which i found okay enough to post , cafe sketches ( i improved a lot in cafe sketching in my opinion in comparison to my very first / earlier cafe sketches), random/ concept sketches, still life painting study of my apple juice box because i love apple lol and finally life drawings, skele studies and compiled some of my life drawings which i also did during the first semester, i don't really know how much improvements i made here but i do know my bones a lot better than i did before.

30 secs skele gesture

Layout assignments.. i didnt how to get rid of the bright light lol otherwise i would have posted my final assignment with the underwater scene and Galleon ship.

Still life painting study

me and my frens had a good laugh at the bottom cafe sketch picture. well it was observational drawing right and i couldn't help myself but draw it

One of my concepts, the top one with the scene of flying ships and stuff, those big ship designs i based it on tea cups lol.

And the random sketches of a robot design, kinda based it on the human skeleton, random picture with girl holding the stick or w.e and the bottom one was from the Japanese movie

Azumi.
