Life in IT: The Call Back

So two or three hours later I get called back to the same room for the same non-problem...

Life in IT

I doodled this cartoon at work (based on true events of course). What I should be doing is homework and not in my office watching Hulu while scribbling on my computer. I've been wanting to upload some other stuff, but it's such a pain to scan now with the setup I got...

I'm so unmotivated lately...

This was the first attempt at the carton with a mouse on MS paint.
I actually really like it.


Probably as good as I'll ever hope to be. :(
Haha.

The Abstract of the Final College Semester

Earlier today I registered for classes for the Spring '10 semester. These three classes are the only things between me and my college degree. I can always add/drop later but as of right now, this is the 16-week battle plan. And then? Well--we'll address that when we get to it.

ANYWAYS! The classes of my choice are as follows (along with my abstract expressionistic interpretations of said classes...)

Sculpting Life Forms

Pictorial Background

Advanced Digital Illustration

Potential adds: Character Animation, Independent Studies in Life Drawing, Independent Studies in Animal Drawing, Internship.

Boarder's Block

So... I have a story board for Tarzan due Wednesday, and I don't know what the hell I am doing! Then I have two more Tarzan boards the following week...

The assignment: Tarzan and Terk meet Tantor for the first time and I have to make three boards--one comedic, one dramatic, and one scary.

On Wednesday we have to "pitch" one of our boards to the class--which I am fine with. I think I'll do the dramatic one, and I know more or less how I want to do it but I'm having such a hard time putting it to paper...

In other news, I am sick. I didn't go school nor will I probably go to work tomorrow, so that gives me extra time to get this board done.


Maybe the Dayquil is getting to me...

Water Color Skecthing

So I picked up a water color kit for my on-the-go coloring needs (specifically for my little Elephant Sketchbook). And I am actually having TONS of fun with it. I'm not very good, but it is really nice to just do something in color--something as relaxing as cafe sketching, where the drawings are just quick inconsequential studies.Today, however, was some of the most stressful cafe sketching I have ever experienced. Brandon decided to take the life drawing class to PetsMart since there wasn't a model for us. He kept shuffling us around so we didn't over crowd any one area--them was the rules, I guess.

That class is so random.

A Whole lot of Nothing

The furlough week has been a VERY unproductive week.
Why did I let this happen?
I am, however, very well rested, so this time I'm jumping back into action!
(I don't have no choice--I'm going to graduate damnit!)

This drawing of Remi has NOTHING to do with my film--it's just me wasting time...

David's work is about to be sold--this good news seeing as I get a cut for helping him (although technically he was helping me).

They want more lightning and more "wicked" fire. Whatever that means....

Snake Vs Shark

Earlier today I took a rather nice mid-day nap with yet another odd ball dream. I usually don't remember them as often as I have been doing in the recent days--I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with these drawings. Also I promise they wont all be quick sketch doodles, I'll try to take my time next time a cool dream comes up!
So I was on my way to a museum or something. And I run into a bunch of old friends from the high school band that I haven't seen in a while and among them (probably by coincidence because she's not really affiliated with them) was none other than one of my best buddies, Amber Wallen. Apparently she was on a first-date with a rather tall, fit, good looking guy but she looked very unhappy that I was there. My guess was because she knew I would do something to embarrass her if I ever found myself in that kind of situation (which I would).So it was no surprise to me that they hurried off hand in hand to avoid me at all costs. That's when I had noticed her date was actually wearing a lady's blouse of some kind that showed off his back. It made me wonder if she didn't want me to talk to her because she knew I wouldn't ever let her forget about a date she had with a bogirl. Well, I made it into the museum--which I guess was actually an aquarium of some kind. The first thing I saw was the shark and anaconda tank, which was actually the same tank. All of a sudden the biggest anaconda starts fighting with the shark. It was EPIC. My gut reaction: I pull out my cell phone to capture it on camera because I think to myself that The Bui, another one of my best buddies, just HAS to see this! Then the bloody tank gets flushed out in order to put a stop to the violence and have the marine biologist take a look at the damage. In just the room over a very angry marine biologist was examining the shark like if it was a machine of some kind (even though is was a real shark) and I could hear him muttering to himself: "That stupid snake, he's really done it this time! This is the last straw. We can finally get rid of that fucking thing. I don't think [the shark] is going to make it..." The shark looked like it was made of wood on the inside.
