Eat This!

Oily Oily Oixen Free

Worked on the oil painting a bit more. It was nice to just chill outback and listen to music. But it sucks that we have a laser sun in Las Vegas...Looking back, I am not really digging that wall. I couldn't really get the right hue. I will have to keep trying because there is more that I want to do to this one contrast-wise. I learned a lot about mixing colors and I am starting to really see the pros and cons of using a paint that takes so long to dry.

Inspiration

I got all excited/depressed by looking at the Diablo 3 Concept Art and I decided to do some digital sketches out of my head to see how I compare. Wow...I suck dude! I need to do more master copies and just studies of systems and such. I found myself applying life drawing guidelines to my backgrounds. Thinking of gesture, form, value and details. Then I took too long on that weird perspective one and after that I started to get burnt out so I did some silhouettes. There are a few I really like and I definitely want to expand on them. Maybe I will do that later tonight.

GIANT POST PART 1!

Literally Chilling

Yo I made my first custom brush in Photoshop and then I attempted to draw a part of my backyard. I was experimenting with overlays and other layer blends and I think it turned out alright. I worked on it for about 20-30 minutes.

Background Composite

I never tried to post a video before, but here is something I rendered in After Effects. I created these backgrounds using references and stuff in Photoshop and then I tried to do some "camera" moves. Check it out. I think the song I used is called A Peak In Time by Cut Chemist.

EXPLOSION!

I'm saving up the energy for some craziness. I am gathering this craving to improve. I bathe in the humiliation of my failures and I see how everything I have done can be better. I have learned a lot and I need to step up my game. The heart of the caged tiger, the sword of the samurai, the seven chakras... everything. I'm not going to make shitty art anymore like Ruel said and I need to just get better and really use all this shit. There's not much time left, and I've fucked up enough so here we go! I will start by posting something I kind of felt weird about posting, but I'm not sure what has stopped me from immediately blogging everything I ever do. I HAVE to start posting some animations on here! The paintings and animations I finish, the videos I record...There has been a sense of fear I guess...wondering who I am and if I am brave enough to be myself in this world...fuck that. Time to shine in yo face and blind you with the awesomeness.
