This Should Be The Absolute Last Thing I Should Probably Have Finished For Today...because Ain’t Poster

I officially have two finished webcomic pages now! I’m pretty happy about this development.

Also, my attempt at playing Passpartout was pretty fun, although I was sad that my favorite doodle of them all didn’t sell in the game. Oh well.

Here's an after-work selfie that absolutely no one asked for! Also, yes, I do have a day job. Sometimes it's why I come home and then don't do any art or design. Not always, but sometimes.

Probably not the best work, but it’s more or less a second draft of a typographic quickdraw I made when I was irritated at another classmate over trying to lecture me about gender roles.

Today's #throwbackthursday is brought to you by a WIP based off of UCF's branding. It feels oddly appropriate to bring this up while I'm seriously thinking about going back to school at FSU. . . . . . #artistsofinstagram #digitalpainting #illustration #ucf #pegasus #yellow #black #gold #horse #wings https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fhsxihN13/?igshid=htgdbyvvckia

Here, have an animation for Star Trek’s 50th anniversary!

Even if it was technically an assignment for my advanced illustration course, I had fun with my sorry excuse for fan art (Yes, I grew up with Star Trek in the 90s. My parents and I would watch both TNG and Voyager together, and TOS on occasion.)

I also had fun revisiting nebulas and space as subject matter for digital painting, and this was a lovely excuse to do that, too. Also, this was actually the first time I’ve ever used overlays in something, to be brutally honest. You’d think I would have touched them at some point if I’ve known Photoshop for years...but nope. Not once.

I may have to make a Zelda 30th anniversary illustration and a Pokemon 20th anniversary illustration to accompany this as well, as I grew up with those, too...(and without parental influence.)

I’ve actually gotten off of my butt to produce a logo design draft at 4:00 AM for my roommate’s new company that they’re using for subcontracting work. (And my portion of rent is gonna get reduced for this, so eeyyy.)

I somehow managed to forget a couple of Adobe Illustrator shortcuts off of the top of my head, but I got back into the groove of it after a few seconds.

Other than a few technical tweaks and any personal requests, I’m pleased with what I can spit out in about 2.5 hours.

So, the kitsune death god I’ve been meaning to draw has been mostly speedpainted in the past 3 hours. I need to work on some contrast stuff, rendering that scythe, and deciding on the left hand, but...eh. Still pretty cool

Also, I have a 5-minute Milhouse doodle for no reason other than being asked.

It’s not even a good Milhouse doodle, pssh.

I used up some spare chalk and charcoal for the sidewalk in front of my apartment's staircase. . . . . . #halloween #happyhalloween #skull #chalk #charcoal #chalkart #sidewalkart #halloweendecor #halloweendecoration (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4S-g0ODKKC/?igshid=ahmomsuyaw3g

So, I had this commission for a friend that I finally finished—I have to say that I’m proud of myself for getting Photoshop CC’s current liquefy tool to recognize this as an actual face and let me make a few slight tweaks as if it was a photo of an actual person. I legit did not expect that.

I have learned that watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure all over again when you already know the exact flow of the story yields some interesting tidbits—particularly, bits of dialogue and animation are really beautiful examples of foreshadowing, and I’m just like “Ah! That’s so cool!”

Unfortunately, me and my spoiler hound attitude has screwed up one of my roommates. The other one is new to Jojo, and I have to reign in the first roommate so that the second one isn’t spoiled when he doesn’t want to be, and it’s weird to be vaguely told “well, I got used to you being ok with spoilers!”, and it’s like...

...ay, even spoiler hounds gotta have manners around others who aren’t.
