My Blog is the Blog that will rule the World

First snow of the season! So pretty! My pictures don’t really do it much justice.

since I’ve posted any real art here, apart from that one link to the thread with the photographs of my 24-hour comic, so I thought I’d change that. About damn time, too!

Last week was project week for our school! Normally this would mean that we’d be forced to pick some project or other having to do with the week’s special theme, the theme being Slow on this case. I’m not usually too fond of project weeks since the projects we can choose from generally don’t have anything to do with whatever we actually want to learn about, which is animation in the case of my classmates and myself.

We were lucky this week, however, as the head of our animation department was organising a little thing where we were supposed to create short, half-minute-long or so animations to accompany fragments from audiobooks. This was in cooperation with the public library in an effort to make children more interested in reading. Also it allowed us to ignore the usually-restrictive and tedious theme of the week. Noble AND fun! Yay!

My group picked a fragment from Ronia the Robber’s Daughter by Astrid Lindgren. It was fun. I did the backgrounds and some concept sketches, all of which were done on one of the school’s Cintiqs. A terrible decision in retrospect, since now I can never go back to feeble normal tablets.

But anyway, have some stuff:

And now some sketches:

That’s about it for now. I hope you like them, because I liked playing around with them. Cintiqs are really extremely neat. Also,  if you’ve got any helpful tips don’t hesitate to share. I’m tuckered out now and I need to get up early tomorrow to have my picture taken, after which I’ll go to Rotterdam for a few days to play more Brütal Legend and go to a friend’s birthday party.

Good night!

Once again I tried my hand at a 24-hour comic on the International 24-Hour Comic Day, held this year on the 3rd of October. Once again I failed miserably, though with some good reason this year. I only learned that it was 24HCD on 24HCD and as such had very little time to prepare materials and adjust my schedule accordingly.

Also I had an appointment that day with a friend of mine about some illustration work I did (and am still doing) for them and so I could only start work on the comic at six in the evening.

The comic can be found HERE for the time being as I haven’t yet had chance to scan it properly. I’ll do that on Wednesday or something because I’ve got some school business to take care of first. In any case, I hope whoever still visits my site will enjoy the glorious six-page bounty I bestow upon them now.

JoJo out for now, but I will be back soon and shower you with more gifts!

Quick post to justify keeping this thing alive! I mean, nobody reads it so that’s kind of curbed my posting, and I’ve been busy and art-blocked, but whatever. I’ve got time now, I’ll do more stuff.

It’s been an eventful year and shit. School was awesome. I got through the first year without too much trouble. When I sort out my FTP stuff (my free version expired, the bastard) I’ll make a new post with more stuff and details about school. I’ll upload my photos and such and you can all look at them and what I made.

Also expect this thing to get changed around into something fancier some time in the future.

Rock on, you!

no wait I already know

it’s me

that’s right you shitbitches, you ladydogs, you dudeholes, you filthy proles

I got into art school! And not just any art school, but THIS one, which just so happens to be exactly the art school I was hoping to get admitted to. I will start in September this year. I will start in September this year to pursue a degree of animation! Isn’t that tits?

Yes.

It is.

And it’s all thanks to Erin and to a lesser extent my parents for believing in me so much! Yaaaay! YAAAAAAAAAY!

Wooooo, party at my place!
