Wham, bam, I’m off to enjoy my six week break of Summer. Suck it life.
I wrote and lettered it. Although I have to say, the artist did change a bit of the story around (at least the paneling of it). As a result I think that page 5 makes little to no sense. But you decide. Click the little gray boxes below if you’re viewing this in the tumblr dashboard:




Made for my Interactive Design class to get a grasp on ActionScript. I struggled with this in the beginning, but when I wrote out my logic on paper then it all just came. There was this ah-ha! moment where everything just clicked and the code just flew out in a few hours. So this is nothing to write home about, but I’m posting it because it’s my virtual fridge and I’m damn proud of this shit.
Photoshop class assignment: make yourself look like an action figure. So I chose to try and make myself look like a Green Lantern toy. It’s meh. It’s really hard to get your skin to look like it is painted plastic and not just a matte surface. To that end, I tried sticking some shiny spots on my face but they’re subtle (on my chine, below the mask on my cheek and above the mask on my brow). And then all I did was liquify some lego dude’s hair, slap it on, mess with a green lantern mask and slap it on as well. And then shazam, you get my mediocre me as a Green Lantern action figure. If my Photoshop didn’t suddenly realize that I was using it beyond the trial period, I would try to go back and adjust the lighting on the head, but alas, I don’t have 500 bucks to go buy the student Creative Suite.
Well wouldn’t you know, I done gone ahead and finished my final project for Digital Video before Spring Break. Derp.
(Let me know what you think of it)
Today in my Spanish class, my teacher decided we’d have class outside on the mall so we could watch the last space shuttle launch.
Still from my Digital Video final. Friends helped me film and act tonight, makes a guy feel all special inside. Like an adorably fuzzy puppy is insulating my innards and tickling my intestines. It’s such a sweet feeling.
I used Juan as the subject of my first photoshop project for my Digital Imaging class. Well, actually, half of the project, because the other component was making an old photo look new. I think it’s okay.
Last semester, having begun to take a bunch of art classes (Western Art History II, Intro to 2D Design, Drawing Fundamentals I) I was exposed to a group of people that were pretty consistent. That is to say, I had a bunch of the same people in those classes. And it’s carried over a little this semester as I take three Digital Media classes (Digital Imaging, Digital Video and Fundamentals of Interactive Design). I see a lot of the people I met last semester.
Including this couple. At first, last semester, they were cute. Aw lookit—a couple is taking all their classes together, I thought. But now they’re fucking annoying. The girl is constantly bitching and moaning about some teacher being mean, which is just unattractive to begin with. And then on top of that last night they sat right in front of me in the auditorium and did “cute” coupley shit for the two hours of class. Stupid shit. Like nuzzling. And sticking pens under their noses? And doing that really annoying couple-laugh. Directly in front of me. While I’m trying to focus on the teacher. For a solid two hours.
Maybe I’m the grumpy old man from Up, but holy shit, they’re so annoying. Who does that though? Talk about 24/7 relationship. The chick seems to lack any independence too, she follows the guy’s lead in everything but complaining. She is like a manic depressive maniac going through fits of stress and love and taking it out on the guy. I know too god damn much about their relationship and I’ve never really spoken to either of them. I’ll stop complaining now but damn, I’m really not looking forward to the next year of classes with these two. Wouldn’t it be deliciously fun if they broke up and had to take all the same classes still? Ok, I’ll stop.
