My journal thought for the day

Where am I going in life? Do you ever stop and ask yourself that? I think I do that too much. It's crazy being an artist because I feel like there's so many different routs I could take in my future, but then there are many limitations. I want to make the right decisions but are the decisions always the right decision anyways. Either way you end up learning from whatever choice you make. It may be a positive situation that will bring you joy. Or it could be a decision that dose not turn out so great but, maybe it will help you to apperciate the better things in your life. It's like you can't really apperciate the Spring without going through the long dreary Winter. I know I've made some spontaneous decisions and some bad decisions in my life, through it all the good and the bad is what made me the person I am today. I know we've all heard people say this before but I am now just really realizing it for myself and I'm looking back at my life and I am proud of the person I am today. I am defiantly not following the plan I gave myself as a teenager. I'm 26 and now where near ready to be married and I'm not in my career, YET. I will get there. I will have a career that I will be proud of. My life will be about living and not just about getting up going to work coming home make dinner and then bed. All to do it over and over for the rest of my days. My life will have routine but I promise myself to love my life and to embrace everything that comes my way.

Life Drawing


This is a drawing done in pastels. Sixe is 24x18 in. I enjoy drawing realisticly as well as illustrating.

My Sketch Book Comic


This comic is about myself feeling like I have "artist block". I start doodling one of my favorite character's I draw. Then he starts talking to me, next he pulls me into my sketch book where we have a crazy fun journey through it. Meeting all my other characters I've doodled.

Imaginism Studios

I just posted a really great website of artist I can relate to their work. It's very fun and playful. It's Imaginism Studio'. There's a couple artist within this site. Recent work they have done has been creating some of the character's for the new Alice in Wonderland that's coming out this weekend. The site is really worth checking out. Have fun!

Work in Progress

As of now I am still working on Dragon Dude. I am in the process of adding Motion Capture to him. This means to download already made biped movements. Or in English, skeleton's that are in motion and then adding that to your own biped to do that motion. It's a really cool process when it works. I have my guy walking, doing a little dance and looking around himself. I am having problems trying to keep the figure as one complete piece though. As of now parts of his leg and arms have crazy pieces sticking out of him. I am working on fixing it but it's bit more of a technical issue. Once I have that taken care of I will post the animation... hopefully. :)
