This is my first film piece I plan on working a lot more on improving the illustrations by removing the brush, easier to distinguish characters and heavier line weight. Remove some flashing. Cleaner sounds from the mic. Maybe even personal musical audio I create myself. This is basically my first step toward what I want to do for my Senior Thesis. This is a step still a lot to do to improve, but try and enjoy. Critiques welcomed but try and remember what I just said. I already know these obvious problems.

The Avatar Gang
So during a late night avatar watching party with friends. Me and some of my art buddies decided to sketch one of my sketches was oh me and my closest cincy friends as a warrior for each element. We all pretty much was divided in the fact that, I felt I would be a fire bender, and sunny related to the earth benders, and Emily to the water benders, then also we put kenny the extra as an air bender because he really can be passive when it comes to fighting. He is not the avatar just an air bender. Oh wait I should be tlaking about teh my work, woops!
So you can see the sketch it was taken a photo of since my scanner is currently not working. But that is right out of the book. I really wanted to make this us and not the characters but I did base some of our designs on avatar characters to fit the theme and mater our element bending tribes. But its just us.
So im working with photoshop in coloring and drawing and I thought I would quickly make a new layer to show how the colors are going to start building up then eventually I think I can remove past layers as I need and they arent needed, like the original sketch its self
So no lines and not much figured out with color balance and I know Im going to change a couple of things since its photoshop and I can do whatever, but this is what it looks like currently and there is more to do and show. I'll be sure to up date on this sketch and I have a couple of other doodles I might be throwing in here to do the same thing,
Also Sunny Han, http://influentialnonsense.blogspot.com/ has been a lot of help getting me more comfortable with drawing in photoshop and really has been inspirational to my drawing recently. We've actually have done a lot of common theme stuff I think we might be feeding each other creativity. But shes great so check out her blog
Also check out Emily Thompson, http://italianginger.blogspot.com/ she has been doing some great design work, and im really proud of her work, its really interesting and different.

A tattoo
So its not developed, but here is the idea to this design.
My step mom keeps talking about wanting to get a tattoo on her foot, and a connection to her kids.
So I thought of making a design for that, its a flower, and each petal will have a name of someone closer to her, and she could always add falling petals of future grandbabies and stuff of that nature.
Right now its a rainbow, but I think its not really her, and its more me, but its a work in progress. So here is the first step I guess.

Quick Update
So I haven't done much on here but I have done a lot. I've made comics, drawings, and done a few small craft like projects that I just haven't documented or posted. Particularly because they are more for me than for show. They arent fully developed, but it is me. Recently I've been really into gaming in the role playing world of imaginations and I really like illustrating my characters and bringing them to life.
As an artist who likes to tell stories I am trying to make a story to DM, or to Dungeon Master. For those that don't know what that means that would be me making an adventure for other people to go though. I like the idea of creating this world, and seeing how my friends who go through my world like my non playing characters, the description of the world, and the over all story. If goes well, maybe I can make a functioning online game with flash that will have choices.
Unfortunately for a video game there is so much more limitations and a lot to be developed for a story to show where the characters could lead. I made one game but didn't finish the graphics for an animation class, and I think i would like to update that and post to show what I am talking about. Like a choose your own adventure book, but game.
Though currently most of my focus and time has been to job hunting. Luckily I had an interview in one week for a Teaching Assistant job at a preschool. And I have just been commissioned to do a large family portrait painting for a good friend of mine. I am very hopeful for both of these opportunities and I feel confident that given the chance I can do a great job.
This Post is less about my art and more about me as an artist. We are constantly searching and moving forward for progress in our lives and work because we have to, to fulfill our desires to create. But I feel a calling with my work. There is something about having a real choice. Not playing a game with one time line and a guarantee of winning if you finish. Just the idea of Living a different life, where you could die and no accomplish anything, or save the world. Just the concept of being swept away in a story fascinates me. So for now I leave you with that, and I hope to have more to show soon.
