Notes to Self: Sugar Sweet

I'm very forgetful so I'm posting information (no matter how trivial since I don't seem to follow common sense) on what I've learned so far on Project K.

• Storyboards/Script (From Yee)
• Be more professional.
• Use correct grammar. Think of how to make presentation better

• Silhouettes/Thumbs Example Tutorial
• Base it on an existing person. I have trouble following this one. Celebrity if no close examples.
• Derail your train of thought so you offer variety in your silhouettes. Then narrow.
• Have your shapes tell the personality.
• One opinion: Wide shoulders and flaring limbs give the impression of robotic characters. Also some hairstyles seem to have robotic characteristics too.
• Another opinion: Accurate with basic shapes gives off the feeling of a manniquin/robot.
• Use patterns to denote teams. Colors and lines too.
• Shared ideas that society places on certain imagery is recommended.
• Altered proportions.
• Expression
• Pose personality. After design is almost complete.
• Props
• Lighting on important features
• Consider age.
• Backgrounds
• Try to go for depth in the composition.
• Designate a style to remain consistent.

I asked for two things to combine to practice my creativity. Suggested by Holly. I present to you the squirno.

Really slow. I was stalled by many complications such as incorrect color, proportion, hair, and such.

Gotta get back into painting. I've lost my progress. Hopefully this post will bring much shame and it won't happen in the future but I'll probably stray again. Papa is mad at Chow Mein.

Slow Painting 4

3 hours.

I've learned to unify the piece by using the same style on the background as well. SHouldn't have taken me that long to figure it out but I'm slow in thinking as well as painting.

Slow Painting 3

3 hours

Note to self: Watch out for distorted faces and awful patterns.

Slow Painting 2

2 hours and 4 min

Slow Painting 1

Since summer has been in session for a while now and I'm inspired by fellow peers' speedpainting, I've decided to take up speedpainting again since I'm free. This first one though was a self portrait from life and I was experimenting with painting styles so I got in about two hours on this one.

The color of lips will always escape me.

Pea Green Boat

I contributed to a friend's ezine, Pea Green Boat, and they liked my art enough to put it on the cover. I've never been featured anywhere so it's exciting even though it's non-profit. Hopefully it'll be a good experience.

Game Development Project: Kadok

I participated in the SJSU Game Development Club's fall 2010 "photos" game competition as an artist.

I've contributed:
Stage 1

• Designs for the stork, and its pixel animation frames.
• Designs for the parents, and final pixel art of half of them. The other half was done by Justin.

Stage 2

• Designs for the player character, NPCs, and car.
• Animation frames for the previous items.

Stage 3

• Designs for the girls and the player character. Justin was kind enough to finalize the sketches for me. He also did the wonderful background.

Stage 4

• Design, and animation frames for the player moving, and climbing. Poorly done since I attempted it without getting to that part of the semester in Art 28.
• Ladder.
• Background.
• Thank you to Justin for the power-ups and to Kristopher for the awesome programming.
