Working on: [link] , 20x30" canvas
This really is the first proper painting I can take a break from and go back to it without feeling like it's a 'chore'.

Guess who dropped college?
- Health is being a bitch (AGAIN), and I am sick to the imaginary back teeth of it getting in the way. So it can't get in the way if I have nothing to do, woo!
- Can not afford college anymore. Well.. technically I can, but not eating very much and things in shops teasing me when I am poor is annoying.

I'm not actually unregistered yet but come Monday I should be. Then it's on to stealing government money on a weekly basis, woohoo!

I talked to my tutor yesterday about it and he was super super super nice and helpful (I kind of regret bitching about art so much last year). The seekretz plan (when/if he gets college permission) is that I'm still allowed to go into the art room/course whenever I want, even though I'm not a student! How awesome is that?! He said he'd keep helping me with a portfolio for next year, but just as long as I keep busy at home. Which will happen 'cos I'll have a ridiculous amount of spare time Huzzahhh.

I missed life drawing this week because of being coughsickchoke.
Didn't miss drawing wonderful parts of old cars which I already done last year. Exciting. Yawn.
We done mono-printing which was SIMPLE! Seriously, rubbing crayons and oil pasteils over some surface onto paper, I felt about 5 again! And then ink printing, actually done PROPERLY compared to the disasters last year.

But yes.. I need to go find a good Hide pic now.
edit: FOUND! Gonna do this one [link]

New house → NO INTERNETZZZDIfhYFH;KDFGDKS

Landlord said the neighbours *may* have stealable internets, knowing me I will be frantically jumping into uncontrolable positions all over the house just to get a signal (eg: sitting on the roof, hiding in the hotpress, etc). If that (expectedly) fails then I'll probably treck out to the college or go on a blood-thirsty rampage through town looking for WiFi. Trust me e-people, you have NOT SEEN THE END OF ME MWAHAHAHchoke.

So, UUUUH. Nothing done as of late.
Photoshop trial ran-out, I stupidly forgot to put the crack into a different folder so HYUK HYUK HYUK I have no more Photoshop unless someone copies it for me on disc *puppyeyes?*, oC trial ran out but it's just that the files aren't savable anymore (nothing good ol' FB + Home can't fix, hyuk hyuk..). I guess forcing my child-like brain to succumb to the wonders of oC whilst not being distracted by internets (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!) will hopefully make me catch the hell up.

I'M TERRIFIED OF THIS GAMES DESIGN COURSE
MEH MEH MEH MEH MEH

Cease pointless entry!

Strange.. I do an art course and hate art. Then get ready to do a different course that isn't art-related and suddenly change my mind!
Constantly looking for ideas.. old stuff needs to be retaken/edited/scanned, hopefully I can pull my head out of my ass at some stage to do all this.

I got a new laptop, yippee! Now is the time to fill it with crap and make it blow up too!
Full advantage of new web-cam. Being bored. Missing destroying my hands in pencil lead and smudging it all over my face. What's better to do than a YouTube video?

[link] (Outline)
[link] (Shading)
NOTE: The web-cam seriously raped the hell out of the perspective.
Finished, here: [link]

Yes, all my life drawing looks stupidly cartoony. Plus I got really irate during the shading and just ended up speeding through it, oops.
Productive critism please!

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Posted college application form. Someone else I know that is started this year got accepted, I still have no word. Noo! Hopefully it's not to late =_=

Mandatory:
- Animation
- Games Studies
- Music Technology
- Communications
- Work Experience
Electives
- Computer Programming

- Mathematics for Engineering

- Multimedia Authoring
- Image Processing

Maths and Physics?
What the hell am I getting myself into?!
Well at least there's some drawing in it.. so I guess it can't be ALL THAT bad
Will find out in September..

Animation rang me about the course (in May) but I wasn't at home to get the call, argh. And then anytime I rang the college back there was no answer, double argh. And now because I left it waaay too long there isn't a hope of me being able to do that course for September, triple ARGH.

Illustration is a miss because I am stupidly under-prepared, plus I wont find out if I ACTUALLY got a place in the course (#5! Priority list!) and waiting until September to find out is too unsettling, and even if I DID get in I wouldn't have enough time to get ready to move/buy course materials/etc.

Look at me thinking ahead..!~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME.
I'm officially (supposed to be) a fucking responsible adult now y'all!.... Que obnoxious/sarcastic laughter.

College finished up May the something'th (I'm not sure what date because I 'forgot' to go back in.. oops). WAS ALLOWED TO EXHIBIT!!! But only put up 4 or so pieces, not much but I was super-lucky to even be allowed to.

Anyways.

UUUHHHH I haven't drawn since. Going to stick up a few pieces from college later on because they've been raping my phone memory for a while..


- #5 on illustration priority list!
- Got accepted into animation!
- I don't know what to do with myself anymore!

Doing art in college is making me NOT want to do any drawing or anything creative at home, I'm such a contradiction! @@;

In the meantime.. my neighbour wants me to do a mural on some playschool wall place that she works in (I think?), it'll help build up work experience that I missed out on for college

A local writer (who curated all the previous college exhibitions) came in and gave us idea's and critique on our work; she looked at my briefs and said I should stick to the colour/emotion mask light things. She seen my work area and noticed some Japanese stuff I had stuck up (and she said I have a Japanese sounding name at the beginning when she asked me.. SCORE!! Hahah) and said I could do some traditional Japanese masks too because the other face casts/masks wont take long to make.
She was awesome More or less told me to not listen to Edwin and do whatever work I want to do!

On mid-term from college now and I'm enjoying my wonderful sickness, not. But taking advantage of not going outdoors and getting some more drawings done and sorted : D

ART PROJECT!!
Idea's were checked last Wednesday and Edwin likes a page (3 items) of my ideas (out of 7!) ^_______^
But he wanted me to figure out a way of entwining all the idea's into one concept, so I've been mushing my brain about all weekend about it but can't think of anything.. briefs are being checked someday this coming week (meeps), best thing I can think of is they're all human/thought related so.. it'll have to do him :/

But when they get done (hopefully) I'll post them up here.. might steal a few things out of the art room and stick them up too, not that they're much for showing off or anything ;/

Man, I need to make something worth showing off! All my stuff is below-below-BELOW ._.

NA BHI AG STEALING MY IDEAS!!

In a nutshell:
Sculpture:
→ Bodycast. That's all I'm telling, I'll show you when I've done It seems like an awesome idea to me so HOPEFULLY it will all work out in the end! I've just started a proto-type and then it's on to the hard work.
→ Clay, making 3D models. I've been meaning to get into clay models for AGES but never had the time/clay to do it, bought 1KG of the stuff today so I'll experiment and try not to waste it at the same time ;D
→ Animals/objects with human faces. I don't know why, but I'm getting really into seeing faces and emotions in/on art and/or animate/inanimate objects, it's really interesting. I'm going to subdue this for a while, and then forget/lose interest, probably.

Painting:
→ Body cast. I think you can guess where this is going
And that's probably it for painting considering I can't do it to save my life..
*Sigh*.. I hate abstract.

Drawing:
→ FINALLY (!!!!!!) got an idea for a comic page! Anne and me were sitting in her car eating a Chinese takeaway and there was a hair in her food.. PING! Idea came. Again, not telling though I'll throw it up on DA when it's done, it shouldn't take too long anyways.
→ Random doodles/more character design.

And with all that, the stress builds up for having ABSOLUTELY NO SKETCHES/DRAWINGS DONE FOR COLLEGE, Edwin-style (like, tree's/tonal work/detail from life. And probably abstract perving?). And Edwin hates my style of art, so he's not going to be impressed, even though I've kept myself mega-busy over the holidays.
Bah, humbag.

Anyway, hope everyone had a nice Christmas and New Year!


Edit: Getting really into Cynic over the holidays. The new album is... fffff... FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP!!!

Basically, Xmas card:
NO Santa's
NO snow
NO Christmas tree's
NO holly
NO reindeers
NO Church's/Cathedrials (sp?)
NOTHING REMOTELY CHRISTMASSY.

Yet when I started painting mine (landscape.. it got elm trees in it!), he told me to keep in mind that it's a Christmas card.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?!?! UUURGH!!

And I missed out a few days so I've fallen waaaay behind in finishing it (still gotta do the footpath, some tonal work, finish leaves etcetc) but the brushes I took home with me are shit and the bits I've done at home don't fit in with the painting. SOOO I've to paint over them in college, which means I'll have just as much work to do as like if I've never even touched it, and Edwin is pissed with me enough as it is.


Moving on..
Apart from that, college is awesome
Except (more whine time), Edwin doesn't seem to allow us to do our own thing.
So I'm stuck another year not having a clue what style I am.
Excellent..

Anniepants howed me around her college earlier in the week, it's awesome ^.^ May apply for it next year..

I NEED CANVASES!! Or loads of cardboard I've been getting so many idea's for paintings lately but I've nothing to display them on! Also loads of idea's for characters for a comic yet STILL no sign of a storyboard.
Yet speaking of which, I don't have the patience to finish a painting or character fully T_T
Also.. getting big into sculpture.. gonna rape Eason's of all their clay and make up something.

Stay tooooned.

STARTED COLLEGE!!!
Art/Craft/Design in the coolege of Cyaavan.. was my last place of interest to go to to study any form of art but it's going pretty snazzy. I likes it ^_^ Still don't have a freakin' clue what I'm gonna do next year (Dun Laoghaire? Ballyfermot? Be an absolute bum and sign up for the dole? Stay tuned...) but there's still a good few months to decide :B

Also I added up a few things to this, 'cos I deleted the art folder on my Bebo and thought it was about time too that I updated this blasted page.

Might try and add up a few things from college if I can

Take care~

Everything/one is pissing me off today -_-''

I've absolutely no motivation anymore to do any new drawings or anything :C

I want Photoshop but my taplop is being stupid, and openCanvas is starting to peepee me off.
I can't draw for shit anymore cos I keep getting the dimensions messed up and I can't paint cos I've absolutely no patience.. I must have like 5+ paintings lying around the room not finished..
I want to sculpt but there's no clay, and I want to make models but I'll get frustrated :/

I'm trying to stay busy with other things (finishing reading books, tidying room, etc) but my brain slowly keeps dragging me away from it and back to watching Tv :/

AGH!!!
Hard slap, anyone?

Uffft -_+;

...

Anyways, just (FINALLY!!!) found/downloaded World of Warcraft original soundtrack Listen to it! It's sexellent.

Now to just attempt to save up €450 for the course, which needs to be paid before 6th June ~_~
€50 deposit needs to be saved to secure a place, €400 for supplies.
Oh man, I can't wait.


I just subscribed to DA... is it really worth it?

First things first... DONE THE MO'FOO'IN' INTERVIEWS FOR COLLEGE!! Animation went splendid - except like 60% of my portfolio was useless 'cos it was all cartoon-y/characters and it wasn't what they were looking for (they wanted life drawing), but luckily they liked some stuff, and I got accepted at the interview desk!
Mixed Media was a bit strange, they liked different things and took interest into the photography and the way it was edited, and some still life and colour drawings. I've no idea if they'd accept me though because they never gave a straight-out opinion :/ The woman interviewer was more interested in finding out what FETAC level I needed for the course

YET SAYING ALL THAT, I don't have the right FETAC level to get into the college, sobsob. But the guidance woman in the college said to keep the animation letter of acceptance safe until next year (when next years interviews will be taking place), and bring it with me as well as drawings and shit and I'll have a super-mega-chance of getting accepted again :3


IN OTHER NEWS!!... life's a beach.
