If there's anything you want me to see/do/interact with, or if you just plain old want to have a little chit-chat, drop me a line! I appreciate good communication

I really loved that system. It was way more interesting than the PS2. Too bad it tanked. I've still got oooooone :>
But yeah, five more weeks of school left. Just toughing it out. Really eager to get the heck out of here, though in the meantime I'm attempting to learn as much as possible.
Hope everyone's having a good year so far! Keep at it!

Also slightly changed plans, dropping out of art school completely and joining the Air Force full time, been meaning to update but ag I'm tired.

This is EXCELLENT news. It means that I am ten billion times less stressed out. Art is finally fun again, and I actually get to do everything else I've always wanted to but never thought I could.

So I'm transferring to an art school closer to home, working towards my Pilot's License and joining the Air Force Reserve. I am glad that I had the opportunity to spend a year at SCAD! I learned so much, most importantly that independent function is no sweat for me. I love everyone I've met there and wouldn't change my decision to attend if I could. I'll miss it, but my life is taking me to different places.

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I'm still working on all of the projects I was previously, and a bunch of other stuff to boot, only now I'm simultaneously undergoing life changes

Cheers!

Sorry, guys. I might not finish in time.
I should have cut my script down, I know, but I really liked it.
Even if I don't meet the deadline, I'm still going to finish it and upload it.
It's just bad timing. I mean, who would have guessed that this would take place over the EXACT period of time that my college finals are going on? XD
Ah well. Sorry guys. I'll try.

I'm proud of myself, though. I just got up and put it outside. Mostly because there are about ten thousand more, and killing it would have been an excercise in pointless violence and futility. But ah well. Like I said, there are worse things.

Now I shall promptly attempt to get more sleep.

I've been wanting to do that for months XD

Yep, it's my birthday

EDIT: I just went to the Majors Fair at SCAD, and aaaag. The chair of the Game Design department is AMAZING. She's my hero. That's all there is to it. She's such a neat person, and she's so passionate about the field. Also imbedded in it, which is important. I am definitely double-majoring now. There is no way I'd just throw a crummy minor at her, no way. Definitely, definitely, definitely.

I can't wait until next Christmas.
It's too long D:
Crycrycry.
You had better all go see it. Several times. Support traditional animation, and make my future life easier. Haha.

Hopefully it's good.

It could really go either way.

Financial Aid Award Fund Status Amount
SCAD Honors Sch On Camp Accepted $2,250.00

Total $42,510.00

Yep, that covers everything. HA. WE DID IT! You have no idea how happy I am right now.

Free requests for everybody! My only regulation is that if you want an animation, it's going to be sketchy, and it's going to be five seconds max. That way it stays fun for me. Cleaning up animation is the most arduous, irritating thing I've had to do lately.

And Dojang! Fight animation is first on my to-do list. I get to cut down on work hours now, so it should be out pretty soon.

I once had a gigantic Pixar bias for various reasons that I won't delve into here.

Ratatouille stopped that old wheel dead.

And now I've just seen the best thing ever. Ever.

Makes me glad that I'm young. And also very glad that I'm an aspiring animator.

See Wall-E. And smile, because you can

Can't wait to see Wall-E, if I can get someone to take me.

I've heard it's awesome. Plus, I'm a sucker for sci-fi. Even if it's cutesy Pixar sci-fi.

Okay, okay, to give this journal entry purpose:

I'm sorry I haven't finished everything that I promised I'd finish. I'm working on it, I am. Full time job, plus cleaning up game animation, plus chipping away at pieces for friends, plus outside commissions, plus video game addiction, plus necessary daily life drawing equals negative free time. I really have to work my tail off to earn the right to sleep nowadays, no joke.

So, sorry D:

I'm trying, I really am.

]]> ~DarkWolf91 http://DarkWolf91.deviantart.com/journal/18754617/ http://DarkWolf91.deviantart.com/journal/18754617/ Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:53:22 PDT Edit: Am also taking animation comissions. See bottom of journal for details. Due to massive price fluctuations in said commissions, never assume that you know the cost of your request right off the bat. Always contact me to negotiate pricing.

Yes, I know how many other journals look exactly like this one. And I know everyone else is just as hard-pressed to cope with college tuition as I am. But I simply have to push every way of earning money possible to me.

I'm taking commissions. Whatever the heck you want at a rate of five dollars for sketch, eight dollars for line-art, twelve dollars for digital coloring and fifteen dollars for traditional coloring. (Single character/characterless pictures. Two dollars per extra character. You may negotiate the removal of this extra character fee if your characters are simple.) Backgrounds included, unless otherwise specified at the foot of this journal. If your commission is traditional and you'd like the original mailed to you, shipping is at your expense. Otherwise I'll e-mail you a digital version of the piece at a DPI and in a file type of your choice.

Paypal is preferable, but I will also accept cash. Mail it at your own risk, unfortunately. Commission work will not be started until payment is received.

I'm not posting this in hopes that people will throw money at a charity case. And please, please do not commission me if you have your own financial struggles to adhere to. All I ask is that you spread the word. If you happen to know anyone who's looking for a cheap, high quality commission(and trust me, I'll work my freaking tail off), please, please point them my way.

Once again, I am capable of drawing anything under the sun.

Here's a clearer price chart, with corresponding exaples of my current work:

For single character/characterless pieces:

Sketch: $5.00

[link] (The character in the middle. Sketches will probably be in pencil, though.)

Line-art: $8.00
Available colors of traditional Line-art include blue, black, green and red. I think. Digital colors are unlimited, but note that if you want me to send you the original, the lineart color will not match the alternate digital color you requested.

[link]

[link]

[link] (Silhouette works are covered by the lineart price, and are available upon request.)

Digital Coloring: $12.00

[link]

[link]

[link]

Traditional Coloring: $15.00

[link]

[link] (Except... all traditional)

[link]

[link]

[link]

$2.00 per extra character. (Fee removal may be negotiated if characters are simple.)

Backgrounds in sketch and line-art commissions(realistic or stylized), as well as stylized backgrounds in colored pieces are complimentary. However, due to the significant increase in labor they supply, realistic backgrounds in colored commissions will add $5.00 onto your total cost.

Animation Comissions:

Most of these prices depend heavily on the complexity and subject matter requested, and may therefore raise or lower at my discresion. So keep that in mind. Haggling is perfectly acceptable, but please be respectful. Animation is labor intensive.
Also keep in mind that you won't be getting any full-fledged scenes unless you're pretty darn loaded. Single shots, actions, emotional reactions, walk/run cycles and loops will be the most affordable.

All animation will be done at 12 fps. If you'd like me to work at 24 fps, be prepared to pay double.

Sketch avatar animation: $5.00-$8.00.

Fully lined/colored avatar animation: $7.00-$9.00

Full sized sketch animation: $15.00-$20.00

Time to kick my rear into gear.

Okay, okay. I'll stop.

High school is finally over and done with. Six long years, and what have I to show for it?
Jaded optimism, unconditionally unrequited love and a permanent proverbial headache.
Ha, I'm going to miss that place.

I don't want to stare at a computer screen and manipulate rigs all day.

I wanna draw.

Oh well. Hopefully there will be more opportunities for traditional animators in the next six years.

But yeah, got Spyro: Eternal Night for Christmas. Aaaag, stunt casting. When I see Spyro's badass face, I don't want to hear Elijah Wood's melodramatic, whiny voice. What happened to his old punky voice actor? That guy was a genius. Damned studio switchover. And I liked Sparx(Who for years I called Sprax. Thank you, short attention span.) a whole lot better when his vocabulary consisted of 'Bzz bz bzz bzzzz BZZZ.'
Spyro was never meant to take itself seriously :/
I miss lines like, 'Yet another brave warrior lost to the evils of love,' all of which have, sadly, been replaced by lines like, 'All of my friends are dead! We need to learn to trust each other! The world as we know it is going to crumble into oblivion!'

Oh well. It's a challenging game, anyways. Very fast-paced, all action. The downside of this is that it feels cramped and claustrophobic at places. They never give you room to breathe. So many of the old platformer elements have been lost.

Eh, maybe I'll play it on mute.

Working on my portfolio. This is an excuse for my inactivity.

Ohmygawd I've improved so much. I desperately need to upload something.

1) I really love my art. Not in a delusional kind of way. Believe me, I see every tiny flaw multiplied tenfold. I just really, really love my art. And I always freak out on people when they say, 'I guess no artist loves their own work,' or 'Man, I hate this drawing!' If there's one thing that really gets me down, it's when an artist makes a point of telling me that they hate their art.

2) When I'm drawing without a particular character or scene in mind, my stuff gets very macabre. As in I start spewing twisted, oozing, rotting, emaciated things. With, like, bones sticking out. And extemely large eyes with pinpoint pupils. But I don't really think about it as being disturbing at the time. I should probably submit some of that stuff.

3) I hate working straight through things. It makes me feel cramped and kinda restless. When I'm animating something I'll usually have lineart opened in photoshop, and a little anatomy study sketch next to my tablet. That goes for painting, too. I have to be in a rare mood or positively strapped for time to finish something in one sitting. Like that dragon animation that took me... Fourteen hours? One sitting. See? I can work through things when it's necessary.

4) I really don't have a preference when it comes to subject matter. All there is is 'Nah, I don't feel like drawing that right now,' and 'Sure, I'll draw that,' and the items that fall into those categories are constantly flip-flopping.

5) I'm fully aware that I have no idea how to draw half of the things that I draw, but I freaking draw them anyway. Another pet peeve is when people say, 'I'm not going to draw this because I'm not good at drawing it.'

6) I love drawing people and noting unique aspects of their physical structures. Especially noses, hair and eyes. Wrists and shoulders to a lesser extent.

7) I really enjoy working in traditional mediums, but usually don't have the time or resources.

8) I never compare my art to other people's. Never ever. I do, however, admire everyone else's art. And I mean everyone. Even when I see a picture and catch myself saying, 'NOTHING is that fucking SHINY,' I still admire the Hell out of it.

9) My taste in music is predominantly for the sake of my character development. No joke. Only recently have I started to listen to music that I actually enjoy on a personal level.

10) I always feel like people are trying really hard to find reasons to dislike my art. So I generally don't share my personal projects with anyone unless I trust that they won't try to pick them apart. I'm paranoid like that. And I actually can't think of anyone off of the top of my head who is significantly aware of my personal projects.
