                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=156587">[link]</a><br /><br />I'm doing the grown-up version of coloring books now! But this time I have to color in the lines.. /sigh. I'm excited though for the most part. Me and Eric Canete (pencil ink dude) are trying to kick some major booty since we're picking up from The End League #1-4, doing #5-8. <br /><br />We went to Seattle this past weekend to Emerald City Comicon and it was pretty fun, especially hanging out with Dustin Nguyen, Tu Nguyen and Esther!! And meeting Rick Remender the writer of TEL and other people at DarkHorse... good times! <br /><br />I guess the next thing coming up is San Diego Comicon.. I'm gonna' try and get in on some covers somewheres, meheheheeee ;3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've noticed that a lot of people tend to psyche themselves out of doing things, you know.. like how they freak out about the actual thought so long that it prevents them from actually DOING what it is. I'm sure it applies to a lot of other things, but I'm kinda talking about school and artkids, and even myself! It's hard to get over that hurdle because you're thinking like WTF THAT HURDLE is like 7 foot tall no one jumps over that omgz** OMG 5 bajillionzillionchrillion thumbnails!!! I think once you have that thought you have to switch a flip and pick up a pencil and start drawing anything, lines, circles, etc, until you get something. Some kids don't, and then they don't do it AT ALL. o_o<br /><br />Starting on the concept art for this project I'm working on I went through the exact same thing. I mulled over the idea that it was for real for real not for school and for many others to see and criticize and then they relate it to you and then it just goes from there, ya know the deal.. I must have mulled for at least a half hour getting a headache before a friend said "just pick up your pencil and f'n draw, DRAWWWWWRR!" That's paraphrased of course.. So I did. And it's been somewhat smooth sailing from there. <br /><br />So, quit picking at the retarded details, it's hot in the room, my head hurts, my pencil doesn't have the right lead, my monitor isn't calibrated, blah blah... and just do it. -_-;;; sigh lol, yes I guess like Nike said. Do they still say that? :<<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yaaaaaayyyyy I've never been so excited to have a break from school as I am now. Gonna' see family, friends, have a great time on Christmas, New Year's, not gonna' mope because I don't have someone to kiss, and finally right at the end going to LA, California to meet some really awesome people, and while I'm there going to Vegas to see some shows and have a good time there too. <br />
 <br />
Bleh. MORE school, but just one more semester hehe... I think it's gonna' be great, with awesome teachers, great buds in Honors Studio and just plain doing awesome work. Sometimes I get all emo and think, "bleh why did I even go to college, waste of money and I could have learned this all on my own!" .. lol, that is so not true. If it was, it'd take me a long while to realize things in the end. Sometimes people have to hit me over the head or get really angry at me to see things, but it's all with love. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
I have learned A LOT of great lessons this semester from Mr. Miller (lol), Tin Salamunic, Jorge Benitez, and Kerry Talbott. You guys rule ~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm not sure what kind of noise that was, but it sure is kind of a representation of what I'm feeling a little lately. For my summer design job, my employer (a photographer) I don't think quite gets the time it takes for illustrators to do anything and I suppose it may be because after photographers snap a million pictures it takes no time to retouch a few in photoshop. She really cares about my work and would like it to be incorporated somehow maybe as a marketing option for our "portfolios" I guess is the word for it, more for me than her though. It would also be an option for clients for the look they would want maybe for portraits, albums, etc. The look would involve something like painterly, you know.. like I labored over it for the client. I would assume I actually labor over it - but as was cleared up today, it would ideally be labored over for 20 minutes max. -___-;;<br />
<br />
So.... yeah.... <br />
<br />
There are options in painter/photoshop to make a photograph look like it was actually done as a painting and all, but that just kind of goes against my morals, lol.. you know, like how I guess a lot of people would like to feel unique. Unique as in someone that stands out from just using those options to get an image optioned out as a painting in a program in a cheesy way. And while this is all like "well it's just a job" - yeah, it is! And if I was just some worker in her office I probably wouldn't have any qualms. But it's the fact of a suggestion of me creating a "style" for myself in this way to market towards other clients outside of who I'm working for now. <br />
<br />
All the while in the back of my head I hear Tin Salamunic <a href="http://salamunicart.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> and Meganck talking about how you gotta start somewhere. Especially Meganck saying he had to "mimic" styles (for jobs) and all that at first to eat! I'm not at that situation right this second, but it's still a soothing thought to know that it's common (and sometimes ok) to sell your soul to the devil to live. o___o; Er, that sounds so bad. xD<br />
<br />
I'm optimistic ~ I'll find a way to make it work I'm sure, haha<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I went to go put my oil paints together ... you know, to get a gist of what I have to work with since I was kind of in the mood to paint with oils ~ and when it was all done I only had 4 colors - naples yellow, ny light, sap green and burnt umber. I had to just walk away from my drafting table and go to my computer and open Painter. It made me sad, lol, paints are so expensive!! Well the good kind anyways. <br />
<br />
And speaking of that, I'm not at a point in traditional painting where I really really notice the difference between student and professional grade. I wonder if I'll ever get that nit-picky, but I'm still superstitious against "student grade". Bah. I'm so weird. /love<br /><br /> ]]></description>

What I really really want is a cute pic of a moogle. Any style, sketch, finished, old, new, whatever! I'll post the ones I get up here (er, if I can figure out how to do that.. :&gt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> And I might even throw in a moogle of my own. <br />

aarrrrrrrrgggghhhh<br />
<br />
You know, I understand procrastination for some things, but when other people are relying on you and stuff, and taking you into all of their considerations for something and they don't hear from you until THE LAST MINUTE about your decisions and plans - wth. All I gotta' say is, God, plz give me some kinda' strength. <br />
<br />
This really makes me learn that you always need a plan C. :/<br /><br /> ]]></description>
