It's time to part...

Created this two-page comics (sort-of) for Illustration class... I wish I had more time to work on it. Doing comics took longer than I thought, or perhaps I'm just a slow-worker. This one took me approximately 7 hrs to complete, including sketching and panel-planning time in my sketch book. I hesitated a lot during the first 3 panels, but after I finished the first page, the following page was done pretty quickly.

Uhm, lol, the title of this post can be quite misleading... I was preferring to the actual story of the comic, not like I'll be abandoning this blog or anything ^^. I've been having a tough time to go through recently (duh, as if it's surprising XD, I say that in almost every blog post, lol). But no one cares if I keep on rambling about my life so I'll just keep it at that for now.

Fallen Angel...

The picture above is the image I did on a stone (it is a huge stone, but has a perfect surface to draw on), supposedly a lithograph ^^!! Printmaking is so much fun. I am lucky this semester to be in a small class, totals of only 5 people including myself. Therefore, the instructor (a great instructor and artist, btw :P) gives us all his time and is very patient in making us understand all the processes involved with lithography. My love for Printmaking increases each passing days :). If I discovered this sooner, who knows, I might change my major to become a printmaker myself. The program for Printmaking is really good at my university, as opposed to Graphic Design. Anyways, I'm not going to go there, hihi :). I can't wait to see these going to prints.

My prayer

Once upon a time, I prayed to grow up fast.
Now that I'm all grown up, I wished that time would turn back.
But...
-Time- waits for no one.
So I learned to stop wishing, and start living.

My design skills are not improving at all for the past 3 years; on the other hand, they seem to be deteriorating fast!!! It's so alarming >___<; I spent a freaking 1 hour and a half to do an in-class assignment again for my Illustration class today, and the result was horrific -_-; Hic T^T, it's time to hit up on the TutsNetwork Photoshop site. Btw, the graphic above was not done for that class... the one I just did was worse than that.

Fade away...

I sketched up and painted this quickly during my Seminars Illustration class so it's quite sloppy. It looks so different on my monitor comparing to the one in my computer lab, oh well. This is not really a good piece, but for some reason, I could totally see it as a cover for my diary, lol XD... with some Korean words to spice things up, hahah.

*yawn*... gosh I'm so sleepy but I still need to work on my sculpture -___-; been in school for more than 12 hours today, and got through three tedious studio classes. Good thing I did not sign up for Art History, otherwise, I would have gone insane with all the amount of work for Tuesdays and Thursdays. Anyways, short post. I'm going to sleep now because I have to wake up in 4 more hours -___-; Ja!

First few wedding album design spreads...

I'm currently designing a wedding album for a friend, and this is my first time so there's a lot of difficulty. These are pretty much just thumbnails for me to see the work without having to open up Photoshop and waiting for the files to load for like 2,3 minutes or more -___- (yea, the pdf file sizes are pretty big, ~600MB for each). There's still a lot to go, but I'm dreading the traditional nha` trai going to nha` ga'i ones. Gotta work hard!!! Ganbatte me, hihih ^^;

||_____ Les Amis _____||

The last two/three days I crocheted like crazy, in hope to complete these as gifts before I pack for my trip to Missouri this coming Thursday. So far I'm pretty much done, save for one more, but that one will not be given until 2, 3 months later so I'm not so worried yet ^^.
I'm so glad that the more I crochet, the better I am at it, and now I understood which side I should use as the outside and what should be the inside. I thought they were all the same, but they obviously weren't, hehe. One thing I don't really like about this is that it is just sooo time-consuming, lol. One project could take up the 4, 5 hours or more depending on the difficulty level. Or perhaps I'm just slow, hihi.

A few pictures to showcase what I had done so far ^^:

This is a picture to show all the parts of this Woofie before I assembled them. Hopefully you can read that it says -My crochet- *winks*.

A complete family with Woofie as the Dad, Moi as the Mom, and their veggie kids Ai and Pe-ar.

So this is the black version of the Monokuro Boo white piggie I crocheted before. They usually come as a pair, but I was just too busy and lazy to make them all at once.

... and Woofie, oh how I love him, he's chooo kawaii
"Woof woof!!!"
