"I Haven't Seen You in a While.."

Wed Oct 28, 2009, 3:48 AM
  • Mood: Content
For the past month, I have been hearing the same thing from people I have made connections with at school, work, or even on Facebook: "I haven't seen you in a while. How are you?"

Recently, the director of my undergraduate art program asked me that question while she stepped out from teaching class. It's been a while since we have talked, and I informed her about my experience of the graphic design program and everything.

And that's why I haven't posted anything on deviantArt for a while. I have been busy with projects, trying to getting my club chartered before the semester is over, as well as working on my portfolio blog for internships. It's a lot to do, and lots of emotion that have taken place within the past month.

I'm honest, I thought I lost my way a bit, having no clue what I was becoming or how this will all turn out couple of weeks ago. After talking to one of my professors, I'm feeling better of my path. I just have to stick with the growing pains of learning graphic design. Seriously, graphic design has pushed me to be a better conceptual thinker when it comes to comics, drawing, and direction. It's just that I haven't had time to show it here on dA.

This brings to my focus for this journal: I know I haven't posted in a long while or have commented much. However, I do check deviations when I can, and make note to comment when I have the time to. As for my own works, it's slow because I refuse to try and rush something just to present on dA. Comic or illustration. What I will do, I will compile a sketch dump this weekend, seeing I do sketch on the side from time to time. And yes, it includes a couple of Mauly sketches.

As for the B.O.A.T.S.S. comic, it'll resume sometime in mid November. Sorry, but these last projects are going to take up most of my time and I want to finish strong. I'm going to be redesigning a wine bottle (NO I DON'T DRINK! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!) as well as creating a website...and other things.

With that, how are you guys? Any updates? Let me know, and I hope you guys continue to have a wonderful week! Peace.

Contro out.

This comparison between Pixar and Dreamworks is amazingly accurate. [link]

Yeah, I saw that before, it's hilarious. :) And pretty much it's the quickest way to relate the two studios. :)

I never noticed they used the same facial expression for characters in most of the films' posters.

He's doing his best to stay up and to continue to engage with others. I spoke to him this past weekend, though it was a bit hard to talk to him...his health is not that good. But at least he's encouraging others, still providing thoughts like he was healthy.

I appreciate you asking bro, thanks! :)

More info on that game I showed you called Epic Mickey. It was chosen as a Wii exclusive because Mickey's weapons are art tools such as a paint brush to build or repair stuff, and an eraser and paint thinner to destroy obstacles and even change the very fabric of the world.

The story is that there is this dark void where the forgotten beings of the Disney universe such as lesser known characters, rides and so on. The main villain is Oswald the Luck Rabbit, Walt Disney's first creation, rules the forgotten and blames Mickey as the reason they are stuck in the dark void and not in the spotlight. So he unleashes another forgotten character called The Phantom Blob to use his ink powers to completely change the entire Disney Universe into a dark post apocalyptic type world and get revenge on Mickey.
