I Finally Made It Out!

So today not only is my official last day of school for the entire semester, but also sadly the end of my wonderful and wild digital illustration class. =( I did learn a lot like I expected in the beginning of the semester. Most of the tools I learned in Illustrator and Photoshop were totally badass! I was hoping to learn more, but I've spent a fun-worthy semester experimenting em all through Christian's demos, and yes... I guess I can call myself a certified PHOTOSHOP ADDICT! XD I sure would love to take the digital illustration C class and wanted to next semester, but it couldn't fit with my schedule, so I guess more self-teaching then of Photoshop for me to see how much more I can learn after going through a whole lot in my digital illustration B class with Christian.

I'll still be bloggin even after the semester has finished, so I'ma be postin up some more of my crazy ass artworks whenever I feel the need to. Once I make more friends in the future esp OL, I'll have em look over my works when they wanna. Blogger's pretty much my home too like PEx, so I'll be stickin around here when I can esp over the holiday break. More artworks to come. ;] Stay tuned!

Little Red Ghostly Hood

So this is my final project, as you can see that I'm doing Little Red Riding Hood. I did want to change it a bit, so instead of having the little red hooded girl present, I decided to make her a ghostly figure (making her opaque). I like the composition myself in terms of the obvious foreground, middleground, and background, but I don't know about you guys. Hope you like the whole design I made here.

Contest Almost At Loss

Gosh I feel like everyone's so lazy to check Blogger. Well, as of these past two weeks I'm still around in the 1100's, so therefore I feel like I'm already gonna lose the contest on total viewpages. I know for a fact Alex is gonna win, so let him. Oh wellz gotta get back to project 3. My mind's all relaxed now esp after the Laker loss. Payce all!

"Walking" to Fame

Haha... I've never really had any of my projects sit on the display case in CSUF until this one, the opener spread that I did for the walking article in my Graphic Design B class. I'm pretty happy it made it there, as it sits there so proudly as this toots the horn for why I officially declared this graphic design field as my major. Well there ya go... I'm getting some solid impressive answers and in just one year, I'ma be walking my way outta here with a BFA in my hand to show how much I adore this subject. Payce yo!

Since the opener made it to the display case, why not post it here too? Heh. Enjoy, foos!

Last for the Day

Last post for the day. These 3 are my collage paintings with roller coaster ink laid on top of each collage by permanent marker. This was done in my Drawing-Painting (Art 307A) class back in the Spring semester of 2009.

First Made Magazine

My first magazine cover creation and done last year in Illustrator. She's so cute isn't she? Hehe ^_^

Listening to "Painting Flowers" - All Time Low

Some Beginner Practice with Graphic Design LOL

Uh huh... another Erich fanart. It was created last year and was also done in Paint Shop Pro that time, NOT Photoshop. My friend liked this one a lot and I feel it's one of my best. Enjoy!

Listening to "Josey" - Hey Monday

Best songs so far by Hey Monday:
- How You Love Me Now
- Run, Don't Walk
- Arizona
- Hurricane Streets

An Abstract Letter Collage

This was something I did for fun... as a means of applying my good ol Typography A skills. I used Illustrator at the time, and I was only a beginner that time. I self-learned the knife tool and used it on this creation mainly to cut off whatever was left on the sides of each box haha. The scissors tool is tough to use, so I preferred the knife since it was a lil easier to use. Created last year on May 5, 2009.

What do you think the letters here are trying to read?

Listening to: "Hurricane Streets" & "Arizona" - Hey Monday
Damn these songs are AWESOME!!! Makes me wanna go far out at the mountains again!! Yeehaw!!

Rock Band Erich Fanart

Hehe... don't tell me I'm already becoming a total blogger addict now lol. I'm posting very often in here. Haaay... makes me miss Pex. =( I'll make my visit again by Thanksgiving break.

No, this wasn't done in Photoshop, instead from Paint Shop Pro. I created this two years ago, having not experienced Photoshop at all that time XD. But yeah... one of my best outside school works.

Listening to: "Run, Don't Walk" - Hey Monday
Good song too! =D

More Spheres

Yeah, I'll just post the rest of my spheres that I worked on in class last Thursday before I leave for the day.

The blurry version
Listening to: "Obvious" - Hey Monday

This one showed a lot more improvement as I have progressed.
Listening to: "Turn the Clock" - Hey Monday

More like a monster ball here hehehe...

Some cloudy effect with the brush...

Could've looked better, but I'm already satisfied enough with this result.
Lakers won btw 124 - 105. 4 - 0 BABY!!! We unbeatable!! Sarah, I know you're watching too, and you must be very happy! Someday I will see that beautiful smile on your face when I see you in person for the first time. I love you everyday... I miss seeing your face on TV now that "Idol" has finished. =( Hope you're okay...

Listening to: "Set Off" - Hey Monday

Ball-a-rific Nature, Baby!

Just feel like posting one of my best six spheres I've done in class yesterday. This brush stroke must be pretty damn awesome I tell ya!

Planning to watch "Casper A Spirited Beginning" in a lil bit. Halloween around the corner meyn!! Ish all good in da hood!

Krazy Keyboard Art!!

Surprised much??? Yeah you bet... lol

Nooo I did not do this keyboard. A fellow pexmate of mine from this one pinoy forum actually created it and said he spent two hours on it. I saw he posted it in the Ericholics thread last summer and boy I was impressed. I oughta give him a lotta credit for this even though I'm a lil jealous *peace* lol. It's okay... I will do something similar to that when I get the chance. I love her too ya know... mweheheheheheheheheh

One Face, One Set of Facial Styles

Part of my very first tryout of Photoshop, as I've learned back in my Graphic Design A class. =)

Inking Thumbnail Interests

These are my comps (as done in marker on 14 x 17 drawing paper) for my Typography A class I took last year in the spring (my first semester in CSUF that is).

It's a shame I haven't done any Sarah Geronimo thumbnails for that 10 or 15-letter project (I deserve myself a smack on the head for that >=( lolz jk), but I am currently working on those since last summer. When I get the chance, I'll post em here soon. I'll also post the finalized inkings of ERICH GONZALES and SARAH GERONIMO... dunno when tho... lol.

Showin Em OFF! ;]

Yeah... since I already posted the cover sheet as part of my 6 best artworks earlier in the beginning of this semester, I decided to post the rest of the entire Lakers schedule as I've redesigned in Photoshop long ago back in the summer. =D Yes, my top three celeb idols are indicated on each page as a special decoration of the schedule, and don't ask why. I'm that much a show off and quite an obsessed freak! XD Joke! Haha

Listening to "Ring Dinge Ding" by DJ Splash. Listening to techno and other dance at night makes me feel so relaxed as though I'm really out there.

If any of you Laker fans from my class are interested in printing out a copy of each of these pages, feel free to do so LOL.

Bonus Posting!! Lmao XD

Since I finished my second project early tonight (before 10), I get to post some of my random outside school works as a bonus!! =D Lmao... I must be THAT corny!

Listening to "Surrender Your Techno" in Youtube.

This is a doodle sketch of a made-up roller coaster I did during lecture of my Life Drawing (Art 217) class last year. It sat on the back of my lecture notes about drawing torsos I think lol.

Early Finish!! Yeehaw!!

Here is my finalized version of my comic strip gag, all done roun the 9 o' clock mark BABY!! Now I'm not needing to sleep @ 1:30 am AGAIN for the third consecutive night! So happy! =D

Time to watch "Magkaribal!" Gonna watch yesterday's episode. PAYCE!!
