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!
