Project 1 and more eyes.....and my day.

So today was pretty long but pretty cool. Went to LA to go buy some vinyls at Poobah records. Then went on down to little Tokyo and ate some really bomb chicken katsu from Curry House.I also went on down to Anime Jungle and bought a PVC figure of the X-men Character named Psylocke to add to my figure collection. My poor MPD32 is not getting the attention it deserves since I havent had a chance to make any music. But its alright its only because I've been focusing on my classes and stuff. But I WILL be making a new track next weekend....assuming I don't have a mountain of hw to do. But anyway, I have been starting on Project 2 and the eyes we were supposed to do. We were supposed to do 2 different kinds of eyes. But this time around, one of the eyes (according to blackboard)had to be made of ONLY an art stroke that you create yourself in Ilustrator.For the second eye,we had to use the gradient mesh tool to color it, and to try to give its surface the look of a one of these materials: candy, glass, liquid or chrome. I chose to do chrome. Here are the results of both eyes:



In other news, We all turned in project 1 already, and I must say I am very pleased with how everything turned out. I ended up making a european deer crossing type sign but with Donkey from Shrek on top of it. It really does look like you would see a sign like this in the world of Far Far Away. Here was the final product:




Thats all for today. It's 1:11 Am as I type this. I should go get some z's.

Lots of eyes and a silhouette.

So I totally remembered that today our digital illustration class was supposed to make 2 eyes with additive and subtractive elements. I was so caught up in Project 1 and the seven sketches we have to do that I almost forgot about all the other stuff. (Not to mention we also have to start preparing stuff for Project 2 already!) It's almost overwhelming but regardless, I always pull through with a positive attiude and still managed to get my eyes in. I made a cool additive one, with aliens adding a new element to the eye I created. I then started subtracting elements out of my second eye and was very pleased at the egyptian-esque qualities that were coming out. I then made it brown to add to that egyptian aura that this eye was telling me. Here are the results:




I also have to post all the eyes we have been doing in class so far on here so here they are, including the alien eye and egyptian-esque one:



Speaking of preparing stuff for upcoming project 2, We had to make a silhouette of a picture that was taken of us. We also have to post this up here. This silhouette isn't the final product, but it will look A LOT better when it is finalized and finished with cool designs inside of it. Here's stage 1:



I guess that's about it. I finshed all the things I needed to do for Project 1 and this eye/silhouette stuff. Now I have to watch that Lynda.com video and finish 4 more sketches in my sketchbook. Oh yeah, I have to write about 30-40 things about myself huh? Dang this is going to be a long night.

Some of my best work

Here are some examples of some of my work. You know, since I'm a Graphic Designer and all.
