I just completed my week long course to study and take the tests for my A+ and Net+ certs.
I passed all 3 tests yielding 2 IT certs.
Have an extra day in Orlando, FL... For once, I do not have to be busy? Lol.

Urgent Update!
Sorry for nothing new recently.
Guild Wars released the GW2 Hall of Monuments calculator and I was almost done getting 50/50, so I decided to push to complete my HoM score.
Next, I recently found out that the A+ and other CompTIA tests are going for indefinitely to must be renewed every three years. URGH! This change applies at the 1st of this next year, but if you passed the test before that, it is grandfathered and I will never have to renew it.
I will be gone for a week studying that and hopefully get to see at least a little bit of Orlando, Florida.
Wish me luck!

Titans (Comic) Update
No artwork, but good news!
I started to outline the story tonight and I completed the first section of the comic. There are still many things that I need to do before I start working on the official comic, but this will also allow me to get started on the concept art for it.
For once, drawing won't seem like practice, but for a fun project! The more and more I flesh out the story and characters, it energizes me to work on it.
Cannot wait! :)

Dragon "Horns" Update
Sunday, November 21, 2010
Human Practice

Still learning the proportions on those human faces. I do not have much of an issue when I go more cartoony, but when I try for the more realistic proportions, umm... yeah... it does not work so well, lol.
More practice, I guess... back to drawing!

Dragon "Horns"

Thought I would post a WIP... hopefully this won't kill the mood to work on it, lol. Break time! :)

Titans; Concept Art: Red Petals

I am going to have to call it on this one. I do not know if I just got scared while trying to work on the background or what, but I just felt I needed to stop on this image.
I am not use to doing images like this, but I am sure it will get easier with time. Just wish I could be as good as I want to be right now (don't most artists? :P ).
Edit: I do not know why I said "leaves". I meant Petals. :\

Titans; Concept Art: WIP

I am also working on a blog for this comic. When I have more of it completed, I will link ya all to it.
I bought some new inking pens and they should be coming soon! Once I get those, I will continue on this comic.
Kudos to me! I am happy with this (which is rare)! xD

Bike - Part 3b
Bike - Part 3

I forgot to add my comments, lol.
The bike is almost done and ready for painting. I just need to do the handlebar part, but that's going to be fun if you cannot tell from the picture I took of it... IT SCRATCHED TO HELL! I did not think I would need to get any of that paddy to cover deep cracks and stuff, but if those scratches are too bad, I will definately have to do something. :\
To think I thought I could do this in one day... LOL. I am on the eleventh hour working on this bike. (Most of it peeling decals!) So many damn decals on this bike. Talk about a "cheap" bike. Good thing I am turning it into something actually good. xD
(Sorry about the gif. I fixed the image above.)

Wolf Comic Character

I do not even have a name for the characters yet, but I am not really good at thinking up names. Everything always sounds cliche or Average Joe. Probably not a good habit to try to draw characters after I have started the comic. I was not taking it seriously at the beginning, so do not judge me! xD
I will work on this some more, but sleep took over again, so I have to stop drawing for tonight. :\
Bike - Part 2



This bike has decals all over the place, so I need to figure out how to get them all off with little to no headache. I might have to go try the blow dryer idea. I was just going to scrap them off, but there are TOO MANY than I have the patience for, lol.
Enjoy Part 2! :D

Comic WIP 2

I swear I will get to the third page. :P
I have been testing out different things to get a feel for what I want to do in the comic and the environment. I decided a random choice to do it in a forest or jungle. I will probably touch up these pages one more time then proceed to the rest.
The dialog is not a "final" thing, but it gets the general idea across. :)
Edit: Just realized I forgot to flip the 4th page horizontally - flipped them to make sense to Americans. xD

More on Comic WIP



Most likely I will switch to some comic paper for page 5 and on since this is become a more serious project than I predicted. xD
If a question you have is "what is going on?", I really have no idea either. I usually plan things, but I am just going to explore the world, characters, and situations as I go along. It will be like evolving the characters and world as the characters would explore and etc. Silly idea, no? :P
Edit: Also forgot to add that it reads Right to Left, Top to Bottom.

Family Crest Dragon


The top was a full body rendition. Sometimes I have trouble recreating a character, so it may take some trail and error to get it to look right (especially from side to frontal view). It will probably look more like the pen sketch once I add a little more of the details that bring out the character.
Kudos on the family crest idea!

Zomg... hooman!

I have been slowly implementing them into my artwork to force me to draw them more and more.
Randomly started drawing this guy. Added more and more to him to make him a little more refined (he was originally just a blue sketch).
Enjoy! :P

Dragon and Some People
Deafening and Blinding

The two points on the head can create a spark (or flash) to blind other creatures.
The creature's roar is so loud that it is deafening to the ears. Humans would hear nothing but ringing for a while.
Nom-nom time if your prey cannot see or hear you coming. :P
But, I might try something else...

Matting done! :)

First Matting!

I just need to buy some artist tape to finish this one and move on to the bigger one. :D
The bigger print that I got is this one: http://tangrala.blogspot.com/2009/03/lost-fox-final-image.html. I cannot wait to frame and hang this one! ^^;
...and finally used my mat cutter... yay! :P

"de_turk" final! (Map)

Aftermath: I have learned a lot from doing this again. Stuff that I have long forgotten. Do it right the first time will make it easier for the next map. :P Also, map optimization is VERY important to the client and myself (for map compiling time).
I will find a place to upload this after I wake up. Right now, I need a break from this process. I was getting so irritated when everything was working for everyone else, but not me. After I messed around with different fixes and spending countless hours trying to fix them, I have found that EVERY tutorial I came across for creating your own textures for a map were doing the same thing wrong. Uuurgh!
Anyways, night-night, enjoy all! ^^

Music That Inspires Me...

Live performances seem to have more "life" and the crowd really makes the music feel more soothing to me. I listen to the entire concert, but I found a clip on youtube to share from "Muse - Live at Wembley - H.A.A.R.P. Tour 2007". It does not only sound great, but it is visually appealing as well.. This! ...gets me inspired and motivated!
I also enjoy listening to "Meat Loaf - Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra". :)
Almost Done! (Map)


Bottom is a little closer to give a little more "feel" of the areas.
Turns out this will be a bomb map. I will probably make multiple versions of this map for other game modes.
Will probably touch up a few more things tomorrow. Things that I have to figure out how to get them to work, or adding more props so the area isn't too bland.
When I am done, I am going to release a beta version for testing. Hopefully everything goes well. :)
Oh yeah... and creating the vis for the map... grrr...
