Too Damn Cold

Hey all,

I was in Puerto Rico for Christmas and New Years to celebrate with the family which I hadn't done in a while so it was kind of refreshing. It was nice to see my grandparents again and my dogs and realize just how old Im getting since now my little cousins are about the same size as I am and in some cases actually taller. It really is quite frightening how time can fly.

I also forgot how freaking cold it is up here. All the wonderful moisture that my skin had taken in from being in the tropical climate in PR is gone now. I can literally hear my skin beginning to crack in certain places and my lips are so freaking dry now they hurt and will probably be bleeding by the time I wake up tomo- well, techincally today.

The flight wasn't so bad, least bumpy flight I've actually been on in a good long while.

And now if you would turn your attention to the right over here, this is one of the character designs for the main character in my Thesis Film "Belief". It is the one design that I liked the most and was planning on refining in order to make it more animation friendly during the clean-up process.

Her wardrobe was inspired by the wardrobe of the angel Gabriel in the movie Constantine. SPOILER ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN THE MOVIE!!!!!!!

...

Ok, hopefully whoever hasn't seen the movie isn't reading this. I really really REALLY liked how they put Gabriel in the garb of a mental patient with multiple identification tags, each listing the seven deadly sins on one arm and ugh, I can't remember what they are called, it's the opposite of the sins though, of that I am certain. But I just loved that entire idea of just being able to show how far off Gabriel had gone and how twisted the outfit was in general. It wasn't a traditional set of mental patient clothes but more like a pile of them Gabriel pulled out and decided to mix and match and in some cases sew together.

Well, that's all for now. I'm going to go ahead and try to get some sleep at least, hopefully wake up at a moderately decent hour in order to clean the apartment further and commence my day of running around like a chicken with its head cut off (much more amusing saying when my Abuela [grandmother] says it in spanish).

Cheers.

Hey There...

So yea... Hi.

Haven't posted on here in near a year, honestly because I almost never have anything of interest to really say. I'm going to try and post some artwork on here at least once a week and actually get back into the swing of drawing and animating since I haven't done so since the end of my Thesis year. I managed to graduate, have the photocopy of my diploma hanging on my wall over my bed (my mom has the original).

Well, here's the first of (hopefully) many other artworks to be posted. I'm gonna cheat a little bit here and post something I did a while ago but never circulated around the interwebs. This was a character illustration from my Pitch Book from 4th year at SVA. Enjoy I guess.

(Pardon the horrible pixelization of the image ><;)

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Sooooooooo, I went to see Scott Pilgrim vs. the World the other day. I have never left a movie theatre as hyper and jittery after watching a film of sheer EPICNESS since god knows when. Actually, since The Dark Knight. So, a good LONG while ago.

From when the movie began to its wonderful ending I was filled with sheer joy and love in my heart. My friends were scared. At least the ones that know me anyway. Which happen to be in another state. And another island. Yeaaaaaaaaah...

ANYWAY!

It was brilliant. I highly recommend it to all. And Im going to get started on reading the comics as soon as I have enough money to actually get them heh.

ALSO!

I'm going to try really really REALLY hard to post up artwork on here and re-work this blog site a bit more so it can be viewed by potential employers *waves to potential employers*

Anyway, that's it for now.

Later.
