glasses

Some basic color work using the Mario design from earlier, also used it to practice Photoshop tools to place it on a stock image of a shirt to give it more realistic depth. I

'm not using this for commercial use by the way since its copyrighted material, i'm just simply practicing.

In my quest to get a game design internship at Microsoft soon, I have begun to teach myself the basics of the 3D modeling program Maya. The pictures below were created with basic shapes and effects, and it consists of a room with a window with a large moon outside, and a holographic projector showing some planets, as well as textures on the walls and floor and some architectural interest with slanted pillars.

Mustachioed Mario

Practice line work to get back into the mood of using illustrator. Seeing those mustache sunglasses everywhere lately got me thinking about using them in a design somewhere, so I thought, "why not Mario?" Hopefully I'll have color and textures on it soon.

what are we doing?

So lately I've just been practicing painting in Photoshop, I'm still not that great at it, but i'll keep working on it. I have posted 2 pictures, one is what I've currently filled in, and the other is what the lines look like. And yes, it is from Sherlock 2 if you were wondering, from my favorite seen on the train. I'm still not the best at painting skin either, so I can't say I'm super happy with it right now. Another big issue is his lips....I just can't seem to get them right at the moment.

Wizard

I'm going to call this a final for now, even though I'm not too crazy about the color choices I made for the background and stuff. This was mostly just supposed to be a practice of painting skin color, and then turned into clothes and hair as well...

I needed to Vent....

*DISCLAIMER:Everything below is my personal view on things that is fueled by something that is happening in my life right now, please do not take anything offensively as it's really just me venting at 12:00 A.M*

Things don't always work the way we would like them too. Life is full of things that can happen at a moments notice. It doesn't matter that it may be good or bad, it's not set in stone. You can turn a bad situation into a good one and vice versa. Now, that's just my logic and philosophy in life and people have always told me that I'm more mature than the average person my age. Despite that I feel that everyone can benefit from this. I'm mostly saying this right now to vent my feeling of something going on in my life right now. I'm personally tired of people not being able to fix their problems themselves sometimes, I don't mind if you need my advice, but I'm tired of refereeing fights between people, that doesn't mean I'll stop though. I just wish people would think of others in situations instead of just themselves, it makes no sense to me why you wouldn't. It's ok if things don't work out, if someone rejects you or something that you've done, if you fail at something. The world won't end if that happens you grow as a person depending on your actions. It's the way of humans to make mistakes and grow from them not digress. Things are going to be tough, but all you can do is go forward. Life is a race, and do you want to run from the race? Or are you going to run toward it? I choose to run at life and whatever it could possibly throw at me; it's the goal of many people, spirits, the devil, whatever you believe to be a negative force in your life, to try to make you believe that you can't succeed in anything. All I can say to you is that it's your choice weather you let that happen or choose to move forward in your life. I've been to rock bottom, it's a scary thing, but don't let it control you. To take a quote from one of my favorite movies, "It's not who you are, but what you do that defines you." And also another quote that has meant a lot to me, "You gain strength, courage and, confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face"-Eleanor Roosevelt
