The recent week

I just looked out the window to see how sunny it was and a bird just made an awkward back flip. I think the wind disrupted it’s supposedly epic flight maneuvers. I felt sort of embarrassed for it, looked away for half a second, and then looked back. It seemed to pretend nothing happened and flew away like normal. Nature is quirky here and there! At any rate, I haven’t updated this journal in a while and took photos of things that have been happening in this tiny workshop / bedroom / study room / game room / entertainment house of mine. But first things first! I got a gift certificate for presenting my game to prospective transfer students during Engineering Week in Baskin a couple months back. It was only $25 at the bookstore, so it wasn’t enough to buy a dry textbook for next quarter. I browsed the store for more than 5 hours before I found what I wanted to buy.

Ribbon

Ribbon! They cost $5.95 each! They are something I normally would not purchase for myself because they are expensive. Yuck. But I couldn’t resist the dashed pattern. If each roll didn’t come with the dashed design, I probably wouldn’t of bought them! I made a light box the other week as well. I needed a better place to take photos of the charms and jewelry I was making. I went into the box filled garage, grabbed one, started chopping it up with my exacto knife, and taped tissue paper to the sides. This is what it looks like with the ribbon stuck in the inside. I don’t have any other lamps to work with the light box, so no laughing! Below the light box are other examples of photos inside it. The first is of an apple I took from Hindquarter Bar & Grille. We ate there this week for Brian’s birthday. The second is of a Donald Duck candy holder I got from Tryton last Christmas.

Lastly, Tryton’s mom asked me to draw her something ages ago and I haven’t found the motivation to draw something nice. Earlier this month I drew a fairy in a flower and then it changed to a girl standing in an animal floating devise consisting of a shark, seal, fish, bird, and dolphin. Below are photos of it during my process of slowly finishing it. And of course, Tryton wanted me to use the Prismacolor markers he bought me to do the job. I’m really bad at using them effectively, so bare with me! Click the thumbnails to enlarge.

I was supposed to start a felt project today, but I ended up doing laundry and this instead. Maybe I should start now!

It’s the end of Winter

Winter quarter is nearing its end… that is. I’m going home for the first time since summer last year in a couple of weeks. Finals is actually next week. I am so done with this quarter! Try to stay away from taking three CS classes at a time. There’s a lot to learn and so little time to do anything. I’ve even had no time to sew my precious plushies this quarter. It was terrible!

Tryton told me to post something since I haven’t updated in a long time. So what have I been up to? The most exciting thing is probably this game I’m working on, though the original plan changed since we first started. Here’s some example artwork I drew if anyone (out there) is interested. I’m coding it in C#/XNA for my computer game design class. We had less than a quarter to toy around with it and that’s not nearly enough time to get many things done! Unfortunately it’s due tomorrow morning…

Some sprites, concepts, and other junk: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

And then a super tangent of other drawings! Such as Penguin and Penguin and raining PEAS.

Oh Noes

I lost my stylus for my tablet, which means I can’t draw, which means no doodling or wasting time, which means my life is 30% over, which means I am going to die from boredom the rest of the summer! Help me! I know it’s in Xer’s room somewhere… that is unless Geng took it out of the shoe box and ran off with it, just like my DS games and the DS itself. Jerk! What am I supposed to do? Buy a new one? Who does that? Gah.

Uhh, I am supposed to go to Target with Xer to get some school supplies or something today, but I don’t know when that’s supposed to be. I don’t know why we’re not going to Staples for that, but oh well. I am also going to deposit my check this week! My plans are improving because I have some now.

Anyways, I feel a need for a picture of some kind. This is a sample of the layout I was going to use for this site half a year ago but I never got around to adding content to the code. I ditched the project because it was too small for my likes and was not flexible for many things. I should transform it to suit something else.
