Oh hey there's still power on my campus. *knocks on wood*

I think I took somewhere between 1 to 2 hours to detail in the background. Up next will be the creature and possibly the child as well, if not then child and the ball will be a separate layer.

Round 2 of sketches for storyboard/animatic for Games course (part 2)

Round 2 of sketches for storyboard/animatic for Games course

12: 46 am EST

I should be sleeping honestly, since I haven't gotten my usual amount of sleep the past 2 days.

I'll stop my working process at the moment with the animatic sketches (second round) I need to get done for my Games I course final.

Sketches so far:





A note to myself, I need to use the brush size 3 rather than brush size 5. It helps when I want to draw in the light shadows.

Indecision and too many ideas...

I can't decide if I want to sketch out people (characters from movies or games) or to start sketching out some concept art.
The sketches of people would help build up my studies in terms of the human face,anatomy,etc.

Oh I need to draw out the 2nd draft of the stuff for the animatics for my Games I course.

I've entered my entry into the CGChallenge (CGSociety)

I've mentioned about the challenge a few days ago, but for those who didn't see the post, the challenge was to incorporate the number 10 either literally or symbolically in some way.

10 colors of autumn sketch

4:55pm EST



Initial rough sketch as I tried to figure out layout. I apologize for the odd blank spaces; this was due to changing the canvas size after having done the first sketch. 

Rough sketch version 2.

There is another "Lillian Chen"...

I am debating if I should rename my blog address to "lillianlilychenartworks " .... but I'm unsure if I want to since that would require me to buy a site redirect.



I may keep it as is, I just hope no one will get confused.  I did update my tagline but I hope that won't confused people either, especially in terms of remembering my url.

Twitter connection

I've connected this blog to my Twitter - LillianLilyChen so posts from here will show up (...somehow; I apologize, I don't use Twitter so I'm fairly new at it).

More social media pages of mine~

I've decided, after getting some advice from a friend, to make a twitter page.
The twitter page is  https://twitter.com/LillianLilyChen .
It'll be mainly re posts (tweets) of what I post on my facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/FlamesofFireLily

CGChallenge - I might accept the challenge!

link to the challenge : Challenge #10
