Year of the Snake - work in progress
12:56 pm EST
(Ah.. it's freezing cold.)
I was working on this earlier yesterday for around 3 hours before my evening class. I still need to add in details like clothing patterns, textures, shading and figuring out what sort of background I'd want to do.
Something simple? Something elaborate?
I also have to fix the anatomy... that leg doesn't look right.

After brainstorming Thurs before my class and then finally getting a chance to work on finalizing the brainstorm and coloring the piece, this is all I was able to get done yesterday. (Roughly 6 hrs.)
Then for today, before my classes, I was able to finish Jarvan in the hour I had before class started.Now, I'm about to start painting in Teemo.

Lady Ribbon and Chief Chase concept art - making correction
3:01 pm EST
Back to drawing once again, after sleep, breakfast, Saturday morning cartoons (DC Nation) and lunch.
According to my parents, I have bags under my eyes now... This isn't good but it makes sense since I've been waking up randomly before my alarms are suppose to wake me up so I'm not exactly the full 8-9 hours of sleep I usually try to give myself.
Anyways, I digress. Switching up the artworks, I gave myself the goal of correcting little things in the concept art I finished for my senior thesis project. At the very moment I'm typing this post, I'm also trying to figure out why Photoshop won't let me save a JPEG.
"Could not complete your request because of of a program error." I even reinstalled Photoshop using the wizard to repair. I suppose a restart of my computer is needed. Or there could be other reasons such as me uninstalling the Adobe Updater. Or my Photoshop CS2 needs the 9.0.2 update.
I think I may have to just reinstall Photoshop all together. It'll be a bit annoying reloading all the brushes and swatches but it'll just have to do, hopefully.

After reinstalling, restarting computer and then testing with a different PSD file, I found out it's actually the PSD file and not Photoshop. At least I hope.
4:31 pm EST
Still struggling with the old PSD file, I was at least able to copy merge the image and paste it into a new file and save that as a JPEG. However this isn't the end of my worries since the old PSD file still won't let me save as JPEG and I have 5 more of those old PSD files I need to convert...
Actually, maybe it'll be less stressful if I just copy the image and paste it in a new file and say that image as a JPEG. Hopefully this error only came up because these PSD files were from when I used Elements and won't happen for CS2 files.
The edits were minor, such as recoloring of the lips for Lady Ribbon and color balancing both images.

Concept Art for Games class - birds, squirrels bat Oh My.
10:19 PM EST
Wow, my brain feels "brain-dead". I spend most of the afternoon (after 3p) until now just sketching up all these concept art sketches, using Google Images as references. I did take a few breaks, one for dinner but it's definitely taken a toll as I'm half tired and half "brain dead". I need to take a break from drawing, perhaps move onto reading two chapters for a class.

Concept Art for Games Class - Hawk
For one of my classes this semester, we're actually making games. (Last semester, it was the planning stages mostly.) I realized a few days ago, that I never actually drew the concept art for the main character and enemies...
and especially this semester, we need those concept art images for the sake of modeling!
An "oops" on my part but thankfully I still have time to get all the images done. Goal? Before we meet again next class, so that gives me a week; it should be do-able.
I believe the images I have to do are:
- Giant Bat - final boss
- Giant Bear - potential level boss
- Flying squirrel + regular squirrel
- Birds; include hummingbirds (those found in forests so owls?)
- rabbits
- ...?
