GET THIS @#$! TOGETHER

So.

I had pretty much given up on this. Apparently, I CAN still do it though. So, I'm doing it. Pulling this together. I'm printing what pieces I have and having them bound. I got my paper work and presentation rescheduled.

Let's do this.

And be done.

Weekly Review of DOOM.

How much time did you spend on your project?
10 on coloring.

What did you do for hands-on?
Digital Coloring. Water color texturing.

What Research did you do? 
None.

Did you meet with your mentor? What did you talk about?
Yeah, she is suggesting it would be better and more time conscious to print the book out at Kinko's  or something and put it together myself rather than Order it from Lulu. Possibly a good idea.

Were you in class this week?
No. Supposed to write a short thingy though.

What do you think your fulfillment of WISE requirements was?
Going through the muck. Muck it out.

What are your plans for next week? 
Almost done. Complete images and format them.

Water Color Texturing

There is this wonder thing called water colors. They make coloring REALLY easy. And I'm not using them to color my pieces. Do you know why? because Digital Coloring is much easier. But that does not stop me from doing water color texturing.

Basically, I am bored with the non-textured backgrounds of Digital art, and so I have spent a couple days making interesting patterns with water colors, scanned them in, and use them in various places in ze finished images.

Here are some examples.

Admittedly, mine aren't nearly as wispy and un-solid-like.

Using for various backgrounds. Super.

Done with the Special Twelve

So, twelve pieces done.
I'll add the picture once I have access to them. I forgot to add them to my Flash drive....but they're there!
But alas, I still must go and be a machine and just keep popping them out. Sketches are ready to start inking once I get the paper ready today. Need to cut it to the right size. The nib tip for my inking pen is getting crusty as well....should probably replace it. Or learn how to clean it properly. The repeated layering of the ink onto it is making it impossible to use the ink properly and efficiently. The coloring process is down and made easy, I might go back and adjust things before the final product though...
