Before, I was taking 15 credit hours, so I dropped the class I was doing the worst in to free up some of my time, and save some gas (that being 3D Modeling & Rendering II; I was a whole project behind.) So that freed up a little tension, and I'm back on track.

3D Animation class is going to prove challenging with our upcoming project. Not having the program to mess around with at home, I'm finding it slightly difficult to retain the wealth of information necessary to perform even basic tasks. I'll find a way to make it work, but it makes me nervous. Practice makes perfect, right?

My Digital Imaging class is provoking some profound thoughts in their lectures...this is more attributed to the professor of the class, Jay Schuh, than it is in our photoshop assignments of course, but it's really healthy for me. My notes are crowded with wisdom, and my homework is stacking up like crazy (in fact, I should PROBABLY start knocking out one of the numerous assignments for that class when I get done here.)

I got Schuh for History of Animation class as well, and I have yet to solidify what exactly my stop motion animation short will be about; it's all been vague ideas, and I need to decide on something and put it on paper. Luckily, I have time...but I won't for much longer.

But my flash class...hoho. I'm three weeks ahead of schedule, and the Nike ad from my last news blog received an A+. While my classmates are conceptualizing and storyboarding what their character animation is going to look like, I'm thirteen seconds into animating mine. I intend to visit the lab as often as possible to knock this thing out; the sooner I get it done, the sooner I can submit it to the portal.

The goal is for my caveman animation to rake in my first Daily 1st solo submission...I would laugh out loud if some NG big-shot submits something incredible on the same day I submit. Ten bucks says it would be something fifteen seconds long from Cyanide & Happiness.

I got some buffer time from the looks of things in the Lady Noir collaboration, so I can focus on Photoshop homework and getting to work on this stop-motion animation project. I'm kind-of liking the new level icon, so I care less about voting daily now.

Film at Eleven!

(This was knocked out as a quick homework assignment. The assignment was to draw a robot in photoshop utilizing the shape method; starting with basic shapes, and fleshing them out. Do you think it's Art Portal worthy, or just a decent experiment?)
