Happy 2013 (crunch time is upon us)

Hi all of you fellow beings out in this great world... hope you are entering the new year healthy and happy! i know i haven't been updating, but i easily forget that people actually care if i say anything or not. so i thought, hey what the heck. It's not like i will do this all the time (add more than art to these posts) but I can at least do this every once in a while.

so first here is some art...

Here's a drawing I did of myself. don't feel like I've done one in a while.

I've really been practicing on my drawing skills, and feel like it's really paid off!

And here is an exploration drawing of Ortha. It's been a a long and frustrating road, but i feel like it's going in a good direction.

I'm just going to use the story of Ortha as a learning experience. I'm not going to try to strive for any accolades, or awards with this film (which I know everyone, including myself normally wants to strive for) but, I don't want to have that mind set with this this year. I want to finish this film, and make it the best that I can make it.

I'm a student trying to learn, and that's what I'm going to do. I'm not going to make a perfect story, I'm not going to have the best backgrounds, or character designs, or animation. but i'm going to put myself out there and do what I feel works for me as I keep testing and pushing myself....

Sorry for the left professing tangent... just really wanted to say that to the world, and to myself 

OUT LOUD!

Thank you for being a friend.

Happy Birthday JESUS

So for this Christmas, I wanted to make something that reflected what I thought about this special holiday. I always wonder why so many people celebrate Christmas, without recognizing that it's CHRIST-mas. Even though historically, December 25th isn't the actual day of Jesus's birth, it's a time to recognize that he was born and to celebrate his coming into the world, and eventual atonement for it.

I have been really thinking about how I need to give him more of the glory in my art and in my life, and that's how I want to start off this new year. I want to give Jesus all the glory and the honor and praise for giving me everything that i have; for the shirt on my back, the food in my belly, the pencil and paper (wacom tablet and computer) that i have, and the people that I love, and don't "love". Thank you Lord for being born, and allowing me to be reborn. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
