Some stuff

This semester (as usual) is out to get me.  Bless whomever's in charge that this will be the last one.  All griping aside though, I have a couple of new paintings to show for it (I'm already glaring at Brazil, but Marlfox is still ok in my book).

But now there's only one month left, so what have I got up my sleeve?  Good question.  There's some projects that are trailing along to be completed soon-ish, a couple new things to be started, and some stuff I'm really ridiculously excited for that I won't get an opportunity to work on until after school.

In progress is lots of ceramics work, which I won't have pictures of until after graduation.  Also in progress is my other sculpture work for the semester:

Apparently I really really need a fantasy creature's taxidermy head attached to the wall of wherever I'll be moving to.  He's a good bit farther along than this right now (hoping to start his concrete mold on Monday), and he's been my fun salvation this semester.

On the 'to be started' front, there will be one more painting for my Advanced Styles and Concepts class (looking to illustrate a fairy tale) and a second short story for my writing fiction class.  Which I plan on converting into a web comic as long as I'm happy enough with it once I've completed writing it.  Sci-fi is all I'll say for now, but hopefully I'll be able to digitally play with some character and environment concepts so my head will be in the right place post-graduation.

Heavens above...

Blogger, I certainly did not mean to abandon you for so long there.  I apologize.  But I do have a fab excuse this time.
This semester has obliterated my chances at producing finished work up until this point in time.  Two months into my last semester... that is far less than promising but I am moving as relentlessly as I can toward accomplishing some work whether my classes like that or not.  Next weekend should produce at least one completed something.

But, in the meantime, have a medley of stuff I've done in the past couple months.

Sculpture

Up until recently, sculpture has (unfortunately) been on the artistic back-burner.  However, with new personal choices and much more free time it's come back to the forefront of things that I enjoy.  I'm hoping to keep up with a much more productive schedule this summer and next school year when it comes to 3d illustration, and honestly I don't think it's going to be much of an issue.  

I did do a decent little blip of sculpture work this past school year but I didn't have the time to take pictures before I left CBus and I didn't have room to bring them back home with me.  The last sculpt I did was a little orc bust that turned out pretty well in my opinion and once I get back to school in a few months I will get pictures of him and previous projects posted.  In the mean time though I just finished another bust of an anthro-ferret dude.  A bit Redwall inspired he was a lot of fun to work on and I'm excited to do more busts in the upcoming weeks.  He also has a removable hat because he's just that cool.
