Well Here Goes Nothin'!

I just sent in my applications for a few of Blizzard's 2010 summer internships, I am already expecting many rejection emails. >.< But, what I keep telling myself is, "At least you applied Lindsay!" I'm trying to have confidence, but I mean c'mon it's Blizzard for goodness sake!!

What's a bit ironic about the whole thing is that I didn't really apply for any art internships, I applied for the technical artist internship and that's it, but I couldn't really finish any drawings or concept pieces before the deadline. Submitting a WIP is just a big no no :P and all of my old crap is just plain unacceptable, haha. There is always next year though!

What's kinda cool is that I applied for the game tester position and got to write up a game analysis on my current favorite game, Mass Effect 2! I've analyzed games before, in my head, but never in a strict format. It was SO fun! I wish all my essays for art history could be about game analyses. :P I'm not quite sure what format, or how long, Blizzard wanted the analysis to be but mine turned out to be about 2 1/2 pages in the end.

Now I'm in internship application mode!! I'm excited to apply for the other companies that are on my "list" for internships I want this summer. I even have them prioritized according to how badly I want them and how close the deadline is. Next up is Riot Games, I would LOVE to intern there! League of Legends was a great beta to participate in and they just seem like a great group of people.

Anywhobers, I'm off to sleep and go through a few weeks of panic before I receive info (or lack there of) from Blizzard.

Goodbye scatterbrainArts!

So, I've decided to cancel my domain name and subscription for my portfolio website. I never really updated it after I finished it and I don't think it's worth paying for. The website will remain up until my subscription ends, but it will just have a link to this blog. :P

Instead, I have decided to make use of the free portfolio websites that deviantArt provides. You can take a look at mine here. I don't have much up and, who knows, I might not even really use this as a professional online portfolio.

Testing 1, 2, 3

Linking my blog to Facebook now so the family and see animating updates if they wish :)

Oh and I wont have to tell Nate the URL anymore ;)

This is a test post to see if it works >.>

Art Major...

To be or not to be? That most certainly is the question that's been plaguing my mind for a while now. I just spent over an hour staring at the BFA requirements and I have no idea what to do.

I just don't know if I'm good enough :-/ I've always been so insecure about my abilities as an artist.

But enough of my blabbering and blubbering, I guess I just needed a mini outlet for my frustration.

Lab Aiding and Animating!

So I'm lab aiding it up right now on this...lovely Friday and I was going to post my new animations from class, but I forgot how to export it as a QuickTime video >.< whoops! And now that I take another look at it, the animation could look a lot better anyways so I'll try to fix that up and post it soon.

Anywho, I'm working on some graphic design stuff for my 3D game programming class (for the menu screens and such) so I might post that if I think it looks ok haha, and it'll be up on my main website as well!

Alright I'm off to the world of Photoshop!! *whoooosh*

Bobpants Spongesquare!

Ok I couldn't think of a real title for today's blog, so I made it Spongebob Squarepants' fake name for when he was being chased by that dude who was going to kick his butt...

Yeah, I'm a Spongebob fan...can you tell?

Anywho, I got into 3D Animation (yay!) and I'll be using this blog for it a lot this term, or so my predictions tell me. All of my classes are going pretty well so far, I'll just have a lot of homework over the weekends...

At least most of it will be drawing! :)

Dang I really wish I knew how to edit the layout of the blog better, oh well! I'll figure it out someday I'm sure.

And I realize this post was kinda pointless...but I guess it doesn't matter much to the possibly one other person who reads this O.o

Spring '09: The Beginning

Yay I made it through the first day of classes for Spring Term!

Ok, so it wasn't too difficult considering I ended up liking all of my classes, but there aren't any breaks between my classes or work so I considered it a mild accomplishment for the first day. :P

I'm really excited for my Drawing class, I want to strengthen my drawing skills a lot! And I want to actually post some new traditional work on my website, so that will be beneficial as well.

Still haven't heard about whether or not I'll be able to get into the 3D animation class, but I'm just going to show up tomorrow for the first day and see what happens!

I really need to go clean my room now...lol

On A Rainy Monday

So far spring break is turning out to be pretty relaxing, which is what I was hoping for in the first place!

Yesterday I used a couple of my gift cards to BestBuy in order to purchase a slew of Kevin Smith films. I got Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma. I find Kevin Smith's work to be incredibly entertaining and there's always some insightful dialogue as well.

I also went to Borders and got the first volume of "Flight", a compilation of short comics created by various artists all devoted to the theme of flying. What I loved the most about it was the varying styles of the artists and how they interpreted the theme through their comics. They're all super unique and the skill of each artist is incredible!

In addition to this I picked up Tim Burton's "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy: And Other Stories" which is a great little book of poems. Each poem is both mildly depressing and hilarious at the same time. Each poem also includes a sketch by Tim Burton.

Well I'm off to watch Dogma and possibly eat a sandwich... :P

Sweet Deal!

Alright, customizing = done! I added a twitter widget too, just in case anyone would be interested in that...

I'm a little worried I'm over-using my color palette between this, my website, and twitter...but on the other hand it keeps everything consistent. But, if anyone has any input, let me know!

Wow two posts in one night and I haven't even told anyone about this yet -_-

First Post!

Wow, I have really started to get into the blogging and micro-blogging community lately. First a twitter account and now a full fledged blog!

Okay, I've had blogs in the past but they never usually worked out. Hopefully this one will be different!

I guess this will be the more personalized version of my website, scatterbrainArts, for friends and family who want to know more than just a simple website update. I'll post some of my website updates here, but if you want a real look at my artistic work then please head over to sA!

That's it for now! I'm going to start customizing! ;)
