Fail

So I definitely failed today during concept art. Tried to tighten up my environment drawings but that didn't work out too well. :-/

Only thing I got out of today was a couple of dragon sketches for the elemental dragon series I'd like to do at some point.

Water: This guy's supposed to have waterfalls flowing from his mouth, should probably change his eye color though.



Air: This one's supposed to be sleak and able to fly through the air efficiently.



This is one o' those days where I just feel like I have no future in this field. :[

Photography Assignment 2 Continued

I needed one more photo for my photography assignment, these were my two favorites from the mini-photoshoot with Other Nate.

The Modeling Continues

I put the chair together and made a table and a light bulb!

Oooooo! Ahhhhh!!

Isn't it scary? You don't want to be interrogated in this floating room! Nuh-uh! Wow I think I need some sleep or something.

Anywho, progress:





I started playing with the materials in the Hypershade editor (I think that's what it's called) and I was trying to make the light bulb a bit reflective. I mostly did it to start getting familiar with materials and I'm sure I'll be changing it later.

Mr. Mech Update

Worked on him a bit today.

Cylonesque

So instead of working on my environment for class (bad Lindsay!) I decided to bring in a sketch that I've had in my sketchbook for a while and play with it in Photoshop. Still currently a WIP, just like all the other digital paintings I have. -_-

Here are the progress shots:











So the last one is the image without the original sketch in the background. I can't decide whether or not to have his upper arm glow, I kind of like it because I think it breaks up the black and white. I think I'm just worried about overdoing the light/glow/thing. :P

Behold My Folding Chair of DOOM!

I couldn't think of a better title. :-/

Started modeling the interrogation chair, stand in it's almighty presence and weep!!!

The back fell off I guess...oops.

And pay no attention to the floating object. >.>

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.
