I went missing. Trying to get back on here. So much happened in my life!

I discovered this place called Udemy.com where you can buy courses for as low as $10 when they're on sale! And a good amount are free!! Right now, I'm learning about the freelancing, Unity game engine and how to effectively get into the game industry as a character artist. Yes, I'm a freelancer that wants a job at a studio, too XD

Speaking of courses, I just wrapped up this character artist course from UArtsy/ Game Art Institute. Amazing in every way! I got to learn about anatomy and what sets your work apart from others. In addition, this course was heavy on ZBrush, Marvelous Designer, Maya, Substance Painter, and Marmoset Toolbag. And you get to put everything you learn into a game character. I'll upload images soon-ish.

Also, and this is for those who have seen my personal life bleed into these journals, I got engaged a few weeks back :D!! Amazing person, he is one of the sweetest and smartest people I know.  We were friends for like 12 years before we started dating. Many thanks to HotaruShidosha for  getting us to meet in high school. He still remembers that time I dropped something off at her house and that was it for him. :aww:


And as always, you can catch me at that other places:

Thanks and see you guys later!

2 MONTHS....

6 min read


It's been 2 months since I appeared here D: !! I swear to God, my day job messes with my school/art/life schedule (but it does pay the bills...barely..)

I'M AVAILABLE FOR HIRE!!!  d(=^・ω・^=)b


So for those of y'all who know, I'm a student over at UARTSY - fantastic place with really great people! They're located in Maker City, in Los Angeles, California. The classes are all online. Right now I'm in a ZBrush certification course (Pixologic released the update in the middle of my 1st cert class, so I technically know both 4R6 and 4R7), another ZBrush class that's more indepth (missed yesterday's lecture b/c of BS in my life...missed the Gundam stuff but they record and post so I'm gonna wait for that :D) a lighting & form class (b/c I really can't light). Yeah...that's just school.

And speaking of school, here are some of my homework assignments:

This one is me playing w/ ZModeler (huge feature for 4R7 and waaaay easier/funner to use over panel loops). Did this like a week after the huge upgrade.


Organic head sculpting (WIP) that can be used in any version.


Focused on nanomesh for the suckers on the tentacles and fibermesh for the had (the lighting sucks I know D:). Nanomesh is another new feature. Makes modeling repetative forms much easier.



So that's just some of my homework assignments. Wanted to share with everyone O(≧∇≦)O

--------

Also, working on my short 3D feature called AKUMA. Main characters are already designed. I'll probably post them soon.

---

Until next time o(´∀`*)

I HATE WINTER

3 min read


I also hate deviantArt's roll-over feature! I wrote out the entire journal and lost it when I meandered too close up from the Sta.shWriter UI, rolled over "More" and thinking I was trying to Bold something, ended up diverting from this page :cries:

So here's what's happening....


Posts
- gonna do more....:iconhotarushidosha: keeps yelling at me to do so...A lot of posting is done on my Twitter page.

ZBrush
- in a certification course by UARTSY, a school in Los Angeles. It's usually in the 70s and sunny. The Jersey Shore is frozen. Will post some actual 'good and not just homework' pieces soon hopefully! This is in addition to working in a school for 35 hours/week. Amazing people !!

CUBEBRUSH
- another amazing place to learn more about art (the creator :iconmarcbrunet: is also amazing! And he's the reason why I have a Cintiq Companion...and fun fact, we have the same birthday XD )


Monty Oum
- RIP. You were a great inspiration to me. It's time to leave that job (because it's really just a job) and go back in to the art industry, looking at 3D this time.

CircusMonster
- gonna post old and new works soon


This journal entry was soooo abridged.

Got tagged by my adorable friend :iconhotarushidosha:



1.) You must post these rules
2.) Answer the ten questions the person who tagged you made and make up your own 10 questions for the people you tag to answer.
3.) Choose ten people and put their icons on this journal
4.) Go to their pages and inform they that they have been TAGGED!5.) Not something stupid like 'you are tagged you read this.'
6.) You have to legitimately tag 10 people
7.) No tag-backs.
8.) Can't say, no tags




1. If you were given one wish, what would it be?
No, tricky genie. I need to get my lawyer to find any loopholes before I make a wish.

2. What is your favorite season?
Fall -  I like the golden leaves and pumpkin in all the food ^^!!

3. What is your dream job?
Omg, Character Creator for a video game company!!! :D

4. How many OCs do you have, and which is your most developed?
Wow, I got way too many.....maybe...70ish? More? IDK....
Not sure which one would be the most developed since I keep changing their backgrounds, looks, personalities (:iconhotarushidosha: would know xD) Buuuuut if I had to pick just one, it would be this one character I made back in High School. He was a older gentleman in his late 60s/early 70s that ruled his nation with love and understanding and good intentions. He was bald, wore a Captin' Hook-type mustache, white hair, brown eyes and wore like traditional French royalty clothing. *Quite* a few revisions later, he's now in his mid-late 40s, dusty blonde-hair, lime-green eyes, tanned w/ awesome abs, was unable to kill himself w/ his excessive drugs/alcohol use or tons of sex in his 20s but somehow still was able to keep his mind in tact. He's still a king - but forced into it and runs his nation like a business w/ a nontraditional business model, much like his tech company (he sleeps for like 2 hours)

5. What is your favorite food?
Coffee!!!
(I don't care that it's not food!!)

6. If you could choose which era to live in, which would it be?
Does post apocalyptic cyber wasteland count?

7. Do you have any siblings? If not, would you want some?
Not a fan of the 'blood' one I was given, so I would say :iconhotarushidosha: Kurai (his dA name is too freakin hard to remember D:) :iconquicksilverwitch: :icontekai001::iconluizperezart:

8. What is the worst job you ever had?
The ones I didn't get paid to do.

9. What is your favorite game?
Power Stone for Dreamcast (omg, using Z-depth before it's time?? That's innovation!!)

10. Red pill or blue pill?
Purple (hybridizing ftw!)



====

My questions:

1. What's your main alias?
2. What was your best vacation?
3. When did you start creating art?
4. Are you on other social media sites & which ones?
5. Who would you consider to be your mentor? (If this is too hard, which person's art work resonates deepest with you?)
6. What's your favorite anime/cartoon/show?
7. What medium do you perfer to use (2d digital painting? traditional sculpting?)
8. Do you remember your dreams?
9. What's the speed of dark?
10. Are you a good witch or a bad witch?




Who to taggggg???

Hey Everyone!

Omg, I totally need to stop going away Steph Banging Head by Magical-Icon

It's been a crazy few months for me. Work started back up. Apparently working 35 hours/week at a school is considered being a "part-timer"....yeah...I'm the assistant to the principal on paper, but I also am the onboard IT consultant, in-house graphic designer, the registrar, the nurse when kids have minor injuries, and HR.

Still looking for that job in a production house for games or animation~~ (finrggers crossed that someone will notice)

Personal life has been one massive mess after another. I really don't want to go into that atm....but many thanks to you HotaruShidosha, KuraiShidosha, QuickSilverWitch, Tekai001,and  LuizPerezArt for listening to me whine and rant.

OTHER STUFF

I do have a whole heap of other things I wanted to share, like my time attending AnimeUSA with my great friends and all the fantastic people and artists we met, some other artists and their stuff and how they influenced me to the point where I threw money at things, new social networking sites you can hang w/ me at, and stuffffff!! But honestly, it's almost 2am my time and I gotta go to bed so I can get up in a few hours. Also, my router is dying for some reason...my internet just went down like 3x while I was writing all of this! I can just hear :iconhotarushidosha: and :iconkuraishidosha: say "Omg, go to bed!" So I'm gonna do that!

Until next time! Momo Kisaragi (Big Smile) [V5] by Jerikuto
