The return of DeviantArt?
1 min read
I guess Twitter sucks (more) now, and people are returning to this place? I don't know, it's not like this place ever had the things that Twitter is removing. Maybe I'll start posting again. My audience here is about the same as on Twitter, which is not very much, probably.

Daily Deviation
1 min read
So a week ago Flower Girl got a Daily Deviation and my message box kind of exploded. I'm glad you all liked it! I'd like to thank Ihlosih for suggesting it and moonbeam13 for featuring it. I haven't gotten around to replying to any of the comments yet, but I'll be doing that soon. I've been pretty busy with my last full semester in school. I've got some assignments that I'm pretty excited about, so I'll be posting some unfinished/work in progress images to my Tumblr if anyone is interested.
So again, thanks for the +fav's, comments, and everything!

Almost finished with a short animation thing I am working on. A few frames need adjusted, and then it's just sounds after that. Could still be a few days or a week at this point, with the end of the semester wrapping up and all the internship application deadlines coming up at the same time.

Semester's End
2 min read
Another semester over in my career as a student. A lot of things happened, and I learned quite a bit. I worked on a couple of shorts for a professor to pitch to PBS, I made a short comic for a student anthology book titled Reality Not Included (which I'll start posting once I've got access to computer with Photoshop), I went to CTN, and took on 14 credit hours with projects that I'll post once I've gotten a chance to polish them to my liking.
CTN was a fun and informative experience with a lot of cool opportunities. I got to see Rise of the Guardians at Dreamworks and Wreck-it Ralph at Disney, attend panels given by experienced people in the industry, and show my reel to representatives at Disney's booth of the expo floor, thanks to a friend who lent me his MacBook to do so. It was also a bit of a wake-up call. For one, using a USB-drive to hold my portfolio was a terrible idea since those reviewing my portfolio to have a computer to bring it up on (being my first CTN, I didn't know what to expect so a lot was done last-minute). I also realized that I need to devote more time towards my focus than just working on a wider variety of areas in animation. I don't have much of an interest in shader programming, and my work in that class wasn't all that great and it ate into time for projects in other classes that I wanted to put more effort into. I also should have taken the animation track for the 3d Animation class instead of taking the modeling and rigging track.
The lack of a portable computer issue has been resolved, at least. I've ordered a Samsung ATIV 700t, a Windows 8 tablet powerful enough to run Photoshop and Toon Boom, and has a Wacom tablet sensor for pressure-sensitive pen input along with regular touch input. It will be especially useful these next few weeks as I am home for the holidays and don't have access to my desktop PC.

Back in Utah. Finally have a wi-fi card in my computer. Just at the start of the second week in the semester, and I already have 8 projects going on at the same time.
