Here is a little something to get myself started on the right foot for the New Year to come...
I plan on focusing on being more in CREATIVE MODE (all the time!) for my New Years Resolution.
Whatever it takes... New 3D Modeling/Animations, New Painting, New Illustrations...
I want to get better at everything I do. NO Excuses!
1hr 15min. I know some parts are off but... Practice, Practice, Practice...

Camping Gallery
Well folks, here are the pics from my camping adventure a couple weeks ago. Basically its chronological order. It started off at the state park "Roper Lake" at the base of Mt. Graham Thurs. night, and then up the mountain to "Riggs Lake" Fri. then back down to "Roper Lake" Sat, due to the intense lightning going on that night on the mountain.
I still had a great time up there. The rest of the weekend was great as well. Good time visiting my brother and sisters. The photos at the end of the Show of the Jeep is my new ride. My brother, who now works in Flagstaff selling cars ran my info and hooked me up... For which I am very thankful... The explorer was on its way out, and I have been wanting to get a Jeep for a very long time. "WhooHOoo!!!"
I have started the semester teaching two 3D classes, which is great, I'll post more on that another time. All of this is going on was taking up alot of time, hence the delay in posting. :D
Well, more later... enjoy.

Something from the sketch book
Here I go, got a new sketch book and am going to work on doing some pencil/paper drawing, it has been to long and I miss the feel of it. It may look like crap now, but like I said... its been a while. Anyway, I'm going camping in two weeks for 4 days, and only taking the sketch book... Unplugged... haha... I'm really looking forward to it.
More to come. Take care.

Work in progress

It's been a while.
Well everyone, I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted last. To my surprise when I stumbled by my own blog, the date for the last post was way back in May. Well, I am not going to make any excuses... I have been working doing the teaching and when I have a free moment, I indulge in a good video game. I have been scratching away only a bit at the sketch book or modeling some 3D objects. And when I tell myself I need to get out the sketch book or open up a 3D file to finish, I instead without thinking, find myself clicking on that game icon to further my progress onto the next level. Gaming is my weakness, I admit it. Sure some may say just uninstall it so the temptation is not there, but I just can't do it. I need to learn that if I am going to spend 3 hours on a game then I need to spend 6 on some art work.
Any suggestions are welcome, excluding uninstall. :P
I would like to find the happy medium. I do have some art work that I will post this weekend, I have not been a complete slacker. :D

Teaching
I am teaching classes now for the summer term, I am teaching a 2D class that is a part two, where I am teaching the ink and paint software. The other class is a 3D class that is called Props, Sets, and Environments. Should be Lots-O-Fun.
Speed Painting Session 5
Well, its been a while since I posted, and its been a couple weeks since I did these paintings with Chatree. Other things have been going on in the background to make the time available for such things as these painting sessions hard to come by. But I plan on keeping it up as much as possible, as well as other projects going on.

Mermaid Finished (really this time)
Ok, This is really the final. I'm glad that I went back and changed it up a bit. I made the lights go the opposite direction as to not shadow the most of the features with the lighting going the other way. And fixed the shadows as well as thinned out the water fx. to have a bit more contrast.
And yes, Chatree... I fixed her boooobie (this time).
I'll be working on next is going to be a logo for this said friends boyfriends painting company, plus a few more misc paintings as well as finishing up some of the ones I started in previous posts, I also want to get started on the storyboards for a new animation that I want to get going on. We'll see how it goes.

Spent a Week Away
Well, it started Friday and ended today. I went to visit my sisters in Safford Arizona and had the chance to visit with a great friend that I had not seen in years, who was visiting from Texas. I managed to break away for a few hours and take some pictures of Roper Lake State Park that is in the neighborhood. It is a special place for me because my Dad used to work at the park as a volunteer. I miss the days. Here is a couple photos I took. I got trigger happy with the digital camera and took like 263 photos... I'll post new ones up once in a while. I had a great time.

Speed Paint 3 Update 2
Here is another 2 Hrs. put into it for a total of 4 Hrs. I think I have fixed the placements now and can continue with it. I am getting the hang of it now and feel like I a improving a great deal with this one. Thanks to Chatree who's been a really great at helping me. You can see his work at PaintATree, just click the link in the links menu.
Speed Paint 3 Update
I like working on this one, I wanted to keep going with it. So I put in another hour to fix it up and continue taking it farther. Total time so far is 2 Hrs. I think I would have been to this point in one hour had I not started off all wrong, I have been spending most of the time fixing it. But I learned from it, thats the important thing. I plan to work on this one until I finish it.
It is a great learning tool go off of someone else's work when first starting out.

Mermaid
Here is the other painting for my friend Amy, she is planning to get this and the dragon done as tattoo's... I decided to paint them both, mostly for fun, but also to use for the tattoo artist to use for reference if he/she chooses. This particular painting is not finished, I just wanted to post it at it's current point of progression.

Speed Painting Session 3
Well, Chatree surprised me with quite the challenge with this one, this particular painting session was quite fun, and I learned quite a lot of things I need to pay more attention to when I start... I was just so gung ho about doing this one that I didn't pay attention to where I was placing the elements, rather, I was just flinging the brush where ever throwing down the base colors as shown in the first 20 min image. During the break and reviewing it thats when I realized my error, and most of the 2nd round I worked to correct the placements, however, I messed up the tower a bit, Although it can easily be fixed with more time on it.
