Wow, it's been almost a year since I last posted on deviant art. I have just posted some art work that I did at school. It came out of an independent study since all of my require classes are programming classes, this was the only way I could get an art course in! :P My professor gave me free creative reign on this. I wanted to expressive a variety of emotions through shapes and abstract images. I really went and focus on the use of color and color combination to really invoke an emotional response to the viewer. From the final critique, I had success in some but not in others. The negative emotions were the most difficult ones for me to execute fully since I'm not really a negative Nancy. >_< But this was a good learning experience and for me to keep my artistic skills in check. I do not want to get rusty because I have to program numbers!!

I got one more year of school left before I graduate and become a real adult. But after I graduate, I hope to study abroad in Japan and really immerse myself in the culture and language. I have already completed a year of Japanese and got one more year of it before I complete my minor in it. I continue to wish Japan a full recovery from their current situation. Hopefully next year they will be stronger than ever!! I am also looking at Grad school if I do not get a job (since getting one in the Game Industry is extremely difficult). But these are things to think about in the years ahead. I have quite a few essays to write before the deadline. *sigh. Life's moving too fast but I must meet it.

I have been reading the first 4 books of "A Song of Ice and Fire" (I have just finished the 4th book) by George R.R. Martin. His creativity is just astounding. I just can't believe of how fully realized the world he has created fill with royal families (and the uncles, aunts, cousins, wards, septons, etc.) I have trouble memorizing all the various Japanese words but here there are 7 families with all those things and people across the sea too! However, I was glad that HBO did the "Game of Thrones" which introduced me to this wonderful series. I will get to "The Dance of Dragons" once school starts. Can't wait to see the final chapters though! (I really want Cersei killed but Ser Martin have thrown tons of curve ball so we shall see). Summer is over and my internship too. School is right around the corner and I need to prepare. I hope to continue to draw, paint, or do any artistic things that artist do! :D

Motivation

I am trying very hard to motivate myself to use deviantart more as this place is where I can host my art work. Especially when I am already half way through my college career, I will be looking for work. Other websites have size (memory) restrictions which makes hosting pictures more difficult. Deviantart really helps me to circumvent that limitation. I will be working more on improving my art as I am currently an artist on a game that my friend is working on. There is so many things that I need to improve on. I also need a new logo for this account as it is very outdated.

So school is going well so far. Working on artwork for an independently developed Role Playing Game. I'm hoping to develop my skills. I haven't really used deviant art to post any of my latest stuff. Mostly I have been lazy. I've just found out that :iconnicholaskole: nicholaskole is working at 38 Studios! That is amazing. I don't know if he remember me but he was my RA during the RISD summer program. His illustrations are awesome as always. Surprised me that he ended up in the game industry! At the last week of the RISD program I told him I wanted to be a video game artist, and right now I'm attending the end of my 2nd year at RIT majoring in Game Design. I hope we can meet up again someday. How have the hands of destiny have turned....

Today I uploaded some ink drawings from my sketchbook. Some of these are like 5-10 months old. I'm trying to update my deviantart page more often now since I have more time (now in college). I still need more art exploration and the improvement of my art skills. Hopefully this will translate into some beautiful game artwork. : ) I'm taking some maya 3D classes at the school of visual arts. So far I'm having a blast. Maya can get confusing sometimes but it does some amazing stuff if you know how to use it!

I have been a member on this site for awhile however, I haven't really put up a lot of deviations on my profile. Sorry for having such an empty website. Well now I put my my AP Concentration Pieces, but soon I should upload my Breath and Quality Pieces but that might take a year lol. Well I hope you all enjoy all of my pieces. I'm not online that often so if you comment and I don't reply, it's not that I don't like you or I don't like complements it is that I do not go online that often. Not really "addicted" to it. Hope fully, when I go to college this year, I will have more time to focus on this website. Well, thanks for visiting and all the comments, Hope to see you soon : )
