Turning Back Time

2011-04-12T08:04:00.000-07:00

Livejournal, where my personal blog is, has somehow blocked my IP address. So now I bring to you SRZ Life Issues!

I've always wanted to go to art school and study fine art. It's the equivalent of wanting to live in a hugeass mansion, only better.

The biggest issue that stands in my way is my job. I swear, if the people I work with are all certified a**h***s, I would tender my resignation right away and head for it. However, that's not the case. I've found home working in my current company. Even if I am about to collapse from doing infinite rounds of amendments on a design, I am kept alive and laughing thanks to all the wonderful people I work alongside with. Plus, it all pays off with money and toys.

I had once worked in a company where I, as well as other employees before me, were treated like trash. It was a very short employment, but up till now, I have not forgotten how much it hurt. The odds of landing in a company like that are probably one in a hundred, but I'm not willing to go through any of that again. That is why I cannot just easily give up my current job to study in a field that is so questionable.

Perhaps, I would go for a diploma next year. This year, I'll be applying for a short night course in painting. That's all I can afford for now. Design school had been painfully expensive, it's best that I earn back a little more to cover for that before I attempt to pursue a proper education in Fine Arts.

It feels like I've not drawn for years.

It's gray!

2009-12-21T07:29:00.000-08:00

A lil something for Cessy in the works.

I have a new tablet stationed at the office now, thanks to my awesome bosses! :D
Hopefully, this will end the reign of laziness to attach Dexter everytime I come back home. XD

Revived!

2009-12-14T07:06:00.000-08:00

Oh boy, it's been a long while.

I've got a job now, so it's pretty hard to draw anything. So at the moment I can only do really quick random stuff to practice and maintain my skills.

Really messy portrait of Allison Harvard from one of her photos.

Not a very good job for an eyeballed, eyedropped copy, plus it does resembles BG2's Imoen doesn't it? XD

I need practice.

Ras returns!

2009-11-11T03:22:00.000-08:00

Doing more stuff for Juano.

Lacking

2009-11-10T09:23:00.000-08:00

My sloppy looking portrait of Volken(Tatakau Shisho) in the works.

I wonder if I'll ever continue this. I've a history of neglecting fanart pieces.
It's not turning out really well, I still have the blur curse thing, but if I get through this, I'll work on the other characters.

Faces are hard.

2009-11-09T00:47:00.000-08:00

There's nothing easy about art, whether one likes it or not. When you get unwanted results, it's a horrible losing feeling, but some choose to not give up that easily.

This is what I'm working on at the moment. By the time I finished linearting the face, I started to hate it. It wasn't the "look" I desired, and it reminded me of the stuff I did for some kid's magazine. Drawing scary wide-eyed happy faces after wide-eyed happy faces, under judgement and scrutiny, is not exactly fun lol XD.
Changes are not that obvious, but you might see how I made the irises more spherical. I'm not very fond of oval anime eyes unless the character happens to be the "HAI HAPPY DESU" sort.

This is something less recent which I take my time to work on. The face went through a hell lot of different stages. I remembered it was that very week that I created the 6th face, was happy with it, and then my motherboard died. Man... glad I got it back, though it left me really broke. I'm still thinking of altering the face, as it somewhat resembles... someone with loads of money.

The past few days seemed to have given me a lil extra energy for my artsy endeavors. But, hey, we all know it comes down to discipline don't we? XD

Escapism

2009-10-17T08:02:00.000-07:00

Escapism by *kryzenge on deviant ART

Escapism - I wonder how much longer I can pull it off.
Reality feels like it's chasing me, but the truth is that I'm already caught.

Portrait Day!

2009-10-04T06:05:00.000-07:00

It was my third time attending OIC's Portrait Day. I must say I HAVE to bring paints with me from now on. It takes alot of speed to do a painted drawing, I usually start coloring the moment the patrons leave but damn! I love the end products! *sense of accomplishment*

I've thought of dropping my Jovi markers for next month onwards because they're not great at blending, but one man's trash(or I'd say artistic preference) is another man's treasure. I managed to sell a drawing I colored with those markers. FIRST SALE YESSS! Even I saw someone snapping a picture of it on his phone and giving compliments. Whoa. Alright. XD

Oh, oh yes... I've to remember to bring smaller change next time!

Sky Cow.

2009-09-23T17:15:00.000-07:00

*sniffs nose*

I've decided to call that windy noise the Sky Cow.

Or the invisible Sky Cow, because you can't see it but it's there.

Must remember to eat!

2009-09-15T06:14:00.000-07:00

Sometimes when I get too engrossed in drawing, I just forget to eat. Then my stomach would cramp up and I'll get a headache and feel dizzy. XD

Half-done drawing of Kirsten Zahn from Bloodflowerz. That band was my favourite!

I've decided not to "eyeball" existing photographs and tried out a pose. I hope my sense of angles or whatnot didn't turn it into someone else. (I think it did lol!)

Omg. A second post!

2009-09-13T03:56:00.000-07:00

The other piece for Juano. Just finished linearting.

These are pieces for Elvivo, got to start inking and coloring them.

Okie! Let's make it a habit shall we!?

2009-09-12T06:11:00.000-07:00

I have to start posting or I'll like... forget about the blog again! XD

I'm currently working on a couple of commissions for Juano9

This is one of them in the works.

It's Galactus from Marvel Comics and Raskolnikov the koala. Quite a challenge, but that feeling of satisfaction makes it all worth it. At first I thought I was gonna die doing his helmet alone, lol, but it kinda got fun!

HELLO AGAIN NEGLECTED BLOG

2009-09-12T02:59:00.000-07:00

Ah... I'm pathetic at keeping things updated.

A week ago, I got my laptop back, and my precious data back. LUCKY. But damn the cost was ARGH.

I came across this blog by Joe Sparks and thought of doing mini doodles to post here every week. It'll be good for me, to improve and stuff.

So now and then, I'll be sketching stuff like Gaian avatars, random celebrities, etc... and put them up here!

In the meanwhile, this place needs a bit of updating.

HI NEGLECTED BLOG.

2009-08-30T08:59:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to say that everything here is hell of outdated, and pretty useless.

I keep using DeviantART for everything, so...yes... check everything there?

And... my official site has it's workfiles suck in motherboard failed computer so... Dx

BYE BLOG. XD

First Lousy Posting.

Welcome to Art of The FISHY, an alternate dumping ground for the weird things I draw, edit, sew, craft, etc.
