The long overdue update!!
I'm such a social recluse these days--it's terrible x.x
Graduation's in four weeks and I'm skurrrrrred!!! So much to do, and since I haven't taken a proper assessment of what I have done already (as some layouts were done in other classes, some are yet to be laid out, and some I don't think I wanna put text on), I'm totally not sure what I have left to do yet and thus am probably freaking out about having to do more than I actually have to do. BUT I am making progress! Excellent progress is being made, my friends!
And I think I actually got a table at Anime Expo this year (at least, unless there's some sort of error and they wanna just take my money for the fun of it), so huzzah! Pliip, that means if you don't find me at Comic Con, then you MUST come to AX because as far as my poor knowledge of CA geography goes, LA is closer to San Fran, jes? In any event, NO EXCUSES!
But back to the subject at hand, things to do (at least, as far as I'm aware right now)
Priorities
--Put illustrations into advertising/editorial layouts (i.e. as if this was an illustration for an actual article/ad)
--Fix fuck ups/annoying mistakes on other illustrations
--Resize art so it fits into 11 x 14 format for portfolio
--Redo portfolio site to match cool new layout
--Finish process portfolio
-at least two more process layouts for illustration pieces
-layouts for all the storyboards I like
-layouts for concept art/character design
-sketch layouts
-Clever body copy for said layouts to explain what goes on in my weird head.
--Design new business card (as current one lacks phone#/addy for obvious reasons) for professional usage
--Get said business cards printed
--Create leave-behind portfolio sample
--Print everything
--Put everything into portfolio
-Decide on paper color to mount stuff on
-Decide on amount of white space (if any) I wanna mount stuff on
If time....
--Finish Fu Hao Illustration so it can go next to the Elizabeth spread
--One more queen illustration to put next to Antoinette spread?
--Get blog rolling
--figure out how to add twitter feed to blogspot account
I think that's all of it, but there's prolly more that I'm missing. The main thing is getting all my process stuff assembled--some illustrations have 10-20 pages of ideas, designs, notes, etc that go into making them, so scanning ALL of them and then figuring out how to compile them into an easy-to-read layout is really tedious--especially where the concept art is concerned =\
I was hoping to print out everything I got done today so I could acccurately assess where I need to be, but the printer's printing greys as greens, so that was a no go x.x
