I've been feeling a bit burned out from college and real life so why not get back in touch with the stuff that made me want to start art in the first place :)
I won't make groundless promises this time and say I'll be back or be more active...Idk...I just felt I should at least post something new.
Here's a robot doodle...
Glad you admitted to possibly floating away again, shows honesty! Left some reviews, hope they don't sting, besides I'm a guy reviewing a girl's work, what do guys know? You would've fit right in at Pico Day! If you're ever interested in coming out, ask Tom for an invite in a PM early next year. Hope you saw the Picollage, it's the best, from the best here :)
Haha no worries. I can handle a good critique and really, I appreciate it more when people are honest. How else would I know something's not working out or isn't communicating well (so thanks!). I actually had no idea about Pico Day. So yeah, maybe next year I'll come out and participate :)
That's a cool-looking doodle.
What do you think of the Picollage? It truly brought out the best of all who participated... definitely getting a few posters. Shame they weren't for sale at the party (Tom had one on his desk), but I guess it all goes through Sharkrobot for production and sales.
Are you graduating this year? Hope things haven't been too rough at school, you genuinely have a talent for art!
Not bad, not bad at all :) It's always cool seeing everyone's different styles and interests. I thought the Hellbenders one was especially cute.
Thanks! and no. I'm only a junior lol (I'll be graduating next year). It's actually not too bad. I just make it harder on myself because I'm a perfectionist and over think projects especially by Spring semester haha
Better to be well-thought and prepared, before the blank page gets marked, right? Well, I hope you survive this and next years gauntlet of academic scurry and strife :)
Hahaha thanks, it's much appreciated
Seems appropriate you posted a picture of a running robot... after you graduate, you can lower the voltage a little, switch gears, get off the highway, find a place to charge the battery, work while sitting down...
Hey, you wrote this 6 months ago, what's been going on since then, anything good?
Oh goodness! Sorry for the delay! I haven't logged on Newgrounds in a while ^^; but it's been pretty busy since my last post. To keep it kinda brief...
Finished another year, hiked a volcano, interned in NYC, Sharknado, love triangles, financial problems, decided to take a gap year from college, Portland, home, and now freelancing.
It's been interesting lol but I'm glad to be back in California and working on art I care about (especially since Inktober and Drawlloween have been making me draw everyday). Hopefully now I'll have be more consistent on my online presence and maybe upload some new art here lol and thanks for always stopping by. I really appreciate it :) Hope you're doing well too!
Oh shit love triangles, plural?! Ah well, best to try for love early and often ;) Anyway, thanks for the succinct update! Which volcano?
Are you working or staying at home, or both? I recently noticed (again) and old form of art - painted storefront windows. This IHOP on Route 18 had an "Open for 24 hrs." one on it's side window, but looks like it needs to be scrapped off and re-done, gotta be worth a few bucks to someone.. I'd offer a metal cased razor scrapper (eraser) in with the deal (maybe even a squeegee; both with a sticker w/ your contact info), so in the future, they can take it down whenever.
lol unfortunately so and I hiked the Cinder Cone volcano at Lassen national park. It's dormant but really powerful to experience up close (makes one feel kinda like an ant especially climbing it).
And both :) I'm freelancing for someone in LA (inbetweening shots for his independent film), helping my old NYC boss with some small projects, and spending time with family. haha I appreciate the sentiment. At least someone is getting paid
I've been to Lassen before, wow, but never wanted to climb that. Used to hike around Big Bear and points south, gotta find them hidden waterfalls.
Hey good to hear you've got some work, and hope you get paid as agreed! In fact I edited and added what I said below about storefronts into a messy blog post, which contains a section on where artists can find work... still need to add the higher profile jobs.

that is a tight as hell doodle :3 do you have more of these?? posting these to the art portal I think people will really enjoy them!

Thanks! I do but since they're mostly doodles, they don't really make it as actual posts here (perhaps tumblr or instagram but rarely). Maybe when I get around to color or something I'll start uploading some more :)
