Markers before sleeping

2012-01-12T00:10:00.001-05:00

Markers laying near is kind of tenting so... small pic before going to sleep, drew my ram character, and since it's small, it doesn't seem that bad... i think.

Sketch area updated

Edit 19-01-2012: Two more drawings

Hewo 2012

2012-01-04T23:20:00.003-05:00

Hellos fellas, just enjoying the last days of my holidays, and hopefully have better stuff for this year, not looking forward for Life Drawing and hope to improve better structure and ideas for character/creatures/whatever. In the meantime, we had to upload this blog, with the last drawings from December 2011 (Except Borys since he was colored yesterday).

Animal characters based on my pets (except the bee, but they are cool anyways), because... i run out of ideas and im on lazy mode.

Top (Lisha and Cooper)

Bottom (Loro, Hobbie and Borys)

Maria

And this semester ends like this...

2011-12-10T19:25:00.001-05:00

If i mentioned it or not, i will repeat it, im not a fan of Life Drawing, i actually say to myself that i suck and i can't do stuff that is in front of my eyes that is real unless it is a deformed being, even that im not good with it, thought i will post it just... to make more space around and well, to make your own opinions.

Don't forget to check the sketch are for the random doodles ♪.

Creatures Redo part I + Bonus

2011-11-27T00:46:00.000-05:00

Since i can't do normal stuff at the moment, let's do some random creatures, actually... redoing or drawing again some of them, why? well if you get to see the first design you can see some stuff like lack of structure, part of proportions, or in a nutshell "HOW THE HELL IT COULD WALK?!".

So i show 3 of them that obtained a recent redo, and a bonus of one new fellas.

Stay stunned around half of December if you would like to see the leica reel of my final.

You know that im not a fan of my life drawing homework so don't expect a normal title when i put them on. Why upload them? Because i took it's time... im not a fan of doing bones... yes the feet look strange but the actual model for it had it on a similar strange way.

Animation Fund Raising

2011-10-23T16:59:00.003-04:00

Information from the tumblr page http://algonquinanimation2012.tumblr.com/

"We’re the third year class of Algonquin College Animation and we’re graduating in 2012. At the end of every year the animation program puts on a grad show to showcase their recent graduates. This includes official showings of their third year films and portfolio viewings for the studios and general public.

The graduation show is a huge opportunity for students to gain exposure in the industry of animation. A number of studios come from across Canada to see the students’ work and offer tests for employment.

Because of budget constraints this year’s graduates need to raise $5000 in order to have the same opportunity that students before them have had. To do this several of the students have opened this blog to help earn the money through their artwork."

Want to help out? Order a commission using the Commission a Student page.Have any questions? contact the blog directly with the “ask” button!"

I offered as well to do commissions to help the fund raising, so if you are interested on one, contact me by e-mail or any of the available students appearing on the "commission a student" buttom.

We appreciate your help.

Cat Walk

2011-10-23T16:52:00.000-04:00

Here is my 4 legged walk assignment, choose a cat as my animal approaching that i had one as a pet and because of my sister as well, he supposed to be Tibbs from 101 Dalmatians, but it turned a bit more fatter than the actual one, i dismissed the sheet.

The movement was achieved, but the head is another story...

2011-09-22T21:02:00.003-04:00

Disney gave a presentation today and after that, there was a chance to get a critique by their part, so one can improve the stuff for next time, i was one of those who wanted their comment.

And after crying a lot because of the tension over there, im going to take what they told me and of course, do it! i really doubt about getting a job over there, but their opinions are really important to improve one so... here i share my novice demo reel with you, feel pretty welcome to give advice, i will be really appreciated.

Wish i could put more stuff, but since the hard disk incident wel... kind of complicated, oh well, enjoy ♪

2011-09-05T15:33:00.000-04:00

How to spend my last day of vacation? WITH MARKERS!

Just love to paint with them, so soft... not very good with them, but to relax, is the best.

Showing also a revival concept of my "evil clone", she is named with the first username that i used on deviantart, do you feel curious about what the hell is all of this? see the sketch page for more.

Maria

2011-09-02T22:38:00.002-04:00

Hello fellas, i am on my last vacation weekend before beginning college, that means I'm back to the routine of sleeping on the lab and rushing thumbs to get approvals.

It also means that decent artwork may not appear in a good while, however, that means there will be more updates on the sketchblog, so you will see the doodles of my spare times, so, if you want to keep looking for updates, keep an eye on it.

The deviantart account may come random on submissions as well, i will see if i can do some last submission here before starting.

Character Challenge - Part One

2011-09-01T06:29:00.000-04:00

I think it's dawning...

This was supposedly only 100, but because im stupid, im going to do this thing two times more... when i have the time of course.

So, my quest of almost happiness, colored version of the sketches that i have been doing since June, some mistakes were fixed on computer, other looked better on sketch, and the rest... oh my i think i need to sleep now...

What i was going to say?... oh yes, this took so long because this was my personal experiment related if i can do more variations (beside haircut) to facial gestures, dunno if i kind of pass of i still a fail, at this hours im just punching the emo side because im too tired, and of course, to revive those old character that i have.

I love designing characters, even if they are unoriginal or not, i love them, they are my kids.

August kind of Journal

2011-08-09T13:58:00.003-04:00

Hello everybody, been a while since I don't update here.

My excuse for that is... because most of the drawings are going for the sketch area, want to live the finished ones for here, so, if you want to check the kind of sane side of my mind, check the sketch blog.

I think I have some stuff that I can show you, let's see what i got here (trying to avoid fan art)...

What I'm mostly doing is working on one of those internet memes, this one that I'm working on consist in drawing 100 of your characters, originals or from fanaticism, but because i love creating stuff every freaking day, the countdown has increased, so... there will be more than 100 to show up, when I get it done, I will upload the sets so you can see the faces without a square crop.

With that left up, i will progress to upload some stuff here.

Maria

Surcon is done

2011-06-25T17:26:00.001-04:00

Yes! finally i finished this one, and it actually has a BG, but im not happy with the drawing, was loosing joy during the process...

Hate taking too much time to finish a drawing, oh and i hope to don't have another stupid idea like painting without lines again, is painful.

Character art

2011-05-16T23:50:00.002-04:00

Eh... got issues related to design lots of characters...

Maria

Maria goes back to it's fandom

2011-05-14T18:07:00.001-04:00

And by that i mean drawing my favorite bug guy Cell, until i can get him on a decent way, why? because i have a while since id drew him, is one of my favs characters, because im a douche, etc etc. The first sketch page it's awful, but is like Goofy, one have to draw him over and over, until one pick the trick.

Maria

Anothe life drawing session

2011-05-07T22:08:00.002-04:00

Even thought i got kinda surprised with the note of this year, i still think that im not so good at this, but each 100 gesture that i make, i find 5 or 6 poses that i like or i find some potential for a drawing.

Also, some long poses and a study of the chest which looks... awful.

Maria

What to do on vacations

2011-05-01T20:30:00.001-04:00

Since i have this bad manner of creating characters (from a fandom or from something random) i have the job of doing a decent drawing of each one of them and make a little bit of story.

Not to mention that i have to color and finish the concept design for 10 more creatures, number that will increase since i have 4 months of doing nothing... mixer time!

And because third year of animation is freaking important, i have to continue working with my pre-production stuff.

Was thinking on doing a comic, but that's too much work and i have already with the characters.

Sin computadora = Doom

2011-03-02T12:19:00.000-05:00

Vaya, y justo cuando pense que no podia tener mas mala suerte, debe ser mi hermoso karma.

Se supone que teniendo una semana libre antes de empezar el trabajo duro en el college seria algo divertido, puesto que uno puede vagacear, dibujar en la compu, jugar, dormir y etc. Weno que pasa cuando el archivo boot se corrompe en tu maquina sin haber tenido chance de hacer back up? te jodes, simplemente te jodes. Porque no hay nada mas divertido que perder dos anios de computadora en un disco duro, de hecho encontre un anio en los respaldod e mi hermana pero los dle anio del 2010 son los que estan un poquito mejor hechos y, carajo! PERDI MAS DE 200 PSD!

PSD: Archivo de photoshop

Usado para guardar los dibujos originales sin ninguna pixelacion o sin juntar capas.

Que me queda hacer? a parte de llorar porque perdi un dibujo de una semana y el contenido no apto para menores que nunca fue subido a internet por obvias razones... llorar por dos dias y esperar a que pidan una nueva maquina.

Me siento miserable, mucho, pero ahora que viene en camino una mejor maquina que, aspiro y espero no tenga que reiniciar cada hora para usar una tableta o se joda cada tres meses.

La leccion mas importnate de hjoy, no sean pajuos como yo y SIEMPRE HAGAN UN RESPALDO, y si su respaldo esta en un disco duro externo o en un flash drive, NO LO CONECTEN A LA MAC.

Macs apestan.

Y como no tengo dibujos que subir por perdida de archivos y no escaner... musica de Youtube

The Veggies

2011-02-11T11:02:00.000-05:00

Cumpleanios: 14/09/2007
Planta/Vegetal: Rabano

Rabanito es alguien que siempre esta alegre, pero no siempre esta atento de lo que tiene a su alrededor, en muchas ocasiones puede ser o muy ingenuo o inocente, en cualquier caso, termina en un accidente. Tiene un gran amor por los animales a pesar de que lo ven como un aperitivo. Basicamente, es como un ninio de 5 anios que solo quiere jugar con los demas.

Cumpleanios: 16/11/2007
Planta/Vegetal: Planta de Marihuana

Un vago en potencia, Rafty es el amigo "cool" de Rabano Head. 20 horas al dia las dedica a dormir y tomar, las otras 4 para fiestas, y solo en esas 4 hroas ya hay un caos puesto que cuando Rafty esta muy emocionado o asustado, empieza a soltar el olor de marihuana a su alrededor, dejando a los demas... A pesar de su excitante vida, siempre haya un hueco para visitar a Rabano, ya que es el unico amigo del cual no ha sufrido de alucinaciones por marihuana.

Cumpleanios: 21/10/2009
Planta/Vegetal: Ajo
Especial: Vampirismo

La ironia rodea a Garlic Sauce todos los dias, no todos los dias se ve a un ajo vampiro, de hecho, es el unico vampiro inmune a ello. Garlic Sauce es un obstinado y un ser amargado que solo se ocupa de como mantenerse durante los anios modernos, tiene un empleo como repartidor de comida libanesa en el Shawarma Palace, y cuando pasa media noche, hace una ultima entrega de Papas con salsa de ajo para el ninio que se porto bien, las razones de esto siguen siendo un misterio.

La vaca contra el emo

2011-02-09T18:38:00.001-05:00

Preparense porque van a venir varias secuelas

Y si gente, soy una emo, me deprimo con mucha frecuencia en relacion a mis trabajos pero no me corto las venas o me visto como uno, auqneu aun asi no veo excusa para que me pateen.

Porque viene el emo ahora? Por que Maria se siente mediocre al ver los trabajos de una caraja que, aunque no esta en el college, sigo encontrando sus dibujos por la internet, que me da por resultado, una mardita envidia, ella dibuja mas coolio que yo, yo apesto, bla bla bla, patada en el culo para mi.

Que tiene la vaca para hoy aparte de contratar un sicario. . .

Weno, no solo estoy haciendo sketches de poco a poquito acerca de unos "Random Facts", pero a la vez estoy haciendo unas pequenias referencias del trio del desastre que son el Cubo, el Nano (Carrot) y la Vaca (Yo), que con el tiempo, subire aqui, dicha referencia tendra incluida una rotacion de 3 o 4 vistas y otras cosas tales como expresiones y poses.

En el resto, empeze a pintar estos bosquejos que hice del anio pasado haciendo fanart de Team Fortress, juego que no he jugado pero me gustan los trabajos.

Me falta aun hacer mi Demoman pero eso sera para despues.

En fins, no les termino de contar mi momento emo para evitar ladillas asi que, voy por mi cena y a ver teler con mi mai y mi hermana.

Maria

Limpiando por aqui y por alla

2011-02-06T14:18:00.000-05:00

Hice un respaldo de todas maneras

(Guns of the Awesome)

Decidi al final borrar las entradas viejas, porque me parecian o muy ridiculas o no todas me traian wenos recuerdos, a lo mejor subire una que otra pero no todas.

Entonces cual sera el nuevo papel de este blog olvidado? Un medio diario twitter (weno ni tanto) subir bocetos, uno que otro rant y... publicar pajuetadas como videos o screenshots de lo que este haciendo o de juegos etc etc...

Y ahora... me toca hacer tarea porque ya he vagado lo suficiente y... es para maniana y mi grupo y mi profe me vana patear el culo si no tengo nada.

Anio Nuevo y blog abandonado

2011-02-05T11:14:00.001-05:00

Wenas a quien sea que aun pueda lear este

Feliz anio 2011, como se habra de notar, el blog esta en su abandono, porque? porque soy una floja de miercole, pero la verdadera razon es porque me hice un nuevo blog personal el cual no voy a dejar en publico hatsa tener aunque sea un 50% de confianza conmigo misma asi que... que se le puede hacer al pobre blog?

Que tal un formateo de entradas para darle un mejor aire de nuevo... nah, aunque las vieja sentradas son ridiculas uno ya le stiene carinio por los recuerdos de gallo que me traen, lo que me quedan son tareas, sketches y una que otra foto para hacer propaganda de mi cuenta Flickr.

. . .

Empezemos con lo mas comun, dibujitos!

Por algun motivo, dibujarme a mi misma como una psicopata me resulta entretenido o graciososo, claro no estoy muy lejos de ese futuro pero bueh, vaamos a hechar verga, y por supuetso, mis amigos cubo y nano, porque son los personajes de emergencia para las tareas cuando mi cerebro no se le ocurre nada nuevo. Aqui los ejemplos, DRAMA!

Y de rato los dejo asi porque me mandaron a cocinar, despues veo si puedo subir otras cosas, hasta otra, disfruten el nuevo disenio menos chillon del blog.
