....



Seriously, I did.

I'm okay, in case you're wondering.

Anyways, just keepin' you up to date so you won't think I'm dead...

SCHOOL
Actually, it's being great! I feel much more integrated into this new class, and for that I'm very thankful to the awesome friends I made there (you know who you are! xD).
About the classes... Well, in Drawing class, I kind of feel I'm losing my touch with media I don't work with so often (like oil pastels and such). And honestly, my works aren't that good either, in my opinion. I guess it's also because I'm not that used with this teacher's method, it's waaaay too different from my last year's teacher. But she's really cool, and still encourages me.
Arts Workshop (that's what they call it): we're supposed to make a new "representation" of Picasso's Guernica, like changing the characters from place, or figuring out the background, and well... there are days when it's actually kind of fun to see what new directions it can take, and others when I JUST CAN'T LOOK AT THAT FRIGGIN' PAINTING.
No offense, Mr. Picasso. x)
Multimedia Workshop: I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A LOT MORE FUN. )8< Seriously now, on that class we're supposed to learn or knowing how to work better with Photoshop, Flash and such, but right now we're still on the basics (Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc.). In all honestly, it could be a lot more fun, but our teacher is kind of slow when showing us the ropes. No offense to him, I like the guy.
Project Area: OH MY GAWD IT'S GONNA BE WICKED COOL. 8DDDDDDD You see, me, , and will be working on this project, and our main theme is gonna be 2D animation. We're gonna talk about a little bit about the history of animation, the different types of animation, techniques and medium needed... AND we'll make our very own amateur little animations! Nothing too complex, just to try it out and show a little bit of how it's done...
THIS IS WHERE I WANT YOU GUYS TO HELP!
Now, if any of you has info on:
- techniques
- software
- materials
and all that jazz on how to make an animation, let me know about it! Oh, and if you know any professional animators, let me know about it! (Mitch, if you're reading this, I need to talk to you about that... )

And speaking of jazz...


OMG, COSPLAY!

That's right, guys! I'm gonna do something I never thought I'd do in my life... cosplay! *DOOOOOOOOOM!*
If all goes according to plan (as in, if my mom doesn't change her mind), in February I'm going to Lisbon with the three girls I mentioned before (they forced convinced me to go xD ) to this event called Photoshoot. Now, keep in mind that cosplay isn't that popular or known in Portugal.
and now to answer the question you've been all asking in your head, I'm going to cosplay... Human!G1 Jazz, fron Transformers. Seriously now, couldn't resist.

Here are some of the sketches of what I'd like it to look like... Please excuse the lameness of the drawings, they're just studies.




^ This one is the final version. Since it's my first time cosplaying, I decided to go with something simple... Now let's see if I can do it... Making the glasses is gonna be a challenge.

If you have suggestions, shoot them!
BTW, I browsed some other Jazz cosplays, and my final design was highly inspired on these two:



ART
Guys, I'm SO SORRY. D8 I HAvE been drawing, I swear, but I just can't get to Photoshop it being the lazy bum that I am. >3> Oh well, but I've been drawing this series of chibis, the people who saw mu Livestream a few days ago already got a little taste. But until now, I've only finished one drawing. Out of... 11, I guess.
Hehehe... yeah. Well, right now I'm focusing on something I'm gonna do for the TF Cross Universe Art Jam. I've already finished the lineart, and DAMN. It was the most complex traditional lineart I've ever done in my life. O.O And the funny thing is that I'm probably not gonna use it. Directly, I mean, I think I'm gonna have to make a new lineart with the tablet. Oh wellz, but suddenly, I have a whole newfound respect for comic artists. But hey, it was good practice!

Here's a small preview... ATTENTION, there are spoilers for Revenge of the Fallen!






Well, that's all I got to say for now.
Ti'll next time, guys! Thanks for the support!
