Figure drawing post. . . .

Today was reaaaallly slow for figure drawings. . . . by the end of the day I managed these two, but otherwise I was just feeling completely tired and depressed from the week. Not sure why. D: A harsh character design critique right before hand didn't help, I think.

A lot of the time I end up sitting behind the model since there's nowhere else to sit. >( I get so many back poses. . . . so this time I added an extra face. :O

My thought is that she could fit into my demon-verse as a half-witch (the mask face), half succubus. Witches are only awkwardly accepted in Hell, so the merging of the two would be some awful sign of demonic blood thinning. Lol. When the regular face is asleep, the witch-mask can control the body, but it has to do everything backwards--walking, gesturing, etc. I thought it would be fun to animate.

Dodgerrrrrrrrrrr

For a workshop on character design we got to draw characters from Oliver Twist. Glee! The Artful Dodger is my favorite character in all the land, so I was happy. The idea here is that Dodger beat up a lot of weak little rich kids and stole their clothes. He sewed on the badges of various boys' private schools like badges of honor: "I beat up some kid from this school and this school and this school. . . ." He has a hat for his hat.

Character Design! Zomg!

So they kicked us first-years out of Stephen Silver's class. :\ We can't even sit in. Lol.
But! They let us actually enroll in Maki's class--which is cool but kind of really painful. So far I've left that class completely exhausted.
I think we're being joined by some fancy third-years, which makes it even more exhausting. This is like "who wants to be verbally abused for three hours??" class (though I'm sure that prospect would have most of my classmates scrambling to get in).

When I refer to people as first-years and third-years, I feel like I'm at Hogwarts. If Hogwarts were designed in the '50s and could double as a hospital.

Jekyll is sad D:

Working on expressions :D
The poor thing. He's always got something to angst about.
(But then, his noble sadness is a main attraction point for the ladies, so he doesn't need THAT much sympathy. . . .)

And sign-ups are over.

....I get the impression I should have signed up for more animation-y classes. I was so busy avoiding critical studies that I forgot. . . . Oh well, the class I most wanted to take is during my story development class anyway. :\

This is a drawing of Chance, the priest from my first year film. :3 I didn't think of doing anything with an incense holder until after I had the story pretty much set (what kind of Catholic AM I? Incense holders are the coolest part of mass.....) but it's been occupying my mind all of break. . .

It's a Hyde 8|

It's Mr. Hyde. :3 He's a little bit cat-like, desu nya.

....I should probably do something to make this blog not floating on the Internet with no connection to anything else.

(I guess this is part of a series of "Christmas presents" for friends.... little black and white cards of various characters. This is a friend's version of Dr. Jekyll.... he's distressed about something. He's always distressed about something.)

Okay . . . hah hah . . . I don't really know what I'm doing. 8) A lot of people in my class seem to have these blogspot things, so I suppose I should too? Um! For the most part I'm on deviantArt:

But I suppose I'll have to start updating here, too.... oh, also I have a portfolio website I really need to update.
