Winter Break

YES! it has finally begun.......well a couple days ago it has. I started winter break with a good start on my concept artworks for the blizzard contest. I believe i got a good headstart so far.

Right now im on the final phase of the concepting. Ive gotten the artstyle down, the mindset, and now i just need to create a finished piece. Ive already created many many thumbnails, and sketches of my project. The only thing left is that ONE finished concept artwork of it. I plan to have at least 4 final concept pieces to choose from. Then i can get to the 3D aspect of this! :D

Im confident that i can finish this project before school starts again, which is also about a week before the contest ends! :) i dont really want to post any concepts in progress but i'll post these actually when the artwork is completed just for personal reasons.

but i HAVE been doing alot of figure studies along the way! i do these studies casually as a way to warm up when it comes to drawing in my sketchbook. So far ive had many many pages ever since break started so it shows im not completely unproductive.

I do get this wierd feeling though as these days of break goes by. this feeling is the feeling of being completely useless/unproductive. This usually comes by when i dont do anything all day that has to do with art whatsoever like sketching,modeling, etc. I understand its "winter break" and we all DO deserve a vacation but i just feel theres so much talent and competition out there that i cant afford to just spend 3 FULL weeks of just playing video games and going out.

We all WANT something but we have to show HOW MUCH we actually want that something. And just sitting here saying things wont do me any good? so the further i get into this field, the more i want to..DO MORE? i guess you can say?

that's really all about it for now....i'll post some sketches up here sometime soon along with my concept artworks AFTER i finish the project im working on :)

Till next time,
