Finally got a tablet!!! :D

Got a tablet of my very own just so I can start training myself in digital painting for next semester! Hoping to do a bunch over my winter break especially when I'm staying for a month in the Philippines and I don't think we have a ready access to the internet at our home there. So...less distractions! 

Here are two quick studies I did just now. Both shots from Skyfall, which has really great cinematography!!

It's definitely mind boggling to me to have all these assortments of colors in Photoshop and having to choose which one to use rather than just mixing and mixing to get the right one but I'm definitely having fun with it!

"Our blades are sharp"

After a few weeks of feeling dejected, thinking that I wasn't passionate and good enough to be in this major, and feeling uninspired, I received my second wind and now I can't wait to get started on some side projects during my winter break/vacation! Of course, there is the final push to finish my sack pantomine and zombie model, which I was terribly behind on but finally managed to catch up!

What I'm planning to do is to practice my digital painting to get ready for my viz dev class next semester and work on some character designs for a few of the many characters within A Song of Ice and Fire universe. I've already started taking down notes and doodled some designs for a certain bastard of Bolton and his "steward" whose name rhymes with weak. Hoping to upload a piece once semester ends (or hopefully when I get my tablet).
