Summer Wars

Just finished watching this movie called Summer Wars & man did it have me hooked from beginning to end. The movie is about a teenage math guy who is tricked by his crush into being her date for some family gathering. This dude is a genius he can crack code as fast as anyone. Anyway, this virus, I think that's what you call it, hacked everyone's online accounts which is globally used called Oz. This Oz is something crazy it has everyone's information in it. This virus threatens to basically destroy the world unless Kenji, the math genius, can figure out how to stop it. Long story short they defeat the virus & save the world but this movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It had so many plot twist and cliff hangers it is ridiculous. The visuals are crazy in this movie. I loved the different style approach to this movie, it kind of reminds you of the Digimon movie if any of you remember. Funny I should mention that because the director of the movie also directed Digimon, Mamoru Hosoda. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that loves art, movies, anime, action, comedy, the movie has the whole package if you ask me. Check out Summer Wars you won't regret it. 

As I was watching this movie it got me thinking about the society we live in today. It seems like we are too dependent on computers and technology to help us live or get through our daily lives. This seems like a recurring subject in movies today. With the internet, social media, and everything we have there is no way saying this couldn't happen. Even though Summer Wars is just a movie and just for entertainment it does raise the question; are we too reliant on technology?

The reason why I am up this late watching this is because I'm working on something & I'm liking the way it's turning out. I am almost done give me a day or so, I think I could have knocked this out in a day if I had a tablet but that's why I'm saving up my money. Always invest in your future, the greatest advice anyone ever gave me. Alright talk to you guys later. 

Video of the Day

I love this song and I also love the artwork as well. I would love to learn how to do this one day. I think it is fun to know how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, and other software like this. Hopefully I can learn how to use these programs one day, plus I am saving up for a drawing tablet so I can further enhance my digital artwork. The video is great so much detail on the helmets it is crazy how they made it look so realistic. The artist name is TalaMonse look at his YouTube page when you have a chance, he hasn't uploaded many videos but the ones he does are great. I've been looking at different drawings on YouTube and Tumblr in order to keep my eyes fresh and to see what others are doing in order to improve my work. Also if you're wondering the song is called Instant Crush by Daft Punk, so check the video out and enjoy:

Sketch of the day [12/14/2013]

I was wondering what I could sketch today & came up with nothing. Nothing at all so I went into my "happy place" drawing cartoon characters & somehow came up with a robot. Then I decided to add some color. So here it is I call it Rode Da Robot, he's happy it's his last day of school. So here it is I hope you guys like it:

On a side note, I'm watching this movie called Frozen with my mom today. It is a pretty interesting movie about three people stuck on a ski lift & they are trying to survive before they freeze to death. It's entertaining to say the least, check it out if you're interested. Alright talk to you guys later. 

Side Project #1 [FInished]

Well I did it in two days, it wasn't that hard at all, so here is the final product. The funny thing about this was the fact that my mom didn't notice that I started painting this a day ago. Also when I was painting her & my sister pulled up, I had the blue tape over the black parts so paint wouldn't get on them. So at first glance or from a distance it looked like I painted the whole thing blue, my sister then had the nerve to say it was ugly. My family is too honest at times but then she noticed it was tape & she took what she said back. I left the buckets their natural color/texture to give it that old look. My mom said it looked like an old married farm couple but I thought it looked like a brother & sister helping out grandma & grandpa on the farm. It's funny how people can interpret something different off one picture or artwork. I hope you guys like this as much as my family does, here is the finished product: 

Today was a long day. Woke up at 7:30 a.m. to drop my brother off at school, came home couldn't go back to sleep so I ate breakfast & went to sleep. Woke up went to the gym, came home finished this up, took a shower, & I'm off to work in a couple of hours. I just keep reminding myself of what Big K.R.I.T. asked in one of his songs "...So what you been creating on your free time?". So I'm trying to use all my hours to my advantage. Okay, anyway, talk to y'all soon. 

Daily Sketch [12/13/13]

This is today's sketch. I got the idea from just playin around on a piece of paper & it transferred over to my sketch book. I hope you guys like it:

I was debating using color but I just decided just to leave it black and white. I'm still working on my composition but I will get there in due time.Overall I love the kid in this picture, I hope you enjoy looking at this picture as much as I loved drawing it.

Side project #1 [Day 1]

Well my dad had me to touch up some old statues, I think you can call them that, because he said it needed to be touched up. Personally I like the old look on these things but hey he's the boss, plus I live under his roof so I'll do what he saids. He wants the body to be black, he wants the boy to have blue overalls while the girl has a red dress, thinking about it now it doesn't seem that bad. I finished up the bodies & I'm about to work on the clothes tomorrow. I actually enjoyed this, I haven't spray painted anything in a while. But the bad part was being out in the freezing cold for a while. It only took me a hour & a half I think, I'm not for sure but I enjoyed it. Anyway here are the before & after pictures: 

Before. 

After. 

I will keep the buckets covered for now because he never told me what he wanted me to do with them. This is probably gonna be a three day thing I could finish it up today but I have work & we have to get our house together for our annual Christmas Party and it will be at our house this year so you know what that means...a lot of cleaning. I hope you enjoyed this I will talk to you guys soon. 

Sketch of the day [12/12/13]

Came home from work & decided to sketch something so I saw this girl on tumbler & decided to draw her. Hopefully you can tell its a woman. I have a few things to work on but I am slowly getting there. I'm slowly learning how the human body is made or connected. The middle of the eyes are parallel to the top of the ears. The tip of the nose is parallel to the bottom of the ears. The middle of the mouth is parallel to the jaw line. I'm just getting closer to becoming better one sketch at a time. Looking at it now I still have a long way to go but I'm getting there. So here it is my sketch of the day and my fat fingers lol:

On a side note this semester is over I passed all my classes plus I got some great news that I will be graduating in the Spring of 2014, that's great news considering how long it feels that I've been at the school I am at now. I can finally move on to the next level, hopefully graphic design at Ga State. Also, I will be taking painting next semester so who knows I might take an interest in it and hopefully share some of my work on here. Okay that's it for now talk to you guys soon.
