I definitely think it is a better fit for me all around, and while I love animating, it didn't leave much time for me to do other stuff. I love it, but definitely not as a career choice. So I'm setting my aim for being a concept artist for animated movies!!!
So here's some stuff from my foundation illustration class this past fall!
So as part of the illustration curriculum, I also had to take a photography class. It was kind of fun (although the projects were super intense and didn't take into account that we ARE NOT photographers). But at least I got an awesome new camera out of the deal, since I needed a DSLR vs. the cheap-o point and shoot I had. It gave me a reason to buy a fancy pants camera!!

| SHOESSSSSS!! |
We had to do a major project during the semester, 'Seven Deadly Sins' (which you only had to choose 4)
It was right after Halloween and I was in a spooky mood so I ran out to Halloween Adventure during their super-mega-awesome-clearence because we are closing-sale. I got a whole bunch of glow in the dark skulls and painted them like day of the dead skulls, and made matching altars!! I was so excited about just painting the skulls I didn't fully think about the idea and the lighting (since in drawing you can make up the light and make it work how you want it. proof I am not a photographer)

| Greed (probably the most obvious out of the set) |
 |
| Gluttony |
 |
| Vanity |
 |
| Wrath |
I still have all of these in my room, and the paint doesn't fully hide the fact they are glow in the dark. It gets creepy at times. haha

| A perspective assignment there was a place in reading terminal market called the 'flying monkey' bakery. They made super cute cupcakes! so what if the wicked witch of the west wasn't wicked, but sugary sweet enough to open a delicious bakery in the emerald city? |
 |
| Shadow box! we had to actually build it then draw from life. So, heres a little more about me! |
 |
| just a little sketch. About a lady who doesn't really have hair, but when she wants to change her hairstyle, she takes them off other people. (she has an assortment of heads to choose from) |
 |
| Part of an acrylic set of self portraits we had to do. I wasn't very good at first, I was having a lot of trouble. (I don't think it was the actual painting, I just hate self portrait assignments) So this is me and my cat, Sassy! She's adorable and I love her!! And most days, she loves me (especially when I give her treats!) |
As part of our assignments, we also have experimental portfolio weeks! It's just a time when we can do whatever we want in whatever medium we want!!!!
I always want to experiment with different mediums and styles, but I'm super dedicated with school and hate turning in unfinished works. So if i have a week to do a painting on top of work and my 3 hour round trip commute and all the other homework assignments I have, I won't really experiment, because I am so exhausted I sometimes just want to get it done. It's sad to admit that, but i know i need to work on that.
Anyway, for my last experimental portfolio (which was right before christmas), I wanted to make a gingerbread house!!! So festive!!
It's entirely made of all edible ingredients (except theres wire in the tree, but theres icing on the outside!!)
It's a combo of gingerbread, fondant, cake, and icing.
and it was delicious!

| Little snowman!! He was the only part I kept before my class destroyed and at the house! |
