Sunomono~ 3D!!

YEahhhh~ I made Sunomono out of Sculpey, its armature made out of foil... This was made for the final assignment for Illustration Studio 2, taught by Ellen McMahon. We get to choose doing either an illustration, sequential piece, or a 3D sculpture based on a character or character development, or whatever, ahaha... Since I was making a little story for my Pics and Words class, I decided it was fun to incorporate what I was doing in that class for this final assignment. Ahaha... it took me a while to get me motivated on this project the night before it was due, so I decided to take a nap. That nap turned into a full night of sleep... Oh, geez, so I missed my first class that next morning to work on it for some two or three hours... I'm pretty happy with how it turned out... ahahaaa... ahhhh... >_<;;;

boys suck

This book is my solution to the final assignment to end the semester to our Pics and Words class taught by David Christiana. I had to make sure there is a theme, plot, character & etc. within an illustration or an illustration with text... haha, I decided to do a book without text, using the accordion fold, hence the story is told purely by the imagery. I did all of the drawings with Adobe Photoshop, then I printed them out and colored the pages with ink and Copic markers. Although it may be hard to make sense out of it for some, like my teacher, heh heh... I'm glad some people did without me having to explain it all myself... 

Here is the cover--- I named this little cheesy story "Sunomono," named after the little monster character, who is actually a very big, gentle swamp creature. I kind of accidently titled it "Sunomomo," ahaha, because I was realllly tired when doing this (during an all-nighter) and must have thought of my dog Momo... Sunomono means cucumber salad in Japanese, hehe...

Okay, so I kind of started the story as though it is starting in the middle... I forgot the Latin term for it... ahaha... You can imagine that there was a conflict between this couple. The girl's heart is torn in half because of the jerk... So she is feeling frail and vulnerable like a piece of paper... T_T

SO he just walks away from her, the Jerk!! The girl is left motionless not knowing what to do with herself...

She cries... T_T

She runs away crying and ends up at a swamp! In the distance she sees a strange looking swamp creature.

Oh, she's not scared at all~ this swamp creature is kind of cute... He may not be able to articulate anything... but he makes her smile... His name is Sunomono.

They have fun~ full of bliss~ <3

Uh ohhhh, here comes the jerk of a boyfriend, now ex-boyfriend... but he's in store for some doom... so the girl has nothing to worry about...

What do you think will happen next??
The End~ PUHAHAHAHAHAHAahaahahahahaaaaaaaa~~

I'm feeling nauseouuuuuuusssss...

I did this in Photoshop... kind of feeling blueish and empty... haha hahhhh...

Aieee Yahhh~ I haven't been really good about updating this blog... and I know only a few people who check every so often--- I give many thanks to those who are bored enough to do so~ 

It is already summer vacation... Classes are done, finished, and I am rather proud of myself for doing well~ YAayyyy~ Sadly I didn't update this blog as much as I have wanted to... but since I have all the time in the world for the next couple of weeks I'll be taking pictures of my illustration pieces that I've done during the last semester... Yesss~ and actually work on stuff that are not assigned for classes...

Okay, so I wanted to do something more extreme than all of the non-extreme things I've done with my dull life... I wanted to do an internship during this summer... I only submitted to one--- Pixar  Animation Studios--- but sadly my lack of effort was denied... At least I tried, ahaha... But it didn't really make me feel all too good about myself--- Plus, I felt pressured~ because my parents were hassling me, and some of my friends believed that I'd make it, and my coworkers at the restaurant have little faith in me being an art major... Anyway, I'm left with no internship... so now I'm feeling nauseous because I'm now in my last year of college~ and people have been asking me and joking with me---> "So, what are you doing after school?" I work with three guys- and when they ask me- they answer it themselves with something like, "Oh, she'll be working at a slaughterhouse..." I don't remember... Anyhow, I really don't know... Right now- I just want to live life simply- work hard on projects that are assigned to me (I wish that is the way how my future job will be oriented), have good times with friends, and just be in love, haha. I know in a year or so that these will be unrealistic... after college everything is going to change... Currently I have the entire world before me and I have so many options, but I feel as though I'm not progressing--- time is ticking away... I'm a bit scared...maybe I'm worrying too much---

But I AM going to be productive! YEah!! On the brighter side, hehe, I'll be taking a summer class, Comics and Sequential Art... It's going to be a blast... I'll be with my favorite peers from my previous classes.... so I'm excited for that... I'll be more active and in more practice than ever this summer... I'm feeling it... Every semester I'm feeling as though I am gradually improving... hopefully it will be going in a faster pace... and hopefully someone out there, maybe a millionaire, will notice me, ahahahahaaaaaa agghhhh... or not... heh heh... I just need to remember that everything will be alright... no worrrrriiieeeesss... yessssssss...

And now I am smelling Momo's poop... my puppy still poops in the same wrong place... stupid puppy... but I gotta' love her... *sigh*

I have until Tuesday, wahhhh

My er... confusing sequential/comic/illustrated story in progress... 

Sketches for a story... I'm still working on it, including the title... haha... agh...
