I attended my university interview today and I have a good feeling that it went well. I was able to answer most of their questions and I think my folio was comprehensive enough. If I get placed, in two years I'll have my ‘Advanced Diploma of Screen and Media’ under my belt with some short films for my portfolio to boot.

I've been pretty quite about my film work online as generally I advertise myself as a digital and concept artist first and foremost. However I’ve now joined an account at Vimeo ([LINK])where I’ve submitted the extended trailer for my VCE media class graduation film 'Gretel'.

I’ll begin updating there as my activity in the film industry grows.

::EDIT::
Thankyou to everyone to participated, I really enjoyed your advice, questions and feedback. I will indicate whether I am online or not and also check the Livestream box on my profile page for pre-organised times for livestream sessions.

Thanks again, I had fun!



Hi Deviants!
I've started up a livestream account and I'm going to run a session now to test it out and to iron out kinks with resolution, make sure everyone receives sound, good picture and stuff. This is an opportunity for people to see how I paint and work, ask questions, just pass time. All company is welcome.

So if anyone wants to come watch me muck around in Photoshop for a few hours then I'll be working on the Speedpaint "Elisa"
The speedpaint is already in my gallery here: [LINK]
And is currently the image displayed to the left of this journal as the featured artwork.

Hope to meet some of you soon! The Workshop 4 Channel is here: [LINK]
If you wish to see if I'm online please check the custom box labeled 'Livestream' on my main profile page. It will indicate my online/offline status and is also linked to the channel.

I haven't been happy with what I've been producing in my gallery lately.
This is mainly because I'm in a transitional stage with my art, so my style is fluctuating in random directions, and the inconsistency is annoying me. I suppose it's necessary. Now that I feel like I have the foundations of a style and technique, I have the luxury of being able to begin building upon them. Hence this awkward, teenage period of my art. I think I will call it the Age of the Awkward and Ugly. It should pass soon, please have faith in me my lovely watchers, hopefully I'll come out of it a better, more refined arteest and you'll getting some decent work out of me.

Unfortunately I've become aware of a VERY annoying pandemic. Namely all monitors that are not mine.
Having seen my gallery at a friends house, I've become aware that although all my entries look perfectly fine from my computer, on others the lighting is different and brings out all the horrible little qualities of my art that I thought I'd cleverly hidden in shadow. Oh. My. God. If only there was a universal monitor light setting and we all saw the same thing. I suppose this is the downfall of the digital medium. Has anyone else noticed this with their galleries? Are you undertaking a brightening and re-examination of your past works to make sure it looks okay on a brighter screen, or adopting a 'dang it, I’ll keep it in mind for the future but I refuse to touch all those old images' kind of attitude?
I'm indecisive as to mine.
I think I'll make a poll, you can decide for me. If you want me to fix my past mistake or move my lagging bottom on to some new stuff.

I'm fighting for time also. I have backlogs of art I want to put up, but I'm drawing faster then I can color. Especially I'm now working on a top secret project that under wraps at the moment. I'll talk about that more when it becomes more official.

Thanks for reading. I'll edit with a nicer CSS design when I have a spare moment...
It could be a while.

EDIT
Thankyou to for her mention of me as an undiscovered artist in her journal [LINK]
Very appreciated.

EDIT #2
Also, thankyou to my good DA friend for his journal supporting me as an artist.[LINK]

I don't normally feature artists, you end up not being able to just do one but Akenoomokoto is an exception I've decided to make. He's one of my favourite artists here on DA because of his unique style and his odd, artistic genius. I can safely say his entire gallery is in my favourites.
His colors are wonderful and right and the way he balances dark moody tones with shocks of vibrant pinks, greens and reds really inspires me to push my own conceptions of color.





On another note, I've been spotted! 4th Dimension Entertainment, the publishing company that publishes the Lackadasy books took a look at my gallery and likes what I've been doing so no doubt you'll be hearing more about what I'm doing with them in the future. I've added a link to their site below.
It's all very exciting.
