Here are some progress pictures of the sculpture project. I was super nervous when it was being baked in the oven. #wip #dreamcatcher #creaturesculpture (at Savannah, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Sr_ifjmHi/?igshid=my592c1c3eb4

Dream Catcher: The Reason For Good Dreams (2020). This project was made of Sculpey clay, aluminum wire, copper, acrylic painting, wood, Epoxy adhesive, and foliage fiber clusters. Thanks to the mentorship of Prof. Matthew Stromberg!

Morning hike in Mt. Tammany, New Jersey. Nope these ain’t snow below the mountain.

This is my first art blog, so I’ll keep it short, relatively.

I’m traveling in the U.S. at this very moment. Driving from North Carolina, I’m going to see my best friend in college and his family in New Jersey, to spend the Thanksgiving week with them. It’s going to be fun!

Earlier, I just finished the first quarter in art school, my dream place. I go to Savannah of College Design (SCAD, you’ll probably hear me talking about SCAD a lot in the next few years), studying CGI Animation. My goal is to have a master degree.

Supposedly, everything is going well in my life, however it just feels a bit empty inside... it feels like I’m just working hard alone on this entire thing. The path of animation is so SO far away, and I kinda wish for a friend to help me with the projects along the way. Not even mentioning that I need to work more, a lot more.

Alright I still have lots to say, but this is a good point to stop. The pic is a logo for myself I made during school, using Adobe Illustrator. I title it, Silhouette of Cuddling Puppy and Baby Cat. See you all in the next post!

Brief pictorial on subsurface scattering. It only really shows up from very strong perpendicular light sources bouncing to a heavy cast shadow.

You just go for it!  Take it at your own pace and try your best to not be impatient with yourself!  Your level and speed of growth might be faster/slower than someone else’s, so focus on your own path and let the journey take you to amazing places and opportunities!  There’s obvs going to be obstacles in the way of what you want to do, but the greater the accomplishment requires even greater challenges, though the real question is if you’re willing to take the plunge and try anyways?

A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

A quick guide in how to turn 3D objects into linearts in CLIP EX.

EDIT: FUCK I FORGOT AN IMPORTANT DETAIL:

If clicking on the blue circle symbol doesn’t show the models lineart, you might wanna go and reset the display setting to “normal”.

Found this reddit post. This kinda makes me feel better. And it’s something I think about sometimes because I always feel like regardless of how hard I work on something I don’t get anywhere.

Nice summary. If you’re curious, the anon here is referring to studies over the last decade that have pointed to major impacts on pattern separation with depression, and how depression can have major impacts on nonsynaptic plasticity.
