Thank you
I've been rather busy lately with school and some minor life changes to come,as explained later here.
----School and Life----
In recent times,I've finally gotten my Bachelor in Illustration,or at least it was confirmed by the board here.Waiting for the paper to come in now.
As I've started my Masters Degree,all my time at school has be focused on getting out page after page of illustrations with my Knight McKnight character. I also got a small booklet to sketch ideas into,so i've been making progress on and off in the train,at home or when I eat at the restaurant with my mother. So far got 3 pics more or less colored (still require to fix them up with my airbrush), 4 penciled out in various stages of 'almost done' (most of them just need to be inked) and I also started one earlier this morning in color.This recent page is going to need the bulk of the airbrushing work for the background done so there's actually little hand-coloring to do on it.I'll probably be done with the base by this evening.
Also to be added another 3-4 pages from my sketchbook,which are currently no more than thumbnails at the moment and a cover page done in a more "stained glass" look to follow the line of Medieval imagery set by the story.
All in all that brings me up to around 10 to 12 pieces that need to be finished by June. That actually leaves me little time to get everything done and printed nicely but I like taking risks sometimes. Lack of school guidance and assistance stalled me a lot during my re-working of the Bachelor work,so i've lost lots of time to that, but these are mainly thin excuses for me slacking a lot and having a slight depression during the course of the year.
The project itself is a re-telling of the Arthurian tales where my main character is left out of the legends, despite having done most of the quests himself. Currently im toying with the idea that the Knight in question was exalted to become a Saint,having died on his last mission and elevated to be an Angel. This would then turn Arthur to twist the facts to his bidding and make himself and his round-table to be heroes.
On the life aspect of my existence, I will be moving back to my Dad's old place in Geneva permanently. This means that there's going to be a lot of packing involved,but it foretells of good things. Its about time I leave my mother's house and start to get a real life of my own. I dont know if im prepared for that,but you got to make the leap one day anyhow...
----Movies,Gaming,Music and Painting----
Movies->
Not much recently but i still try to get out sometimes to rent something or go to the dark rooms.
Lady in Black- simple yet well done horror/drama.Clever use of shadows and light play,with a good,turn-of-the-century setting (no dates are given,but i'd say early Victorian with the advent of the first motorcar etc). Radcliff's performance is strangely good,and you dont get the feeling that you're looking at Harry Potter chase ghosts. He really takes the role to heart and its a solid,well-characterized act. Recommend it,even if just for the shooting style and the ambiance.
Gaming->
ME3-still havent started it
AvP-its old by now,but hell...Its fun.The Marine campaign still shines as the best of the 3 playable races.There is constant tension to running in dark corridors and chucking flares all over the place.Shame it loses its tunnel-vision when you start going about jungles and Predator temples near the end
Alsoooo...hmmm...Oh yeah,D°°M 1 is 400pts on XBL atm,so get that if you've never played it (shame on you).
Music->
Clutch.
Just CLUTCH.
Its damn good.Try it.
And thats it for this journal,so live long and prosper.
C-
