So well I just wanted to come in here and update a little bit because I hadn't done so in a while and I don't want more time to pass so that next time I want to update so many things will have happened I'll be lazy to do it and so it will be postponed for EONS!!!
So well I got a job as the assistant of an artist but I quit after a week lol! but I did give my two weeks notice so I'm still going until they find another assistant, which will be sort of difficult because although I am learning some things about art and painting and etc. the pay is really REALLY crappy!!! I've been getting paid about 40 dollars PER WEEK!!!!!!!! WTF!
The job itself is not at all difficult but sometimes I get easily stressed because this artist is a bit eccentric, and will go on talking about a lot of other things that I dont completely agree with and I find myself in the situation where I rather not expose my point of view to avoid another 40 min. conversatio and rather just get on and continue working..
So I had been pretty stressed but now Im just better, I wish I was getting paid more though because I can't really do much with 40 bucks per week and I dont have enough time to do other things I'd like because I have to go to this artist's studio.. But ah well that will be over soon..
On other news.. YAY! school is going well, so far I have passed 3 out of 6 subject because the other 3 just started and will end in mid Dec. or so, and after that I hope I will be able to buy a plane ticket and spend my vacations over at Rosarito with my family because I really miss them!!
So that's basically all for now, I know I didn't update much but it's so that at least the journal stays moderately updated..
Hope all's well with all of you! I hope to update later this week..
Hugs!

Working on coloring and texturing the my Big, Still-Unnamed 3D Project. Nothing's finalized yet.
( work in progress )
Tried out a Wacom tablet for the first time. Very weird and hard to get used to, but I could see it being very useful for some things. I still have yet to actually get one of my own.
Still playing around with various colors/textures, but all that's gonna get shoved aside into my free time because we're supposed to start rigging now. Rigging this thing is gonna be a bitch and a half because of all the car parts and stuff hanging off of the model. Probably gonna have to rig each piece of kibble (yes, there's a word for that) as a separate limb on the skeleton, so they can all be controllable when I start animating. Hell, I haven't even decided what I'm gonna make it do, other than probably transform, and that's gonna affect how I rig it in the first place, to a certain degree.
This is a huge, daunting task I've chosen for myself. I can see that it's probably gonna make me feel very accomplished when I'm done with it... if I ever get done with it. It feels like I've been working on this forever, and there are times when I don't know if my brain can learn hard enough to make it through.
I guess we're always our own worst critic. But I'm not just criticizing my work; I'm criticizing myself, and what kind of person I am, and whether I have what it takes to see this through. This class is literally probably the most difficult/complicated thing I've ever attempted with any measure of success, and it makes me feel like I'm constantly on the edge of not succeeding. I feel parts of me trying to slack and be lazy, and I have to keep forcing myself to keep going. I remember what happened with "real" school, and how that didn't work out, and I feel a lot of the same things I felt back then. But this thing is different. This has to be different. This is what I want. I have to make this work. |
