Since my scanner is not being cooperative I will be posting up photos instead of high quality scan of these illustration later.

Adventurous Thursday!

Today was probably the most adventurous day ever at my office.

We hunted for goblins and giant spiders at the stairways and then ventured into the wild wild west and hung out with Bob the Trader. Later on, we had some voice acting fun going on with a lot of laughs. Finally, creating probably one of my own favorite pixel piece that I have done (left).


Okay now back to prepare for the rush! Will be updating tomorrow night! ^.~

Happy Thursday!

Illustrator is my good friend at work and the Keyboard is my BEST friend. Why, because of the short cut keys! Yeah, having shortcut keys is so much more effient especially in a fast pace work environment. The thing that I have been working on had some changes that requires, well, redrawing a lot of things from characters to backgrounds. At least the slogan is cool and I have a nice Starbucks coffee with soy sitting next to me. Oh and my toys, I think, is plotting something against me and I have proof!

This is what I was able to take a shot of with my camera phone, yeah camera function is not that great but...Look at all the bulging eyes, the crazy eyes and the shady ones with dark circle eyes. They looks cute but don't let them fool you!

After I took this photo I sort of want to take more of my toys at work.

Happy Tuesday!

Hi we on the 15th floor celebrated the Happy Tuesday with a big bag of chocolate....EGGS! Well I think it was leftovers from Easter but hey who doesn't like chocolate? Especially FREE chocolate. So that is today's topic. Free goodies. It's not a free goodies day but the saying of free goodies reminds me of how people ask people for free sketches at conventions. What my friends and I have concluded is: If you want a free sketch just say it straight out. Skip the whole "oh I really like your art" "how did you get so good" "do you practice a lot" etc. etc. yeah yeah whatever! Thinking back at it, it was VERY annoying. Just get to the point! How hard is that right?

I hope at the next con it will not happen but then this time we are not giving out free sketches. Well unless they are under 10 years old and not that much taller than the table. Of course they also have to be uber cute and behaving. That's not asking too much right?

Accomplisment:
1: Climbed the whole 15 flights of stairs at work
2: Meeting at work was good and over! Now more researching.

National Geographic Kids

Today I got assigned to work on an fullpage print ad for my company. Better yet, I found out that it is to be placed in the National Geographic Kids magazine! Okay so here's the nerdy part of me. I LOVE NGK, well when I was reading it, it was called National Geographic World or something. Either way this is very exciting for me. For once my work will be printed in a world wide magazine. Okay, last time in ImagineFX counted too but it was just quarter of a page compared to now I get a full. Some can say that it's just an advertisement but how we roll here, everything is a full illustration. So I pretty much have to do everything from scratch, except the logo. This time I even get to come up with some slogans. Once it is sent out, I have to remember to pick up a copy myself. Hey, it's still a good read of fun facts.

This is how things just feel like sometimes:

This image is a print screen of my company's site, a little corner of it. That's right there is my little avatar! I also designed the whole outfit, hair, and the board (which you can't see). This month there were alot of new features and goodies on the site. The shark was just one of the new characters that moved in. He sort of took over the ocean. Plus this forever run-on inside joke with my friend, I should just document it.

Oh and this has nothing to do with the previous illustration sketch that I posted. It was just coincidental that it's both sharks.

Since it's Monday and a new week, I'm going to change the posting of the daily to-do list. I find it a bit difficult simply because I get home really late from the office and sometimes the task gets rolled over to the next evening. Therefore, I'm going to try a weekly to-do list.

April 19 - 25, 2010 list:

1. Treasure hunting! Have to find some old client works to be sent to GU.
2. Rough sketches for potientially new prints.
3. Clean out that box under my computer desk.
4. Drop off and pick up baby cousin from school.
5. Try to schedule a Hush meeting.
6. 30 min workout 3 times this week.
7. Plan out outfit for Friday. What comes before Part-B? PART-A!!!

I might add more later but that's it for now.
