Another Year in Review

Boy oh boy, what a year.

I like to think that the year started off extremely well since from December 2014 to about August 2015 was this huge wave of posting some of my favorite cartoon drawings and comic strips that I've selected to show off on the blog. Think about it: from December 2014 to August 2015! That's an impressive amount drawings posted! Not daily through those days, but nonetheless my supply of drawings I wanted to share is a lot.

Well, 83 drawings is a lot, you know. Here the link to the cartoon drawings archive if you want to go through all of 'em again.
***EDIT: It was actually 44 drawings that were posted from Dec. 2014 to Aug. 2015.

Hmm...what else...
Welp, I joined Charahub (which I will eventually update once the character designs are done!), and this year saw the beginning and the end of that one web comic I tried to do, Austin and Jennifer.
Oh yeah, I recreated my Doji Pocket logo due to an error in a data transfer that almost lost everything in my old USB drive. Thank God my cartoon and animation files survived that!

Also, I've made huge steps forward in developing my skills as an artist thanks to the classes and teachers that have pushed me and guided me to become a better artist. A lot of that progress hasn't really been shown here at all, so next year (like hopefully in January) I'll try to go ahead and post some artwork and pieces I've done for my art classes.

I guess that about does it for this year.
Thank you for keeping up with me this year (if anyone was ;-;) and I hope you'll continue doing so into the next year!

See ya in 2016!

Design Test Update

Here's the progress on the further designing of some characters:

For the most part, the color is more or less set in stone, although little color tweaks are still being played around with. I've yet to play around with skin color, but as you might have guess (if you bothered to guess at all), Danielle's skin tone is basically set now since it was used in the Christmas drawing I posted not too long ago. Also, I've finally finalized Danielle's attire! Shown in the Christmas drawing, it took for-freaking-ever to come up with something nice and decent for Danielle. In the end, what you see is what's set in stone now.

To sum it up: Danielle's appearance design is 100% complete. Whew.
Everyone else is like at 98-99% done; I still like to do some tiny tinkering to everyone else.
Right now, I'm reworking Mandy's attire, and let me say that's it's totally different from before.

I was hoping all the characters that were lined up here would be done with the design enhancements before the end of the year, but due to the mix of heavy workload on the last two weeks of the semester and that I spent extra time obsessing on finally completing Danielle's attire design, I don't think I'll finish everyone in time.

But hey, five out of seven ain't so bad, right? RIGHT?! RIGHT?!?

Merry Christmas!

Today's the 25th of December! You know what that means!

I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas today! Hope you're all gathered together with family and friends in time for this special time of year!

I even managed to complete a neat drawing for today!

Here's the link for the background if you're interested!

Again, hope you have an amazing Christmas this year!

An Almost Christmas Day!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to quickly stop by and say Merry Almost Christmas everyone!

Logo Tweak

I finally did a much needed tiny tweak to the Doji Pocket logo.

Comic Book Project: Final Versions

Here are the completed versions of the cover and inside pages for that comic book project:

At the last second, I changed the time machine from a car to a booth. I also spend way too much time on the cover than I expected.
Now here's the inside pages:

I'm not too good at backgrounds, so sorry about the crappiness witnessed here.
I spent like about 12+ straight the day before it was due. It was grueling, but overall I like the end results! Of course, there's tons of room for improvements here, but I'm fairly satisfied with what I did here.

Comic Book Project - Inside Pages

Back again with the progress of this comic book project!
Here's the inside pages so far:

Oh yeah, here's the progress on the cover:

Comic Book Project - Cover

I am, like, totally packed with stuff that's just piling down since I basically have one week left of school. I haven't even drawn any of my cartoons at all lately.

Today, I'll just show off the start of this project. We started the project about a week or two ago, and I'm finally starting the digital process of things.
We gotta do a cover and the first two pages for this project, and here's the cover:

I'll try to show progress of other art projects as well, just to be active around here.

Back to Bad Terms Again?

C'mon United States and China, we settled this like men already.
I know that you super power countries make it a priority to win my heart, but is it worth nuking the world to win my affection?

...probably.
