An Abrupt and Massive Adjustment of Scale


While flying back to LA, we happened to pass within sight of an outbound flight. I'd been staring at this cloud formation for some time, but it was only with the other airliner's passage that I truly understood how goddamn HUGE is was. I was working from the assumption that it was maybe a couple blocks wide; it turns out you could probably fit most of Manhattan in that thing, without even including that vast stratus sitting behind it. People: clouds are not small things.

I did the lines immediately; I did the colors recently.
The ground should actually be much bluer than that, from 30 thousand feet. But any more than that and in a still image it would probably just look like we were flying over water with weird grid lines.

Film Scribbles

Three major scenes from each Act of a film:

Tug, The pin, Coffee and Pie (Coffee and Pie Oh My), and of course, the kid who hates everyone, all scribbled together.
I'll let you guess the movie.

Busy

I've got, like, three complex drawings I'd love to work on, but my free time lately has been taken up by more important things.

Me as a bee?
You decide.

I can feel my barely tenuous grasp of Flash slipping with each attempt I make to do this test thing I've been given. I don't know if it's some ingrained push-back against the presence of technology that doesn't adhere to the same logic I'm used to, or if the program is literally just an unintuitive, user-hostile piece of shit. Whichever the case may be, I'm beginning to get concerned that I've hit a brick wall in my understanding. Nothing is syncing up. Even the things I thought I knew. Or assumed I knew.

I wonder how much weight they put on the test. How impressive would I have to look regarding my other artistic examples before taking the test is irrelevant? And for that matter, if I really pushed myself and figured this thing out and got an awesome result, would that put me at a disadvantage if I looked to competent with the program they're intent on teaching me?

Questions within questions; symbols within symbols.
Hmm.

Lent #45 – Wire

What this project is coming down to


I think a good 25% of the images I made for this are Red themed. And I think the rest are either blue or black themed. Ladies and gentlemen: my color palette.
Thank you and goodnight.

Lent #43 – Adventureland

It's a good movie.
...This is not a scene from it.


But you'll definitely leave the theater with this image in your head.
