Motion Tweening

Next project was learning to use the Motion tweening tool and I had had this song running through my head for several days so chose it to use here:

Hoist the Colors High

Shape Tweening Animation

Now learning to shape tween and in honor of International Talk Like A Pirate Day I did this animation.


TLAPD Animation

First Adobe Flash Animation from my class

This was the second homework assignment but first involving animation. Now this one was done using the frame by frame method.   No "shape tweening" or "motion tweening" and no "bone tool".  I hadn't learned any of those yet...... of course now that I know them I may go back and redo this animation - or as a friend of myne called it "Dark Side Animation".  Aye kind of like that and may have to do a whole series of them.....  kinda Edward Gorey gothy inspired.

Dark Side Tombstone Animation

New Future!

Despite the fact that I am scared shitless in counting on my creative side...... the logical not a problem, the creative side a bit vulnerable at the moment........ I am plugging along.  I am on the college's art magazine and we send it to print November 23rd this semester and I am excited about some real world experience!!!

Life Changes!!!

OK, school has started. I am officially a full tyme student with 15 credit in classes at American River College.   The goal being an AA in Art New Media.  Made a friend that is also just starting on the same path I am and I have a feeling we are gonna be really good friends by the tyme we both get our degrees!  I am excited about learning Adobe CS5 InDesign Illustrator and Flash.  Amazingling realling liking the 2d animation.  Go Figure!

Self Publication and Marketing

Ok, spent the weekend at Queen Bess and the Pyrates in Fresno and being a walking billboard of me own designs, it really helps to strike up conversations with others.  Nothing like having a little tattoo show and tell first thing in the morning with coffee.  But that is how I met one of the vendors and faire and he liked me designs.  Turns out it was a good business connection for both of us.  I have been getting him information on faires and events he did not know about and I may have a new tattoo client or at least someone to spread word of mouth of my designs.

This event inspired the following events since I got home.  I have set up a separate blog for the tattoo design business: Wycked Tortuga's Tattoo Design.  And I have set it up it's own business FaceBook page: Wycked Tortuga's Tattoo Design Facebook.

Next is getting the business card design finalized and ordered so I have them to pass out at places like fair.  And of course, if they are close enough, I will also be including Chuck's business card as he has been such a great mentor and guide through all of this adventure I have been on.

THE MOMENTS TO REMEMBER

It has been a momentous week to remember.  I have completed my first set of tattoo flash artwork and sold it to me first shop.  But then again Chuck at Sins of the Flesh has been a mentor to me and I owe him more than the bottle of Kraken Rum I brought him.  

Also got a call from the Census and apparently I be employed there too....... ye be watching all ye pirate crew!!!

Short post but me new ink be itchin and it be distracti'..........
