A new semester


I start a new semester at UMBC this fall. I only need 3 more classes to graduates (well 2 and a lab) but since the lab and it's accompaniment are only offered in the spring I will have to wait until next year to graduate with my Bachelor's. It'll be nice to have that complete at last as it will add clout to my resume. My class this semester is Biol 430: Biological Chemistry; it takes place at 8 AM on Monday Wednesday and Friday and I'm definitely somewhat excited for it (or maybe just anxious).

In other news I've just moved this week and I'm planning to apply for an Art Internship at Big Huge Games. I REALLY hope they'll have me, I can't express how much I want to work there. I've looked all over the web at different gaming sites, and in my opinion they have the best presentation for a prospective artist out there. Not only do they provide what sort of qualifications are expected but they have a segment that offers information on what sort of tasks to perform to prepare yourself for the gaming industry. Beyond that their 'Beard Competition' really amused me.

Here's another hand drawn treat from my time in Georgia.

I've been purposely avoiding drawing outside of a digital medium for a few months now in order to force myself to improve my painting skills. But for the last few weeks I've been in Georgia helping out some family and thus lost access to my digital capability.

Well an artist has to work. I was really pleased with the sketches I worked together. I mostly had a twisted Rats of Nihm meets Alice in Wonderland Story running through my head while drawing.

I'll scan the rest in later I imagine.
