Hi all. This school semester is going to be tough for me, as I am taking some really demanding and crucial classes, yet, at the same time, I finally managed to fit a real art department drawing class into my schedule. Yay!

I was really feeling a need for a formal art class. The class I took last semester was computer science, not art, so the expectation level on assignments was really low. I wasn't putting in all that much effort, yet what I made still went well beyond the requirements for the projects and made me look like I was sucking up. Also, besides a little introduction to Maya, I didn't really learn anything new. It served primarily as an excuse to keep doing the art I was working on already, but it was homework, so I was able to let myself devote a little more time to it than usual.

So, overall, I felt like I was stagnating artistically. Now that I am taking this art class, I'm feeling the artistic juices coming back. I have a really good professor, and this is also the first time I have ever drawn nude models, so I really feel like I am learning a lot in terms of anatomy and new techniques.

If you see some newer things added to my gallery marked as mature, they are simply nude models, not anything scandalous.

I am also taking a class specifically on 3ds Max (no wasting time with Photoshop, huzzah!), which should also teach me a lot. I'll have a little animation to show you by Winter Break. Hopefully I'll be able to put enough time into it so that it looks at least somewhat like how I envision it in my head...
