So I’ve been in boot camp for almost 2 months now. It’s been a really interesting experience–and I’m pretty sure I can write about this, none of it is confidential information anyway. I mean, everyone knows a soldier will fire a rifle and throw a grenade some time during his service! Haha. I missed Company Best Shot by one shot. Missed my very last shot and it was quite frustrating to say the least. Grenade throwing was fun and very loud. Now I won’t be updating unartifex in a while since I’ll be confined for another weekend again for field camp, which lasts for about six days.

Anyway, I’ve made some designs for our company. I’m not sure if they’ll choose them, but whatever, it should be good for my portfolio. So here are the designs I came up with for the Company Shirt and Safety Posters. I really wanted to work on Ammo Safety, but we did a draw and my section ended up with Drinking & Driving instead. Sucks, but that’s life, can’t always get what you want.

Well then, see ya guys in 2 weeks.

Ahaha, sorry, couldn’t help myself.

Okay, so today’s probably been the most productive day I’ve had in a while, well, along with yesterday. So, what have I been doing? Well, I’ll start off with work. I can’t say much but I think I should be able to say this without suffering any…repercussions, haha. Anyway, I’ve been working with Okashi for a while now as a background artist. Things were going at a pretty good pace, but we’re finally down to the last background artwork! HUZZAH! The game’s looking pretty good, Colleen put together a preview video and it looks pretty darn tight. Hopefully I can get this last piece done by the end of the week.

Moving along, I actually finished this sometime during the first week of January. It’s a logo I did for my friend back in Canada. At first I wasn’t really satisfied with it, I mean seriously, look at it…Haha, but since I’ve been looking at it for a while, I think I’ve grown used to it. He wanted something nerdy. I had other ideas but this one stood out the most.

And since we’re still on the topic of logos, here’s another. Well, it’s actually just part of another logo. I took out the rest of it because this is supposed to be just a sneak peak at a secret project that I’m working on with Kyle and his friend, Katie.

And for the last piece of art for the day (I have more, but I can’t show them. Well, at least not yet), I present the lineart to my submission for Imaginary Friends Studio’s art book, The Pepper Project. Pepper’s hawt, that’s all I have to say…and so is her friend, Wanda. Hahaha.

And to finish off this post, here’s me…attempting to play Final Fantasy IX’s Aloha de Chocobo. I can only play the intro for now, heheh.

So, I posted 3 days ago about my getting a new iMac. Well, since I got a new iMac, I had the urge to redesign my website and as you can see, I already have. Anyway, it’s a simple redesign of the previous layout. I’ve reorganized the galleries–which is now called the portfolio. I hadn’t coded anything in ages so I forgot how tedious it is to code an entire website from scratch. Now I remember, ugh, I spent about 3 days coding. I’m glad it’s finally over. Aside from that, I also finally got around to upgrading Wordpress to the latest version. YayOh and I almost forgot to mention, I’ve changed the blog’s name from Sketches to Thumbnails.
