Journal 3: 1/30/17 Gotten Up From The Sickness

Guess who got a really bad cold and spent a few days dying? This gal! Had to to take a weekend to rest up (and play Resident Evil 7). But in all seriousness, yes I was very sick. I even tried to go to work on Thursday, and I nearly vomited at the end of my shift and had to lay still in bed the rest of the night, So I can't say I didn't try! But man, Resident Evil 7 is incredible. I invested in the Collectors Edition. You see, I don't buy new games often, but when I do, I usually get the collectors edition, especially if it comes with an art book, (this one didn't to my dismay, nor did it come with a season pass) but it did come with a wondrous music box sculpted like the main house, which is quite wonderful. A game like Resident Evil 7 is just the kind of game I dream one day to create or work on. Truly disgusting and disturbing elements to make it the perfect horror game. Hopefully one day soon I'll be able to enjoy it on Playstation VR if I ever get the money. Before I had to go to work on Saturday, I threw together a quick sketch (soon to be gouache painting) of Lucas. I quite enjoy his sense of humor.

I can't wait to add in the shine of his pale rotting skin to really give off the intensely creepy vibe he gives off. It's gonna be fantastic.

Before I got sick however, I did finally apply to all my internships and I am anxiously checking my email every day, job posting every day as well. I've convinced myself that whatever is supposed to happen, will happen and it will be the right thing. I know if I don't get one this year, I will get one when I transfer to a university. Universities have been on my mind a lot lately. I've been having dreams about it, I've been staring at my Champlain College Poster endlessly and thinking about all the wonderful people I'll meet and opportunities I'll get. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a small taste this summer with an internship. 

As far as my progress with my 3 minute film, "Beyond The Sea", it's going great! I've finished the turnaround drawings for the Evil Siren  and I've even finished sculpting Michael without his jacket!

Tomorrow, I'm gonna spruce him up a bit more and sculpt him with his rain jacket for when he goes outside. Hopefully I will be able to begin the siren tomorrow as well. I've set a goal for myself that I'm going to have these characters completely modeled, rigged, skinned, and textured by the end of February. I think its a reasonable goal. I'm excited to bring my characters to life
