I've been throwing around a lot of original ideas and I've already come up with a pretty linear basis for a concept I'm working on. I currently have one character lined out and another still conceptual, I'm also working on the first characters design at this time. Inspired by things like Devil May Cry, Capcom, Dead Or Alive, Soul Calibur and more, but with a more unique design from me. I'm working on mastering digital art as well, so that I can crossover into that medium as well. As an artist, I'd like to progress and attain as much artistic skill as possible. In addition to learning how to make digital art, I hope to one day be able to sculpt resin statues, so that's another artistic skill-based goal of mine. Recently, I've become very inspired by Avalanche Software and their artists, their styles are really extensive and I'd love to be able to work with art to the extent that they do, because their work is really fantastic. If anyone who reads this gets a chance, I recommend you check out their blog.
Aside from that...I'm happy to announce the "Some Kind Of Joke" Series. Inspired by the AWOLNATION song of the same name, music, life, love, and more. The "Some Kind Of Joke" series is a series of random pieces I hope to use as a creative outlet incorporating emotion, feeling, and inspiration. I'm hoping the series will push me out of my comfort zone and allow me to put my heart on my sleeve for just a little while. I'd like to do the pieces on personal sketch cards or in a similar smaller format, as that is a different medium and allow for more of a challenge since there's lesser space. I don't know how many pieces will be in the "Some Kind Of Joke" series, if I wanted to be logical I'd say at least 3 to 5 pieces, possibly more if all goes well. The "Some Kind Of Joke" series is really my first original series of pieces so it's pretty exciting that I've already sort of got an idea of what I'm doing. It's really something to try and get my feet off the ground original material-wise.
With any luck, the "Some Kind Of Joke" series will span different formats, digital and traditional primarily. I might possibly try and explore other forms of art such as painting as well. As a project, the goal is to broaden my horizons so hopefully I can try a few new things here and there, while also creating something kind of inspired and focused, yet original. I'm currently kind of following this idea of moving forward, progression, going forth, changing things, making an impact, and ultimately achieving things. That's really my current mind set. There's a lot that I've wanted to do for a long time and I'm tired of putting it off and waiting, it's now or never you know. Be good to yourself when no one else will, go out of your way for yourself and not only others, because you aren't protecting your interests if you don't. Go forward, move ahead, it's never too late. Life is this ever changing entity, vast and unending, people leave it right and left, but you've got to make the choice to leave something behind, something worth your life as a whole. That's the plan. So here's to the future!
