• My obsession with Halo is undying haha For the concept art portion I did not have any ideas for specific guns, I just gathered some references and sketched out ideas for Covenant gun designs.

See you soon

I've had some days where I have been working quite hard and not having a progress session. There is so much I want to accomplish, yet so little time. I must discern what is truly important to me, I need to delegate tasks, and I need a new approach. I have this constant feeling that I am "not doing it right" or most of all, "I am never doing enough." But I guess that's my ambition being so sky high. I'll show up today with some progress and try to figure out a new approach over the weekend

Your studies are really cool! Are those weapons based on Halo? (sorry if that's a dumb question I haven't played in years haha). Love the Spider-verse characters!

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, those weapons were based off of Halo Infinite reference images ( the newest game )

• I am going to slow down, not rush anything, not force creativity, and focus on where I want to take my art in the coming near and far future. I know I'll never have it all "figured out," but I do need a solid sense of direction. I may be putting in a lot of work, but it feels like I am going nowhere fast without specific goals in mind requiring that work. Hard work needs focus to truly get somewhere far.

• Alright. I've come to a space where I must change my approach. I cannot expect myself to try to do 100 things every day because that is too overly ambitious and unsustainable. But, I can instead spread out my practice and workload throughout the week and focus instead on actually slowing down!

• I will be having a daily gesture drawing session with normal observation and turnaround observation ( I am seeing tons of mistakes in these, so I know I have a lot to learn here and I am excited to begin doing so because these turnarounds force me to truly understand the human form in order to properly visualize a different angle within my mind and put in on canvas )

• There are a lot of changes to my workflow I will be making this month, and I'll share them here as they come along. For now, I'll continue on figuring out the right approach to all this for me.
  I will be starting Term 07 this week to create a personal portfolio project for my 2024 Rookies Submission to be completed by the deadline. This way, I'll earn the certificate for this program, produce a ton of cool artwork, and possibly gain some recognition by the Rookies judges. I won't know until I try and give it everything I've got!

See you soon
