Finding my groove

As I was uploading my files I realized I must of saved over a sketch I did.  Pretty frustrating as it was one I actually wanted to keep, wish I could of lost a different file.  Otherwise I tried a new technique in the first pic, not sure if I will use it again, but I definitely learned a lot.  Not sure what else to put here, pretty angry I saved over that file at the moment, must of happened yesterday and I didn't realize it until just now.

Sumo Paint

This week I spent time thinking on the project to come.  Just mental organization of what I need to do and how I need to do it.  As such, this next week will be plenty of writing.  When not thinking I did a couple drawings.  The first is Megaman which I did in Sumo Paint, a free painting program.  Its ok, and much of my criticism comes from the fact that I have been using Photoshop for years now.  I'm sure if I just take the time to set up the hot keys I want the program will be comparable.  I had to stop working on it b/c I didn't feel I was improving it anymore.  The 2nd was a sketch I did real empty minded.  Done in Photoshop, I have no idea what is meant by it.  Looking at it today I see the head is big for it to be proper proportions, unless it were a child.  Ah well, I didn't hold myself to any standards while doing it, just sort of let go.

chrisloomis13.com is reborn

Today I relaunched my website, chrisloomis13.com

It is what I have been working on as of late and I am happy to see it up.  Still more I can do with it but for now this is good.  Also have a facebook fanpage and twitter.  With that now done I hope to move on to an actual project.  I have a couple ideas, but I think I am going to focus on just one.  Also, having posted last weekend and now this weekend, I hope I can really solidify consistent blog posting.  Its a good goal setter, so hopefully my production levels will stay high.  Cheers to all that have been following, and cheers to anyone just finding me.

Back to SF and employment

So where have I been?  What have I been up to?  Since my last post I made up my mind to move back to San Francisco.  I got more done and was more driven there.  Not sure if its b/c I am living alone with less distractions or if its something to do with the city, or maybe its just the west coast in general.  Whichever way, I moved back February 1st and sought employment which I found March 12th.  With a paycheck I felt better turning my full attention back towards my own pursuits.  Having now got a desk and organized my room and life I have been working on the relaunch of my own website.  Not much to show in the way of actual work, but I did the below sketch, or whatever you want to call it, this morning in about 30 minutes in photoshop.  Hopefully the next post here will be the relaunch of my website.
