DESIGN WEEK #3
So right off the bat I'm going to admit that this week is a little lack luster, more of experimenting and trying things out more so than focusing on the execution. I had most of what I had in mind for this week roughed, but I wanted to wait until my new tablet came in before I started on it. I also wanted to see how making art in Adobe flash felt. A lot of this and other things resulted in not having enough time to make a "complete" design, but with it nearing 11:00 after waiting for the chance to use the computer I didn't have nor put enough time into this week.

I did the outline in Flash, then exported the outline and put some quick colors on inside Photoshop. It makes me sad that I wasn't able to put enough time into it because I really liked the idea I had, but things happen. I will say that I'm getting more used to the new tablet now, and I'll have to try doing a full piece in Flash. For next week I'm going to make a phone.
TABLET
As I mentioned before, I got a new tablet that came in this week. It's a small Intuos tablet with more functionality than the Bamboo tablet I had before. I actually have pen pressure now, and the overall feel is much nicer. There are some things I need to get use to though, my lines are a lot less clean using the Intuos, specifically diagonal lines which I'll get used to with time. Also the way the tablet orients itself on the screen is different than the Bamboo, while the Bamboo worked more like a mouse in terms of positioning on a screen, the Intuos works in a more precise way. Overall I'm enjoying the new tablet and I'm sure I'll get use to it pretty soon.

GONZOSSM
Gonzossm: This week I present Gonzossm. He is an artist and animator and well known for the Toss The Turtle game. One of the reasons I wanted to try doing art in flash is because I recently watched his livestream of creating art. The animations he posts on his YouTube channel while sometimes a little on the mature side, are hilarious to the right audience. I enjoy his work and hope to understand more about creating art in Flash from his livestreams.
