You will be missed my dearest friend...

Sable
(2003-2011) 

We have been the best of friends since my early years of Highschool. He was intelligent. He was fast. And he was very small. We named him Sable because of his dark hair that was not quite black, but a very dark brown. He had a mate named Tory, who was 2x his size, and had 5 children (1 of which we kept for a while, named Tess). All of his children, even the runt of the litter, was bigger than him. He was a miniature Pomeranian.

He was a smart dog because no matter what barricade we used to keep him away from the bedrooms, he would sneak thru the smallest hole in the corner, or bounce off the gate enough times to make it fall over. He would do whatever he could to get to my room. He slept on my bed whenever I could sneak him into my room. He would hide food or pig ears in my room, and sometimes inside my shoes, because his wife was a greedy eater and eat his food. He would always listen when me or my parents called him. We trusted him outside with no leash because he was that good. He had a bad habit of peeing over anything plastic in the house. He has been to an Anime convention, and got to sleep in a hotel. He went with us almost everywhere, except into restaurants. 

He passed away 4am, Wednesday, August 32st, 2011, due to health complications. My mother was a trooper who went all the way to another city by metro train to get him to see a doctor. She was told she needed an appointment by 2 places, but one place finally took him. He had my mother at his side, and she never gave up on him. 

My dad reminded me of the movie "All Dogs Go To Heaven", and he said that Sable is definately there and will be waiting for me. I hope he has fun playing with the angels. Goodbye, Sable. I love you.

First week of school, FINISHED!

Starting the school year as a JUNIOR! Only 2 more years from now til I graduate...heh!

And within this week, I've already bought Corel Painter 12 (for $10!), have my 1st big assignment due next week, and up to neck in HW! I've also just recently told myself that I actually really love MODELING!

I hope I can consistently show what I will be doing this year. I know there will be alot of amazing things happening this year! So maybe blogging once a week!

I have a modular building assignment that I will getting my butt in gear on as soon as I finish this post. Cruise Ship Pool Deck was my choice. I have to create 2 differently organized pool environments in 2 weeks. This week was already taken up to do research and start on the building blocks. I have to have blocked out the 2 pool environments by this Saturday, so.....by tomorrow! Wish me fun and good health! lol.

My schedule for this year is pretty sweet:

Working my 2 times a week job in the office, so I really need to organize my time well. (Blogging is a good use of my time, im sure.)

Marty is an awesome teacher, who came from an Art Director job at Midway. I look forward to improving my skills greatly with him as my teacher.

Cooksey is awesome too! He majored in Philosophy, quickly got into computer scripting, and is constantly updating the curriculum for Ringling's Game Art Major. His mind is open and very knowledgeable.

Jason Bennett is new to the Ringling Faculty, but hes got great skills and is fresh from the industry. Ringling Alumna. He will make a great concept teacher. I'm excited!

Ok, well time to eat and get back to the grind. Next week!

Hello everybody...



Don't have any school work to show you at the moment. Too lazy to get back into dem old files. They are like haunted grounds with memories of late nights, lack of sleep, and looming deadlines.  But what the heck?! That just represents what the industry is like too! Kinda scary. Tho it's actually "fun" while doing it, the aftertaste is so bitter.

Sooo... Instead of going into haunted files, I am here with a wip teaser. Heeya!

My Summer House! Its like being inside The Sims build mode, but in the EXTREME. Create EVERYTHING from scratch, AND make it functional functional funtional funal funnel                                                                 CAKE.
Urkel say whaa~

Game Illustration WIP

An illustration for my 3d sidescroller game.
It still needs a lot more work, cuz I believe this illustration is going to have the title on it, so I need some title space. Not to mention, I'm going to remove the dood in the middle. But I actually like having a character in the middle. :(

1st iteration looked like this:
