So, exams are over! That means free time to paint! I got three speedpaints planned, all nature. I miss painting landscapes and foliage and trees and so on, so can't wait to start. But right now I'm working on another piece. After seeing :iconeroticatyphon: success with the kick your own @ss contest, it inspired me to redo an old image. I chose the goddess painting, 'cause it never turned out the way I wanted. I hope it will this time. And yes, she's still gonna be bald.

And as the title of this journal update hints, I'm wishing for a new tablet this christmas. The old one is about...7 years old or so? Poor thing doesn't function propperly anymore, and no wonder. The dream would be to get a cintiq, but I doubt I'll be ripping the paper of one this year. So these painting will probably be the last it'll help me create.

Odds are this will be my last update before christmas, so happy holidays everyone!

I thought I should maybe update my journal... ^^;

Right now I'm in college, even further down in Norway than my last school. I studying something called 'Virtual art and design'. It focuses mostly around computergames and consoles, and that's why the assignment's so far's been making monsters and heroes, and not you're typically art class oils or watercolors. We're starting sound design and film now, so I'll get time to make some more "personal paintings" from now on (although I would probably have made something similar to the assignments sometime anyway). It's been a bit much blood, guts'n'gore lately, even in the background piece, so the next painting'll be a real fluff piece! :heart:

...or maybe not.

Got some landscape sketches I've been wanting to test out my speedpaint abilities on, but they'll probably be done around december, because exams are just around the corner. Whish me luck! :fingerscrossed:

B-day

Some are wondering what I'm doing right now, so I thought I'd update my journal. Right now I'm atending school in Trondheim, a one-year course in multimediadesign, before I go to college/university. And school plays a big role in why I haven't updated more than 3-4 times this past 6 months.

Recently we had an animation project using Maya, that took a lot of work and energy for a loooong time, but now we're finally done. The short movie was sent to compete in an anual Nowegian short film festival, and tomorrow we'll know if we're nominated for a prize. Man, I hope we're nominated,so all that stress and sleep deprivation was worth it.

Right now I'm overflowing with ideas and inspiration for new paintings, so hopefully there'll be some updates in the near future.

20!

Uhm, so another 6 months went by without a journal update. Let's just say I suck at resolutions. Did manage to upload more frequent than before, so it's not all bad.

Yesterday I turned 20! Yay for that. No longer a teen.

In other news; I'm moving further south to go to school. Going to be studying multimedia design for year before I start university/college. Looking forward to learning about web and game-design, movie effects and the likes. Don't know how painting and updates are going to be, but I hope I'll find time and inspiration to come up with a few ideas and pictures.

Happy summer to you all.
