Weekly Journal (10/25-11/1)








I found this image, while looking for simple and yet whole image.  Despite its simplicity, the design was just beautiful.  Unlike many other complicated images I have been looking at recently, like movie trailers with CG effects, this picture was unique in how 

clear and clean it is.  I found it inspiring in how, basic parts of a scene are put together to form a solid piece, and yet there is no clutter.  This picture came from...

Personally, I have found a theme of night, and midnight very interesting…maybe it is all due to Halloween.  Well, I have played this song over and over again.  Although I have never been a hardcore Airborne Toxic Event fan, I am a major fan of their song “Sometime Around Midnight.”  Music is a huge inspiration for me, and I just thought I would finally share it.  The image I have posted for this is the album cover for this song and its CD.  The image is from

Okay so here is another simple yet elegant image that I found on the Internet to go with my nighttime theme. The leaves falling from the sky and into the rippling water, is awesome in its own way.  Simplicity seems to be a trendy design concept that can appeal to a wide variety of fans, because once details are added the window of appeal shrinks.  To check out this image and its site go to

And of course, I had to look up images from Transformers.  I was impressed immediately with the graphics in the film.  I couldn’t believe that they could just generate all of the extra metal needed to create the actual transformer from the car, and have it appear believable.  The animation along with the harsh metal sound effects was great.  The image I have posted is also just to demonstrate the attention to detail in shadows.  I found this image at

Oh and this is my sketch for the week.  I find I am better at intertwining curves and curls.  So this is it!
