University
This
week has been very sunny in Swansea, it's such a contrast to the
stressful and rainy days I've had for the past 9 months. There have been
some really great and really tiresome days, where I just felt like
throwing in the towel because of the amount of stress I've had this
year. And finally, it's over.
I
had my last Viva last week, and ever since
I've just been doing absolutely nothing- well actually, I've been
playing Diablo 3, watching Adventure Time, socialising and just eating like a king. But it feels like I've been doing absolutely nothing, and it's great.
Dissonance
is complete for the most part, I still want to do some tweaking before I
let people demo it. It's not a full game, it's an academic project,
something incredibly incomplete, buggy and imperfect, but that's how much
one person can possibly do in nine months without prior knowledge to
code and with the edition of concept art and modelling etc.
Here's the trailer
This
week I still have a few little things to do, like organising the end of
year show for our department at uni and just touching up some bits of
my project ready to show off on the day- I've been re-editing the
textures of Cecilia for a while now, I'm just so picky, but I will be
submitting her wireframe to dA very soon.
What Now?
I have time to do stuff! This is AMazing awesome!!!!
On
a serious note, I'm going to be spending the next few months
creating/improving my portfolio while applying for jobs. I know it's not
going to be easy, but I will keep trying.
Think I will finally post
something on Polycount, starting up some more character designs and
modelling would probably be the best idea.
I've thought about
places I might be situated in, and settle down at for jobs- but to be
honest, so long as it is within 3 hours drive from my parent's home I
won't be complaining much. I know it's hard to get in, especially as an
artist and a student who has only just graduated, but I'm hoping that my
work has/will pay off.
Cosplay/Hobbies/Events
I will definitely be going to the next MCM Expo, and will be making another costume,
I would love to dress as Leo from Tekken and Azula from The Last
Airbender- alternatively Luka the vocaloid. It will be pretty sweet. In
the worst/best case scenario, where I do get a job and I actually cannot
attend, I hope you all will forgive me for my yet-again absence.
Anyhow I'll leave it here. I basically just copy/pasted this from my deviantART journal.
