I Should Be Resting More.

I should be sleeping since I still feel like ass, but I've been doing enough research into working on a site relaunch for my portfolio that I wanted to test something while I still had enough energy in me to do so. This is what came of it so far. I'm digging the side on the left, although I will always be partial to green. It's just trying to find a balance between interesting design and not distracting from the actual work being placed in the site.

Rambling, yes. Back to bed for me.

Drink for Thought.

Wait, this looks familiar. 

Design Musings.

The first sketch inspired some wireframes in my graph book, and the second was one I thought about using as a corner piece for the gallery section. I'm still coming up with ideas for this new site, but with the second picture I can take a still life of those objects. Around Christmas I acquired a skull usb hub and it's been a lovely addition to my desk area ever since. 

Sketchdump #1

I need to get a bit better at organizing a sketchdump, but here is one of many to come. These are sketches of two characters from a world I've been idly building (ie, occasionally filling another book with information) for about a year or two. In this world, the elves have split off into two separate races since the big Cataclysmal event that happened. One has become ultra-conservative, coming back to the tribal roots of old. The other have embraced technology 100%. Not much more to say at this point.

I really need a better title.

Hello, hey there, all that other fun stuff. I'm not sure why I like this layout a lot more than some of the others. Despite all my desires and dark layouts and macabre urls, I'm leaning towards a cleaner, more clear layout design. Even now as I'm redoing thumbnails for my portfolio I find myself leaning towards more white-based layouts. Maybe it's because I'm getting older. I dunno, it's kind of strange.

Anyway I needed a blog that was just artwork. Not reblogs, maybe a few musings but just. Artwork. Tumblr really wasn't working for me aside from a great place to find resources. Seriously, I've found so many tips and such just from following people. I believe that this will forward my posts to Google+, so I think I'm killing two birds with one stone by using this. Who knows, might be useful after all.

I've been keeping a sketchbook to fill with my WIP, my thoughts, and a lot of design ideas for random and (most likely) pointless things. Look to see more of this in the future. Until then, don't do anything I won't.
