I wish I could fly to space

Looks like I finally have my main characters.

A won.

perplexingly replied to your photo: Which one?

but you said “new project” in your tags, didn’y you have a character with this similar haircut in this “Deranged” thing?

That project is not going to be developed any further and I like that type of haircut so I’m giving it to the main character of a new story.

Which one?

Abyssinia is a project by 19 year old photographer  Joey Lawrence… Yes that’s right 19 YEARS OLD! As a photographer Joey has traveled the globe taking snapshots of the people he encounters. Abyssinia is a particular project that captured our attention. The project features stunning portraits of members of the Bodi Tribe in Southern Ethiopia. Did we mention he is only 19! Visit his portfolio and learn about his work and world travels.

 

This is Africa, our Africa

I don’t usually reblog on here, but this is damn good advice! And sheesh… what a cool dude! Seriously. SO INSPIRING! :D

What are studios looking for? How can I get into a good animation school? What should I be studying?

I get a lot of these types of questions now and again, and I never know how to answer them. I can’t be sure of what studios are looking for, I don’t control admissions policies to schools, and I have little idea what makes for a current and relevant curriculum. There are a lot of variables in your bid for a career in animation, and it’s kind of impossible to control most of them. You must be crazy to want this job!

I find it helpful to focus on the things I can control. Among those things are your study habits and how you spend your personal time. It’s good to work hard and have goals—without them we would get nowhere. Study hard and make decisive strides towards achieving your art goals. But in the heat of that pursuit, don’t forget to go out and live your life!

If you spend any amount of time looking at artists online, you’ve probably figured out by now that there are about a million dudes and dudettes in internetville who draw better than you (I relive this realization daily). Once your have done your best to rise to their level, the only tool you have to compete with these crazy talents is your background, your personal character—is you!

Consider developing your whole self with the same raw focus and intensity that you develop a particular skill set. Get focused. Go out, have adventures. Run, jump, skin your knee, fall in love, root loudly for the away team at a baseball game, barely escape a crash of stampeding rhinos, live to see another day. Experience things big and small. Go for a walk. The world is full of wonders.

I know this advice is not particularly animation-specific, but maybe that’s for the best. At any rate, it is something I feel strongly about. Animation is great, and there are few things that I enjoy doing more than drawing and storytelling. But in order to have stories to tell, first you have to live them.

Be good, and see you soon!

PS, if you were looking for advice on draftsmanship you should probably be reading this.

Is there anybody who knows Welsh? I desperately need a Welsh translation and I don’t know if I can trust google translate…

Anonymous asked: 30 is old when the life expectancy is about 40. In biblical times average lifespan was around 40 years. So 30 was roughly the equivalent of being 50 or 60 now. Being that Mary was around 13 to 15 years old, Joseph would have seemed a very old man to her.

Ok. I was joking, you know?

perplexingly replied to your photo: Painting this took me longer than I thought…

WOAH IT’S A PAINTING! SO COOL

Yup, I went back to good old traditional : )

Painting this took me longer than I thought…

Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degré, daughter of French wildlife photographers Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert, was born in Namibia. During her childhood she befriended many wild animals, including a 28-year old elephant called Abu and a leopard nicknamed J&B. She was embraced by the Bushmen and the Himba tribespeople of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries, as well as how to speak their language.
