Tumblr

I made a blog over at Tumblr. I already have 4 blogs over there now, and it's so easy to run multiple blogs at once over there. So I made a blog for my art and design. I plan on using that one more permanently. This blog will probably go away once my real portfolio site is launched. Around May. It will be more professional, and then my Tumblr feed will be posted directly to there. For now, you'll find my work here, but my works in progress and general ramblings about my art will be over at Lioradesigns.tumblr.com

Extremely busy semester (Spring 2012)

I've been neglecting this site for a while now. I'll be updating soon (I hope) with my work from last semester, and I'm going to start updating with my work as I go for this semester. I'm learning three new programs, which is very nerve-wracking. Dreamweaver, Corel Painter 12 and AutoCAD Maya. Plus I have an expressive typography class, internship prep, English and History of Modern Design. Woah, that's crazy.

I just bought myself a new Wacom Intuos 4 tablet for digital painting. It's only the most amazing thing ever. Definitely worth the investment.

Some stuff I've been working on in Digital Painting (Corel Painter 12) is character design. The first assignment is to create a fictional character. It can be a mash-up of existing characters (such as a steampunk Dorothy) or it can be a video game or mythological character. So far I have an elf and Little Red Riding Hood assassin. I'll probably do some sort of futuristic soldier next.

I'm still getting used to the program, but I pick up new software pretty quickly. Plus I want to get the hang of painting digitally in time for my senior thesis.
