Better Things

Back again with another blog. I'm guessing the once a month or maybe two months thing is gonna stick for a while.

So. Updates.

-Started class again after those hiccups in the beginning when the school kept dropped all of my classes every day due to a messed up FAFSA.

-Two of my classes disappeared completely; math and painting I which I had already taken. So I had to replace one of them with another class, so I chose Sketchup which I know like the back of me hand. So right now I have Type and Layout, 3D Design and Concept or something, and Sketchup. Love all three so far. Awesome teachers.

-My Type and Layout teach that I had once before referred me to a paid graphic design internship at the school. So yea, I got an interview, went to the interview, got there 30 minutes early like the professional I am. Threw together a graphic design portfolio in a day, and a resume in 3 hours - lol -.

-Interview went quite well, they seemed to love what I had to show, was surprised I even had a resume when I offered it to them so… double points? They didn't even ask for it, lol. So now I gotta wait until next week to see whether I have the gig or not, which is around 15-20 hours a week at minimum pay, but hey, you gotta start somewhere don't you.

-Decided to check out what was going on at CGF after forever only to find that there was a Hawken contest going on. I didn't wanna enter, but… mechs, and I love Hawken, how could I resist really? So I started drawing up mech ideas, and here's what I got so far.

I really liked XIII, so that's the one I chose to explore more for the moment. Might be the one I stick with until the end.

Btw, that whole album is ghost pepper on my hotness scale and I've listened to it 3 times in the past 3 hours and it's about an hour long, so yea. Check it out.

Until next time

Edit–> Updates:

Chosen design needed more revisions done due to weight and balance issues that came about with the legs and cockpit position.

Fuck your amazing drawing ability. :(

What are the two circles on the bottom corners of the cockpit? I imagine them as giant screws, to keep the pilot in the cockpit. :P

How else will they keep Shinji inside once they trick him into piloting the Giant robot?

@Fsx: haha, er, hmm. You know, I have no idea, I was just tossing stuff together. One of those circles is gone in the newest version though, so the one left will be where the cockpit is. I'm guessing it'll sorta just slide up/down/left/right to let the pilot in/out. I haven't gotten that far into the design yet.

@Juurian: Super glue.
