Exhibition final day
Exhibition final day, and it seems like more people
came in. Again, I was able to meet more people
and few sweet things that will be kept a "secret"
for the moment happened.
Tomorrow I have another interview for an internship,
and did a little fix for my portfolio, kind of a minor
change so I'll wait to post it on my web page.

Gallery opening
Today went to the opening for 09 graduate from
the Illustration department at the Academy.
It was tiring standing for 6 hours, but it was nice to
talk to people I haven't met, getting different
feed backs of my work.

Fixing a old piece
...for a promotional piece of mine.
People tend to like my Holmes piece and some of my
"Ladybird" pieces, so I chose to use one of the Ladybird
paintings that compositionally best fit a CD label.
The only problem is, this version is the first one I did,
before the character design was solid. So it looks
nothing like the current design, and I'm fixing bits of
faces and small details to make it closer.

Ladybird title logo 01
As I was working on my concept art portfolio for my
original story "Ladybird," I finally chose to come up
with a title logo for the story.
So I spent roughly an hour choosing the type face
that fit.
Now time to come up with a logo/ design for the background,
and decide whether I want any effect on the type.

Mr. Vertigo
So for tomorrow's interview I've completed six new book covers.
One of them which was uploaded in my web page in the past, so
I made some revisions.
The older version:
Pretty bad.
In the newer version, I repainted the illustration and here it is:
Although I was in a rush so not fully happy with it, it looks a
loooot better than the older one. phew.

This just won't work out
Currently working on applying type to my illustrations
so they look like an actual book cover. I've managed
to get a few done today, but there's one that I am going
insane on.
Here's the illustration.
I've tried every font I have in my computer, and nothing
seems to fit the layout. Hopefully this pulls together by
tomorrow, or else I may have to skip this one and not
include it in my portfolio.

Shirt fight contest
So I submitted a T shirt design at Shirt Fight (under the username "tetsuya").
The contest theme was subliminal message, so I chose the health problem
caused by junk foods.
Under the daylight, it's a tasty burger. But in the dark...?
Every vote counts, so if you like the design, please sign in and give it a score
you think it deserves!!
