The pot of gold

Right, I've finally finalised (hehe) my logo for my Identities project. For what it is, it took too much effort and I'm thouroughly ashamed of how much blood, sweat, and SHEER HATE I went through to make this. Here it is, with an explaination of what it is.

The basic idea is that I'm quite a split person. The expression is negative, because I tend to have a negative outlook on life. However, the rainbow colours are present because I feel I can also be a fun person when I want to. Looking deeper into myself (metaphorically, not with an endoscope) and what I like, I've realised that this duality is present in most things I do/like/am. I'm not claiming to have a split personality (trust me, there's no voices), but what I am saying is that I'm a very divided person, constantly changing my opinions, interests, prejudices etc. Therefore, I think this rainbow-coloured symbol of hate is like pinning a peace badge on a helmet which has "Born to kill" scrawled on the side of it. In a way it's me accepting my faults, and embracing them as part of myself, rather than trying to remove them. And as I type I've just realised that of all the people I know, I might be the only one that hasn't accepted me for me. So there we go, not only have I delivered a piece of work that I'm happy with, but I've also learnt something about myself =D

Until next time, Godspeed.

Orange Wednesdays!

It's now wednesday, and I thought I'd better post something seen as I so carelessly missed monday (sorry). I've been busy working today on my avatar and it's coming together now. Good times =]


Here's another one of my marvelous 3D turnarounds to demonstrate to you wonderful people how my work is coming along...



Until next time, you can't kill rock n' roll

Inspiration

Hello, hello, hello. The Easter holiday is now officially over, as I have had a scheduled session at uni. So, for me it's back to the grindstone (computer) and for you it's back to reading the SuperMegaUberBlogofMedia!!! I'm planning to stick with my pledge of posting on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and seen as it's Friday I thought I might as well start now.

As the title suggests, I'm going to show all you wonderful people out there on the internet who my inspiration is. I discovered this artist whilst researching for my last essay, and decided his work was amazing. His name is Vitaly Bulgarov (you can find his website here) and he is a character designer. Below is just on example of his work, taken from his website.



I suggest taking a look at his website in full, the stuff on there is pretty damn amazing.

So, I hope you have enjoyed looking over my inspiration...

Until next time, kek.
