Digital portraits + stuff

Here’s the next batch of fairly recent pieces :D. The first two is of my buddy Tomasz, the last one is a fanart of another friend’s characters.

The god of Rock n’ Roll - part 2

Figured I’d try out a jumping pose this time around.
LOL I think I’ve become rather enamoured of this character design.

New Age Nerds!

Animating 1 min grad films aside… Recently I joined up with the New Age Nerds group to put out some weekly sketches and bi-weekly paintings.

[Yes, I now have a blogspot -_-;;;;;.]

Just in case any of you are dying to see some new art from me, keep checking back here or on New Age Nerds to keep tabs on the fun stuff I’ve been up to!

Every new sketch will include a new signature with my initials “JL” which I’ll also use in future pieces; the tried and true XL99 logo will still be used in finalized paintings and splash images.

Happy holidays :D!

“On the last day of Christmas, my father gave to me….
A BRAND NEW INTUOS 3~!!!!!!”

Ah… I could just cry…..

Now all I need is a new external HD to back up the crap on my old PC before it explodes/dies on me.

The screening…

► To see a larger version just click here.

It actually went over pretty well, sure there were some sketchy looking films but that really doesn’t matter in the long run. Overall I thought there was a lot of good effort put into making the story reels. The audience turnout was pretty good especially considering the screening was at 9-12 in the morning. I dunno what everyone thought of my reel cause there were no “HAHAHAs” anywhere except for the end, so hopefully I’ll find time to ask in person for some feedback and whatnot. For now, I’ll just settle it here hehehhehe.

Gallery preview thumbs added.

Ok, so I took hakubaikou’s suggestion for thumbs and found this really nifty script called HOVERBOX.

By far it’s tons better than other scripts I’ve seen in the sense that I don’t have to handle craploads of files or dive into some php like a preening monkey with no idea where to groom. [Ahem.]

After a couple of test tweaks and format changes, it’s running well enough on both Firefox and IE. The only diff between the two so far is that you can’t seem to click on the lil preview image to see the full-view in IE like you can with Firefox. Just gotta click the lil orange box and all that.

Yeesh, I can already feel one of my coworkers looming over me for being a total minimalist freak with all them small ass image links to save space.

Last Stop - 2nd draft leica

Check it out, it’s all right here.

No sound in this one, audio screwed up during the rendering so I’ll have to save that for next time. Chances are, I’ll have to reboard a crap load of things in this film.

Server move.

If anyone so happens to see anything all screwy or images missing from the gallery on my site, lemme know right here!

Just so some of you know, the previous server decided to put some of its little tenants on a new one, and a crappy one at that according to a friend of mine.

Now that he went and grabbed a new dedicated server, I get to move in! So right now I’m just uploading stuff here, and wracking my brains trying to find a darned rss feed of my blog at the old place, with little to no success.

Chances are, I’ll have to start from scratch…. Note to self, save feeds often.

;_;…… AGARAGHAGHAGHAGHAGH~!!!!!

Once the whole animation shebang is over, I’ll repost my concept stuff along with the draft story reels and all that -_-.
