Firstly, the site isn’t allowing to upload pictures. It’s let me before but it keeps encountering some error. Secondly, None of my major’s classes have any current “visual” assignments. I’m taking Topics in Gaming (no visual assignments, just essays) and nothing else. I couldn’t take the usual art class because it was full when I got assigned classes, so no visual assignments to be had there.

I will not comment on each of the students presentations as some of them are worth forgetting 🙂 but I certainly enjoyed the first (photography). Her pictures constantly touched and inspired me. I hope that she will do well in life. As for the two guys that major in video game design, I enjoyed learning what they’ve done for their major, seeing as I have a similar major. I like the idea of creating a boss AI.
I find each of these sites incredibly attractive and easy to use. I never get lost or terribly confused while using these sites. Every aspect is relatively intuitive. If I don’t know how to do something I can generally figure it out before too long.
Without further ado:

This artist caught my attention like no other artist, and at first sight. Something about the way he poses and captures his characters… and they are characters. Wlop, in the caption of each picture he posts, describes the characters involved and how they are related to a comic he is creating called Ghostblade. Each of his works are so gentle made that you can feel the love he was for his work and the respect he has for his imagination. I especially love the way he paints certain elements like metal, hair, or skin; it’s so slightly abstract and manages to satisfy me every time.
I have many subscriptions on DeviantArt but this is the only one of some 200 that I consistently and religiously pay attention to. Each of his pieces deeply inspire me. I genuinely can’t wait till he releases his comic, although I’ve noticed he must be foreign because each of his captions have some part of it that isn’t written like a man who’s first language is English.

Using the weekly schedule thingy, discovered I have about as much free time on my hands as I thought.
I took this picture in-game in Halo as a statement about how much cooler the deaths would be if they were first-person, as opposed to third-person deaths. To me, this is no novel idea, but it must be for the idiots at 343 Industries. Small things like this convince me I can make amazing games.
Art and business are melding more and more in the 21st century, according to the articles What entrepreneurs can learn from artists and Are Artists Entrepreneurs?. Artists need to learn to “build for themselves a supporting network of people and companies to complement their abilities and learn to employ them effectively and efficiently.” Artists aren’t necessarily entrepreneurs, but they do have to be to be successful. Success is formed from a melding of the business, the philosopher’s, and the artist’s mindsets. I found that the each characteristic of an artist listed was carefully accurate. There wasn’t a single item I believe I could debate with. Every aspect of what I find in the creative people I meet was covered. As much as these articles comforted me with their ideas, I believe they were missing a discussion about how philosophy can helpfully come into the mix of these studies.
