Anime Studio Pro 9?

7 years ago I discover an awesome animation software called Anime Studio Pro 5. I fell in love with it. Now, I'm not a big fan of cut out style/puppet animation,which is what you see done most of the time with Anime Studio. But I learned that the software can do much more then that.

The is a clip from the animated film La Reine Soleil,the animation was do in AS Pro 5. When I saw this, I had hope for my animation projects. I was also in college working on my finial project,about to graduate.
Here's my finial project,...it's embarrassing for me to watch it...at the time I was learning as I go,trying to finish up my project for a grade...Not very good animation at all,but I was proud of it at the time.

Planet Neo my school project.

I had plans to work on an animated film,not based on the characters in the video. After I finished my project I had learned a lot...but still needed to learn more about the software and about the basics of animation...
But life happened...computer crashed and couldn't afford to get a new one....

My characters for my animated film project: Deviantart

I'm never going to start on the project,...long story short:
1.)A friend of mines was writing the script for free,but later on wanted me to pay him to countine to write the script...I couldn't pay him....I couldn't blame him for asking for money being low on cash and stuff...

2.)My computer crashed shortly after that..tried to save up but life happened...

Fast foward to 7 years later I learn of Anime Studio 9! Anime Studio Pro 9? Whoa, I been living under a rock for seven long years!!! lol
Boy have the improved the software! I'm blown away! Just watch these videos!

Artist block?

Here are some things you can do:

Draw from life

Take long walks/runs in the park

Take a local art lesson

Workout

Draw random crazy stuff!

Draw outside your comfort zone

Try different art mediums

Read a book

Try new hobbies

Force yourself to draw

Artist blocks can be a pain in the butt,I should know,I'm still on my 7 year artist block...but I found new hobbies like model kit building and painting, and miniature figure painting! I took a couple of art lessons and drew from life and learned a lot. My drawing skills improved a lot. But I still having been able to come up with new ideas for characters to draw. I use to write stories,even though I wasn't much of a writer. I would come up with ideas for a manga,an animated series or animated film...but now my creativity is drained,and now I don't even have resources to create an animated series or animated film,I have no PC that I can use to do those things....

Many,many,many times I give up on being an artist...I even falling into a deep depression. But something deep inside of me tells me not to give up. So I have been taking small baby steps...I have fallen a couple of times....but I just need to brush it off. Lately I have been obsessed with drawing Sonic the hedgehog,lol. I only been a fan for a month now! So I'll just roll with that for awhile.

Why I think the Modbook Pro is awesome!

If I could afford a Modbook Pro it would be a godsend gift! It a Macbook Pro built into a tablet PC and you can have  Windows and Mac OS running on it!The best of both worlds! Virtually run any software. 

Uh so why not get a Wacom Cintiq 22HD?

Yea it does cost a lot less! (still can't afford it) But I don't have a computer that can use it,just my husband's old piece of junk laptop...plus we live in a small apartment and would have room for that type of setup...

The Pro  has portability,all in one! Perfect for small living spaces,and if you're on the go! That's something you can't do with the Cintiq. 

Well,...you have an iPad...so you don't need a Modbook!

Are you kidding me?! That's like comparing a Prius to a Lamborghini! I'll take the Lamborghini please! 

The iPad is more catering toward casual artist, the Modbook Pro is more for serious artists!

I don't think I can afford one,not the way life is going...Maybe when I'm old and grey...

Sonic the Hedgehog Miniature

This was my latest project, which you can check out here! I got this 3D print of Sonic from Shapeways, two weeks ago and finished it last week!  I had fun with this project!

Hello!

Welcome to my new blog! Here I will be posting my artwork,fanart and other projects,my options on video games,animation,and life goals and life in general. So stay tuned!!!!
