After having a deviant account for several years, this is the first journal entry on this account in a long time. It's gonna be an awesome one though. Okay, so I can't guarantee that but I think you'll enjoy it. I created a video for the Arsenal series at my youth group and you can see the poster here fav.me/d3cc99d . I also created a video for it using the music from Metroid Prime 3's intro video. Also, I got the basic concept from the game as well. Check it out on Youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPJtlv…

As a few of you may remember, my school has an annual art competition. Last year I created the board game series for it. This year I created a ton more pieces for it. Seven of the eleven pieces/series made it into the show, so I have a pretty good chance of placing in the top three (there were about 10 other submissions). The following are the pieces that made it into the show. Overall, I'm happy with what made it into the show.

X-Men Magazine:
First Issue
Second Issue

Spongebob DVD:
Spongebob
Squidward
Patrick

Broaden Your Taste:
All three pieces

Swan Swipes:
Leaf
Snow
Kelp

Assassin's Monthly (under the name of "One of the Seven Deadly)
Shark Attack Identity
Sugar Me Up

Every year I do a series that pushes my ability as a photo manipulator... last year was the social board game series. This year, I'm working on an X Men series. I'm really excited about this project. As you may have seen, I've done a few (Wolverine and Iceman) edits; however, I don't want to be featured in the whole series. I'm trying to arrange photo shoots with models in the Chicago area (which I think will be the most challenging part) so that I can finish this project by the end of March.

Well, I finished the shoot with Jubilee a couple weeks ago as you have seen. I have a ton more photos that I have to edit from the shoot, but the first pic. I think that I'm going to make this series as one magazine publication with articles in it... not too excited at the thought of writing the articles so I may get some help for that one.

The other night I did a photo shoot with my friend Ty. I think that he fit the part very well... he may not be as built as Colossus, but then again who really is? I also took a few pics of him with his javelin (as you may have noticed), cause he wanted something similar to a shot that he had seen in Sports Illustrated.

Now comes the long process of editing the colossus pics.

Yesterday my school revealed the results of the competition.
I won first place in the graphic design category!
Since there isn't a limit to how many entries one can have, next year I'm going to take the category by winning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. I already have two of my entries done for next year. Ha ha.

My board game series was accepted in the art competition at my school. Everything came out just about as well as I had imagined (of course there's always room for improvement). I presented 5 of the 11 board games - Guess Who, KerPlunk, Clue, Connect 4, and Yahtzee - that all featured complete versions in my own twisted style, including the swastika die.
I'm not sure exactly when they'll reveal the winners, but I'll post it as soon as I know. I talked to the judges to get comments about my piece and they all loved it. I may even get an internship at the graphic design studio where one of the judges works.
