New art and more stuff no one cares about.

Posted by JoSilver - March 21st, 2014


Well, For starters I'm proud to announce that I've graduated and now have an associates degree in Computer Science. So, horray for me!

YAY!

The only problem is now I have nothing to do during the day, I've been looking for a job but nothing yet, I still need to get a bachelors degree before I can get a good job though. However in my abundant free time I've been able to do something I haven't been able to do in a long time... Something.

So I've been posting new pictures like crazy, or at least rather frequenytly considering how often I've done anything recently. for the last couple of days I've been drawing stuff like crazy. I'm working on something pretty much everyday now, whether I post it or not.

So here all that stuff is (BTW, GO AWAY KIDS! IT'S NOT FOR YOUNG EYES... Or sensitive stomachs)


Most of it's not for everyone I know... All of it's not for everyone, But I've been looking to branch out and try new things... For instance I'm trying to get myself used to using Illustator... DEAR GOD IT'S AWFULL!

Let me know what you think... Leave a review or a vote, but mostly a review.

Also let me know what you'd like to see next, or what you'd like to see less of... If I like the Idea I just might do it.


This is the Future Ruler of Newgrounds, SIGNING OFF!

Since you're trying to do design for a living now, maybe you should disassociate 'these' sorts of drawings from your IRL name? If a potential employer does a search online for your past projects... oh god, duder.

Ya need a moniker, brother.

Perhaps you are correct, I mean I am looking for work potentially as a graphic designer but honestly that's not what I want to do. I'm a computer science major, and I love to code as much as I love to draw and animate.

Regardless at the moment these sort of drawing are my best work to date (or at least I think so anyways). However, I think on a completely objective level, they'd find I'm certainly competent in design and know my way around things like Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash, and am certainly better then most people at it.

In short though you are correct, but I feel using a fake name is cowardly. I'm proud of my work and if I ever get big and famous or whatever the last any of it will be is secret to be thrown back in to my face.

I know what you're sayin... and kudos for not compromising... but I recently interviewed for a job as an instructional designer (creating elearning courses) and it was pretty fkkn awkward when they asked to see an animation sample and I had a hard time pulling something up that wasn't a toaster pastry cock joke...

Build two portfolios is all I'm sayin, bro.. :)

Of course, I have a lot of clean, and frankly mundane stuff that I've done over the years as favors for people. Like making banners for my sister job or making a quiz game to help my brother-in-law study for his medical assistant courses. Even just recently my sisters asked me to clean up and fix some pop art she found on the internet and I love how it turned out, unfortunately I won't post it here because as different as it is now it's still not my work, but guess where it's headed! My portfolio. Not to mention the stuff from my art classes.

hey man, been loving what you do, and i (as are many) am waiting for the next update to HGS, but these things take time i know, so from me all i need to say is well done and keep at it. :)
