A few thoughts as the year comes to a close.

So it’s practically the end of the year and what do I have to say?

Suprisingly little.

Once again I’m convinced that my work is done well and that what I haven’t done by the end of this week is things that I’ll just have to let go, but then it’s the same every year, no matter whether it’s school, college or uni, and at least this year I won’t be running around like a headless chicken during the last week (I did that last week).

However, I’m not certain about how high my grades will be. After all, I’ve improved quite a bit (no modesty here for work I’m really quite proud of), but so has everyone else. I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere and yet I’m still trailing the pack.

I’ve really enjoyed the work, the one day projects are a challenge and I only failed to get one finished but I made up for it by doing two models one week. The drawing work has been challenging but I feel I have improved, and my blogging has fallen by the wayside a bit as I haven’t had much to say about the work before it’s finished.


It’s challenging, to crit your own work, and I think that sometimes I can be a bit over generous towards it, after all I’d like to think I was improving a lot, but if I compare my work to others, I can still see there are areas where I can improve and I think that’s the point of all of this.

Hopefully by the end of next year I’ll be more confident and happy in my work.
I’ve noticed something interesting though, all my decent work has been done while I’ve music in the background, even now I’ve got the Smash Bros Brawl OST playing in my ears.

I want that game!!!!!!

Sorry, I will not let it desolve into the same situation we had with Pokemon Battle Revolution.


Anyway, getting off the track as per usual.

I think my point is that this year started off hard and it wasn’t until we had Ben Mathis here, and then Heather, that I saw any real improvement on the standard and speed of my 3d models and I feel that while my drawing work has improved I have a ways to go still.

I freely admit this and will be working on my drawing and modelling over the summer, harder then I did last year and hopefully will come back to uni ready and raring to go, unlike after the Easter Holidays, where I worked so much to get some extra money for uni that I actually came back more tired then when I left.

But then I have more fun to go over the Summer then I did over the Easter, even if I work my butt off. I’ve got this year’s Amecon and my precious Pokemon Tournament, and a week down in Dawlish Warren. I didn’t get to go away very much last year so it’s nice to have a holiday as well as Amecon.

Where did my track go?

I’ve lost it again.
Anyway, suffice to say there will probably be more blogs to come by the summer, but I’m not sure how many more of them will be course related.
