Finished! (almost)



Here's the sort-of finished bust of Dr. Freeman. I've spent lots of time only on this part which I hope to finish sometime....maybe. There were some parts where I experimented with the mixer brush which gave a dramatically softer tone than the rest of my painting.

Progress!



Freeman's head is coming along! Still need to shade his cheeks and forehead and add light to the hair. I'm going to add texture and rough it up a little once everything is painted.

Painting: Gordon Freeman



This is the stating of the sketch of the Half Life main protagonist, Gordon Freeman.
Since this game is from around 1998, the Hazard Suit he wear has block geometry making it perfect for practicing my straight line drawing while also practicing curves. I hope to have this done within a week.

Surrealism (Unfinished)



    This piece still needs a lot of work including activating the areas left empty and fixing the shadows of  the statue. Additionally, I plan to tone down the lowlights and shadows, add tracks for the elephants, and impose a graphic, such as a compass, in the sky.

TOO MANY GIFS

This has been a site I've been working on for a awhile now called TOO MANY GIFS. As a site comprised entirely of gifs, I made this site using HTML, CSS, and PHP. It features a full contact page with a Thanks page and confirmation email.
Enjoy.

JavaScript!

     I now feel I have a firm grasp on HTML and CSS so I'm now looking into learning the basics of JavaScript in order to better animate my websites and polish them further. Although I realize I've only scratched the surface of both HTML and CSS, my plan is to go further into web design knowing the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and maybe even Jquery. Luckily, JavaScript is a lot like an objective based language which should make it an easy learn coming from a C/C++ background.

HTML
tutorial

This week I began working on learning a new function tag in HTML called the <details> tag. This tag enables you to condense and hide information and then restore it by pressing the small arrow by the tag's name. I can already see how this can be useful in making FAQ type tages and displaying all key points within view without the need to scroll.
