If you've never used spray paint before on an artwork, I'd recommend trying it. It's a lot of fun and makes a nice contrast if you draw in another medium as well. Won 2nd place at the Round Rock ISD Secondary Art Show :) My favorite part is still her ear. It's probably the best ear I've ever drawn. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9594/154922/ladyinred.png" width="600" height="447" width_o="600" height_o="447" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9594/154922/ladyinred_o.png" data-mid="667824" border="0" align="left"/> The lady is drawn in Prismacolor pencils, and the background is actually spray paint.

Tools used: white board, camera, Windows Movie Maker I made this stop motion animation for my Digital Media class. For the first half, I animated on a white board and took pictures. I'm not sure how many pictures I took in total but it was in the thousands. At one point, I realized animating the whole thing completely would take too long so I took the alien creature out of the white board and did some live action shots. This was a good learning experience for me. i found out how important it is to use a tripod for stop motion animation! I kind of like the way it turned out in this case, but I think the next time I attempt stop motion I will be whipping out the tripod and I'll probably invest in a remote control for my camera.

It is inspired by the TV show Twin Peaks. The premise of the simulation is that a girl has been killed in a town called Rhetorical Peaks and you, the player, have been called in to try to solve this case. You must talk to different town inhabitants and examine clues in the simulation. After going through the simulation, the student will then write an argument paper about who they think killed the girl. Student developers split up into four teams, each creating a prototype of the simulation using a different tool. The goal was to gauge through the development and in-class testing processes, which prototype is the most successful. The most successful prototype will then be expanded into a larger simulation with more characters and objects. The four tools chosen were: Powerpoint, Flash, Unity 3D, and Second Life. I was the developer working on the 3D version using Unity 3D, a 3D Game Development Tool. I modeled the terrain using the in-program tools. I also modeled The Parlor, which is the main building in the simulation, in 3D Studio Max. I wrote the scripts for the dialog tree and put together all the game components in Unity. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9594/95015/Parlor-front.png" width="500" height="296" width_o="500" height_o="296" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/9594/95015/Parlor-front_o.png" data-mid="645347" border="0" align="left"/> Demo the prototype!
