a new look

hello to anyone who still checks out my page....  i'm going to start posting on a more regular basis.

Or as regular as i can....

i've also decided to change the look of my page because my artwork has shifted to a more graphic design kinda thing...yeah. 

i'll will probably change the look of my page soon too as well because i think the image sucks... but i have to start somewhere again.  Man! getting back into drawing and art can be frustrating!!!

schwackload of old crap

maybe someday i'll do some new things... here is some not new things

Who Knows If Anyone Will Even See This....

Well if ppl still check this, here's a wallpaper i made in my spare time.... if not... who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some bad news, sorta

Wow. Becoming a dad has totally changed my outlook on life. I have decided to quit the animation business all together. I'm going back to school to become a carpenter. I need a job where if, I work all day and night, I at least get paid overtime for it. Family first. I don't know when (or if ever) my blog will be updated again. Thanks to everyone who's ever commented and supported me. O'DOYLE RULES

Hiatus...Officially

Since the day I started my blog, I've hated the color schemes blogger givea ya. I just picked the one i hated the least. I recently noticed my friend Dan Helle' pimpin the bgs on his blog. It totally inspired me to juice up my own. On another note, i know a few weeks ago I said i was gonna take a break... yea that worked great. So now i think its for real. Our baby's comin any day and we are moving this weekend. I have to also work on my online portfolio, so that will cover any urges for the next while. See ya later!

the big flop!!

Sometimes, things just suck. It's my siter-in-laws 6th birthday comin up, so i decided to make her a shirt!!! at least it sounded like a good idea in my head. I tried using brushes in photoshop for the first time ever. it turned out a disaster, but it could of turned out much worse i guess. i'm really diggin these brushes, someday maybe i'll figure it out. You can tell very well but, all the brushwork was lost on the print job, because my printer isn't good enough. This is the first time I've ever done an iron on, I thought the colors would show up a little better that this!!! oh well, i guess i can't expect it to be super paper for only $1.75. and besides, she's only six, I'm sure she'll love it!!!

Rejects!

Here are a couple of designs that got 'rejected' from the recent project I'm working on. I'm not sure if i should be posting these, but i think i'm ok seeing they're not what we ended up with. My boss thought these were pushed too far, a little too angular. We ended up with something a little rounder and cuter.
