Aaaand back.

1 min read
So, after four years of living in the US as a student, I am back on my home country of Colombia.

Things I miss already: Easy access to videogames and comics. And by ease of access I meant non-pirated and cheap stuff (well, relatively. Take any game and add like $20-$30 and you see what I get to deal with). And the traffic.

What I love about being back: The food. Oh god the food. OM NOM NOM. Also, the weather.

So, today I have become 29 years old. I celebrated by buying myself lots of comic books and ice cream. Can think of worse ways to pass the time!

Do check out my page at www.octavioarango.com for my animations and stuff. Need to keep on working on those if I ever want a job!

My animation is finished! And chances are it will remain like that for the time being... I'm fast approaching graduation date. Might change the credits a little bit, once I get my own webspace.

You can check it out here:

It's hand drawn, colored and put together in Toonboom, backgrounds made in Photoshop, and then everything put together using Adobe Aftereffects and Premiere.

I'm mostly updating this because the other journal is like 6 months OLD.

So... 3 quarters to go and I'm done with classes :cheer:

... of course, said three quarters are going to be me killing my hand whiel working on my demo reel, which is going to be a 2D animation about Kika.

Fun times!

(... and I can't change my Mood for some reason. Button is broken or something *poepoke*)

... so, yeah, I got into one of them secret santa things because... well, it sounds interesting :p

The one in question is this one: :icongift-time:

So, anyway! My request:

Dear secret santa:

Please draw one of my characters! In particular, either of these two:

Rio is an elf, but not exactly the thin and willowy kind of elf. She's tall, really freaking strong physically (even more than she appears), and in general her personality could be describes as "rough aruond the edges". She's also a sailor. For some refs, try these:

mazinja.deviantart.com/art/Rio…
mazinja.deviantart.com/art/Com…
mazinja.deviantart.com/art/Com…
mazinja.deviantart.com/art/Com…
mazinja.deviantart.com/art/Not… (as drawn by :iconchad-spider: and colored by me)

As you may notice, her hair, eyes, and most of her clothes are different shades of blue. Her ears are pretty long, loddoss style. She also has a greatsword, but no need to draw that.

The other, if you prefer silly things or are simply tired of fantasy, is Kika. Kika is an lien chef come to earth to open a restaurant and eat whatever she can except her clients. She's short, cute, lacks a nose, has huge ears, and is completely nuts. Have a reference sheet here:

mazinja.deviantart.com/art/Kik…

And an animation here:

mazinja.deviantart.com/art/Koo…

... and that would be it. Thanks :D
