Edit: Requests are closed now, thanks everyone for your submissions.

Whoa, it really has been long. Well, I've been a bit lazy for a while and during the past few months while playing the 20+ steam games I bought during the summer sale; I remembered the days a few years ago where I worked my ass off with requests. :X

And so fellow deviants, the time has come again for the torture:

RELEASE THE REQUESTS!!!!


:icongoofygrinplz:

Whoa, 100? ONEHUNDRED???

Honestly compared to some of you here that is a baby number, but for me it is a slightly larger baby number! So lets go over these last 2 years of deviantART...

Test drawing of awesome by uniqueguy Miss innocence by uniqueguy SUPER!!!! FRANKY!!!! by uniqueguy Testing alcohol markers on Franky!!!! by uniqueguy Hyperactive-ness by uniqueguy Hyperactive-ness - marker test by uniqueguy Ready to fight stance! by uniqueguy

These are my first Deviations on dA. These drawings are all super special to me of course because firstly they are all traced, but also because they made me who I am.
During this type I pretty much acted as if colour was not a thing, I am not ashamed to say that those two coloured drawings made me anxious... :o (Eek) 

It's pretty interesting to see how I went on from this to what I am now, definitely coool! La la la la 

Did I mention these were traced?

Ezio the assassin! by uniqueguy Celli the Cello dragon! by uniqueguy It's waffle time! by uniqueguy

This next stage was great. Only 2 days long, yet it was all the time I needed to become fully addicted to the dA community. :D
One random drawing, one art request, one avatar of the gods
These three drawings are probably my most loved drawings because they pretty much represent the three things I do most on dA:
  • Fanart
  • Weird stuffs
  • Waffles


Yup, honestly makes me wonder how different everything would be today if these three drawings were different.

Sasuke cosplaying as a normal person! by uniqueguy Roch Villeneuve! by uniqueguy Wendy Marvell by uniqueguy Taiga Aisaka by uniqueguy Death the kid by uniqueguy Black Star by uniqueguy Chopper horn point! by uniqueguy Erza eating a waffle! by uniqueguy Gohan super saiyan by uniqueguy Maka!!! by uniqueguy Shiina!!! by uniqueguy Molly the bounty hunter! by uniqueguy Altair! by uniqueguy Gildarts Clive by uniqueguy Monk Waffle by uniqueguy Gon by uniqueguy Killua by uniqueguy Biscuit by uniqueguy Man-Man by uniqueguy

Yaaah, so many artworks... This is the longest lasting stage I've had yet, and it is where most of my dA friends have come from. Love 

This is pretty much a mosh pit of requests and fanart, not all stuff I really wanted to do but it did help to get me noticed. If you're new on dA just do requests and fan art. Appealing to the largest audience works well most of the time.

One interesting thing of all this is that there is very little improvement, in fact some of my later art is quite bad. If anything this just shows that working with so many artist's styles at one time really does not work Giggle 
Take my advice, if you wanna get better rather than get more popular. Work on your own style (aka do original art)

Gon dash! by uniqueguy Praying Taiga by uniqueguy Hisoka's rape face! by uniqueguy Link spin! by uniqueguy Lying down by uniqueguy Sitting under the night by uniqueguy Killua Dash! by uniqueguy

This is what I call "the dA-Kyoshitsu stage"

Mainly because it was my introduction to the group and it's weekly contests. This pushed me a ton and pretty much helped me break away from requests and requests and requests again and again and again and again.
Pretty much the start of me developing ma own style and stuffs. :X

Also friends, I made moar frieeends! :3

mar 15th 2013 - june 22nd 2013


Exams by uniqueguy

"Hey uniqueguy, where did the overwhelming amount of art go?" you ask in your deep stern and slightly irresistible voice...

Well... Exams...
This is the start of my many breaks. One entire month of nothing, it hurt it really did.
A lot of people forgot about me, dA is truly unforgiving :doh:

June 26th 2013 - December 20th 2013


Rika Furude - Age Regressed by uniqueguy Special Agent Pengi by uniqueguy Wind Waker Link by uniqueguy The Cockateil Archer by uniqueguy The Cockateil Knight (Sketch) by uniqueguy Castle Corridor by uniqueguy Devil Armor by uniqueguy A True Welcome by uniqueguy Sleepy Morning by uniqueguy Best anniversary ever!!! by uniqueguy The Waffle Quest by uniqueguy Captain Corndog the Assassin by uniqueguy Diamond Mecha by uniqueguy

An entire 6 months after exams and this is all I have to show... No, I disagree! 
Yup, we seem to have reached the "draw less as time goes on" stage.

This is pretty much the start of my weekly Thursday drawings which were all posted on Friday (oops ;P). Along with the dA-Kyoshitsu contests I did a few more requests, however there is less fanart and more of my own characters.
Finally!! He is actually drawing somewhat better

I guess this is the start of my love of comics?

dec 20th 2013 - june 12th 2014


Oh nooo... OH NOOOO, OH GOD, OOOH NOOOO!!
NOT THIS!!! ANYHTRING BUT THIS!!!! AIBHAGVIOQHWGIQGHQA
 
No really, no art. me from 2 years ago would torture me for this :XD:

june 15th 2014 - aug 6th 2014


Just Some Clouds... by uniqueguy Waffle Digital Practice by uniqueguy Stepping on an Ant by uniqueguy Milla Maxwell Tied Up by uniqueguy Kelly in the night by uniqueguy The Classy Horse! by uniqueguy Naru-toe by uniqueguy

Yay, digital art :D:D:D

Something in me said "yah, see these pens!!! Nawwww"

This stage is the opposite of the early fanart/requests stage. Here I pretty much just did what I wanted to and that's it! Nod
I had a ton of fun with each drawing and my style changed a bunch.

Overall, I neeeded this....
However...

aug 6th 2014 - nov 8th 2014


OH NOOOOO, DAMMIT YOU STUPID WAFFLE UNIQUE IDIOT PERSON!!!
WHY DID YOU STOP DRAWING AGAIN...
3 MONTHS MAN, 3 MONTHS!!!! Waaaah! 

This is what happens when you start getting bored of dA *sigh*...

nov 8th 2014 - now


It's Waffle Time 2! by uniqueguy Wire Robot by uniqueguy Commisson: Triple Group Shot by uniqueguy Uzhara by uniqueguy One Punch Man by uniqueguy Sauce-ke by uniqueguy Sockura by uniqueguy Kakashoe by uniqueguy

Yayyy, we have reached the final stage. :| (Blank Stare) 

I call it the "get yo stuff togetha brah yo" stage. This is the start of my journals as well as guaranteed weekly drawings. Overall this is bliss.
Motivation regained!!! CURSE YOU!

now - who knows when?


The future is upon us my friends, and now that I have found out what I actually like to do it is a lot more fun for me

This means you will see me doing a lot of Pun art as well as returning to making more Waffle art :happybounce:
Also a something else later this year that I don't even know what I'm doing with... I'll figure it out! xD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry that this was a pretty selfish journal.

If you've read until here on then thanks, really... If you skipped then, good job on being so resourceful! Sweating a little... 


Hope you have a wonderful day/week/year/millisecond.

HAVE FUN!

Over the past few weeks I've been to about 3 university interviews for illustration...
I have no clue if it's the universities that I went to, or the course that I chose, but the people there were both amazingly interesting and weird. Giggle 
 
:iconrealyfunplz: :iconbluewhatplz: :iconohjoyplz:

Let me share my most majestic of adventures with you!

-----------------------------------------------

University 1 (Disappointing, but satisfyingly weird):


Well then, where to start. Let me just list the events of the interview day.
I think you'll find it... Magical La la la la 

  1. Went into the interview room thingy with 5 other people.
  2. "Please lay down your portfolios on the table". (I obviously did and started regretting why I even put all that in my portfolio)
  3. Waited........
  4. "Now let's go on a tour" (please note; this is a flappin' interview..."
  5. We started running, like full on dashing throughout the university. He was 6ft tall and ran 4 steps ahead at all times. Damn....
  6. "HeuHeuHeu, well done you caught up, you passed the first test" (*sigh*)
  7. "Here is computers, you will use these" (good)
  8. "Here is library, you will use this" (f-for what? books? Where are the books? No really... THERE'S NO DAMN BOOKS)
  9. Blablabla boring tour stuff (the uni actually seemed pretty good)
  10. "Any questions?"
  11. UUUH YEAHH!!! Why are the walls bland a white. Is this not an art university, is no art created here??
  12. "We uuuh.. Eeehhh.........*mumble*.... Lets go on with the interview" (not kidding, their exact response)
  13. Came back to the interview room to see they rummaged through our portfolios


14. Okay, we are done here, go on home!!!



INTERVIEW, THAT WAS AN INTERVIEW!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAT WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!
Eeh... I just don't... Bored 
It's an okay university, weird interview!

:icongwahplz:

ONWARDS!

-----------------------------------------------

University 2 (Most likely MY favorite of the three):


This one was pretty good, in fact it was great!
They gave us custom fortune cookies which was pretty great and a quick tour before the interview since we were early.
Bucktooth 
BUT!!! The genius and weird of this place came in the interview.
Let me just share some amazing words of wisdom from the tutor/interviewer:
(p.s: no sarcasm included)


  • Ooo this is nice
  • Do you read books?
  • You should read more books...
  • I like this rough sketch more than your actual art. (this really caught me off guard)
  • Hmm, good
  • Passion, it is about nothing but passion!
  • Leme give you some advice, this portfolio, all of this... Too confusing.....
  • Yeaaaah....
  • What will you do if you don't go to university (no other uni asked this, interesting....)
  • Hmmmmmmnnnm....


Overall, this was a pretty fun and informative interview.
However, I most loved how different and weird everything was, totally not what I expected!

:iconhurrhurrplz:

Oh also Starbucks... They have a Starbucks... :O

-----------------------------------------------

University 3 (Unexpectedly weird...):


Going to this university I had low expectations,
but OOOOH BOY DID THEY SURPASS IT!!! Woohooooo! 
That's what I get for trusting the uni rankings

The tutors and students were all great, but the fantastic thing was the small quiz they gave us
Here are the best questions they gave us (try answering them in the comments for fun :X)

  1. What is the cleverest artwork you have ever seen?
  2. What is the cleverest invention?
  3. Before Australia was discovered what was the largest island?
  4. What is the last thing that made you angry?
  5. What is the last thing that made you laugh?
  6. Draw a mouth


So yup, those were some of the best questions. They may seem pretty normal, but in a room full of 50 nervous art students it was hilarious and weird. Imagine being prepared for an art interview and THIS is given to you, it was brilliant! Devilish 

Anyway, like a lot of you I answered these questions in the most sarcastic and crazy way possible.
So give it a go, try answering these questions

As for the university, it was a great and the tutors there were full of intelligence and experience. Definitely an amazing place!

:iconnoesplz:

But the university is practically in the middle of nowhere....
Can't believe I have to wait 30 minutes for a bus... As a London person I am spoiled...


-----------------------------------------------



Anyway, that is all for this journal.

If you have any stories of interesting interviews or universities please share them down below.
Can't wait to see what you guys have to share. :D

:iconlarryplz:

Cya!

Wow it's been three weeks already, I can't believe I missed 3 journals in a row. I seriously hope none of you noticed, sorry :(
This week's journal will be shorter and far less fabulous, simply because I want to ask a question to all of you:

Is a formal education for art effective and useful?

More specifically, I am asking if schools and universities are able to effectively produce prepared artists.
And more importantly, is it even worth going towards further education to learn art.

:iconthinkingplz:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me talk about my thoughts before you give me your informative answer (feel free to skip this and just comment or de-fin some fish) :D:

This question came into my mind after a uni interview, I've had quite a lot to think about since then... Hmmm...

The first thing I've noticed is that people never study art in school for the qualification, it's almost always for the experience since a portfolio for artists works like qualifications for other jobs. So the most important thing for teaching art is to literally teach and not just become a gateway for qualifications.

I do think that schools are able to teach the techniques and so called "secrets" to becoming a good artist, I really don't have anything against secondary/high/whatever schools. But the problem really starts when the topic turns to universities.
Pretty much all I've done at school is research on artists and experiment with different tools. There seems to be very little actual drawing probably because schools teach the basics. This is all fine and dandy, but it seems like universities seem to do the same thing (at least for the first year or two). This would be fine, except for the fact that prior to university the last 4 years of my life was the experiment and research, there seems to be a lack of preparation for work in the real world.

Anyway, what I am saying is that unis and schools are able to teach and provide experience, but do very little to prepare for actual work in the industry. It just seems a little meaningless that I would spend all my time trying out 10 digital programs, 19 types of paint, 15 ancient drawing tools and god knows how much traditional printing. The time spent "trying" everything could be spent mastering just 2 or 3 tools. Especially since hardly any artists ever rely on a large variety.

In conclusion I think that schools and universities do well, however the vagueness of the teaching and the lack of preparation will hurt a lot of artists. My main issue is that university will be so much different from the real world, I can just image getting thrown out into the world and not knowing what I want to do.
Of course I have not attended university yet, I'm just going by what I know from tutors I've spoken to and what I've seen.

So these are my rough thoughts. Sorry if this was a little long winded, but I am in a dire situation where I am doubting if university is a good choice.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm really looking forward to hearing your answers to the question, I hope that not only will this help me but it might help others too. Thanks as always you awesome deviants :meow:

:icongrin--plz:

Sorry if this journal was far more serious and straight forward than usual :X

I usually don't switch to "intelligent mode" often, don't worry I'll go back to "quirky mode" soon enough :doh:
