Data Structures Lab 1 RPG (6)

In my class Data Structures, we were given a lab assignment where we were required to program portions of a role playing game (RPG) video game. The final outcome of this RPG had no art in it's design. It ended up being a very basic console application running in a Linux terminal.

Shark Painting (5)

I recently created this painting of a shark. While I was paint this shark I screen captured my monitor and then made this video. This painting took me about three hours to make but I have sped up the process so now you can watch it in five minutes. Sharks would have to be my favorite animal.

My Class: Computer Systems (4)

This semester at BYU I am taking an IT class called computer system. In this class we will be learning how a computer operates and functions. I am currently in the third week of the course and have many weeks to go. in my schooling so far  I have taken  one other IT class which was an intro to information technology. In my intro IT class we learn basic topics of information technology and touched on them very lightly. Following this posting I will elaborate on my findings with the things I learn in my class computer systems class.

Brown Bear Painting (3)

My first painting that I was able to create was a picture of a brown colored bear. When creating these paintings I use Photoshop on my computer and a Wacom tablet and stylist. the Wacom table and stylist help me in the process because it make the experience more to what it would be like as if I was using an actual brush and canvas. One of the biggest upsides to using Photoshop is that there in no clean up needed after finish a piece of art. The video that I have posted has been sped up to save you viewing time.

Digital Painting (2)

Lately I have been creating digital paintings with Photoshop. Practice has got to been the most important element when it comes to improving your skills and abilities. I have been wanting to improve my ability to create beautiful pieces of art and so I have started painting. I have screen captured my monitor while I paint so I could put them up on YouTube and share it with all of you. My wonderfully talented wife has also records her paintings and so some of the videos I will share with you will be the handy work of my wife.

My Blog (1)

This is my first blog posting. I have set up this blog to share with all of you my process and progress in obtaining my degree in information technology and into my carrier. I will share my secrets, tip and tricks, tutorials, challenges, successes, and creations. I will also post about my own background and current daily experiences.

A little bit about me, I am a current student at Brigham Young University. I have always loved technology and art. For my future occupation and hobbies I would like to find a way that I can intertwine my love for technology and abilities as an artist. As some may guess by my enrollment at BYU I am religious and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka "Mormon". Along with my normal posting, part of my posting will surely be in regards to my beliefs.
