Weekly Jam 6!

Ok, here's the scoop on the next weekly Jam. I figured we'd take a shot at the Rockstar. We've seen them on MTV, and in concerts and listened to their songs. Well let's give this next weekly Jam that Rockstar music quality to it as we create our own Rockstar image. You can use yourself as a reference if you want or just make one up, your choice.

Just remember: New rockstar in a style that yell "I wanna' Rock and Roll all Niiiiii-aight!"

There's some references up top and here's a great song for inspiration: I wanna be a Rockstar!

Here's some sketch Jam favorites from jam 4.

These were a few famous characters and styles that we decided to play with and try the style out for ourselves, or change the characters into another style like our own.

Winter Sketch Jam 3!

We had a fun Jam this week. The topic for sketching for today was Political charicatures and then Football, more or less since there's such a hype about it right about now with the super bowl.

In the political sketches the artists (left to right) are Dusty Hansen, Nick Adducci, and Josiah Van Arsdel. And the political figures (top to bottom) were Barack Obama, Ron Paul, and Hillary Clinton.
And the football sketch artists are (from left to right) Nick Adducci, Dusty Hansen, and Josiah Van Arsdel.
Tomas Farrenkopf also attended but we don't have his work yet. We'll add his in once we get it.

New Weekly Jam Due Date!

Sorry again for the lateness in getting the info on this weeks weekly Jam out to you guys. Things have been a little crazy lately.

As a result of this lateness, I'm moving back the due date for this weeks Jam until Friday. If you get your weekly Jam entry in the "Sketch Jam" folder on the "Animation Drive" sometime on Friday, I'll host it on the blog here.

- Anyway, this week's weekly Jam theme is... Forgotten or Neglected Mario Characters!

Who hasn't played Mario? Who remembers some of the more obscure forgotten characters of the 8 and 16 - bit era's? Well think of a few and draw what you think they'll be doin' in their spare time while obviously not being played.

Here are some examples up top:

Sorry for the absence

There was a bit of a situation I had to take care of so the site didn't get updated since the last Jam. My bad...

But here's something new for you guys still keeping track of the sketch Jam. After the meeting today we're gonna try to begin a campaign to being in as many people as possible to the sketch Jam this quarter. I'll try sending some personal invites as well as some new poster ideas that may get people to consider coming. I can't wait to hear all your ideas at the meeting tonight!

The weekly Jam will get posted after the meeting.
