An image-heavy update- Summer begins!

This is most of everything I've been working on recently. I hope you like it!

Recently, my soccer team won districts and then went to regionals. Sadly, we lost in our second game, but we did really well throughout the season. I also made all-districts and regionals! :)

Summer just started today, and so hopefully, you'll be seeing more work from me, as I move through AP English work...

Either way, stay tuned~!

new semester!

Hey, everyone! It's been a while. New semester is about to start, and I've got several things on my mind lately. Girls, schoolwork, indoor soccer (which is going pretty well :D) and ART. Art is what I love; it's what fuels my fire. Art classes start this semester, and I'm really looking forward to it! I've been painting and drawing a lot these days, so I'm hoping whatever knowledge I've garnered will be useful! 

Anyways, here's some semi-recent stuff. I'd post more anatomy studies, but eeeh. No fun viewing naked people, eh?

Snowy scene painted for my mother.

Santa Claus portrait. No references, thus why the glasses lack reflections and the nose is kind of distorted. I gave it to a really awesome girl, dunno whether that was the best idea.... ;D 

Master copy of John Singer Sargent's portrait.

Secret Santa 09' for a pixelation member!

Michelangelo anatomy study. Good for form and volume.

Cropped portrait, didn't finish the hair/back of head so I just left it at this. :)

Anyways, that's what I've been up to lately. Hopefully you guys had a great Christmas and New Years! I'm hoping to update this a little more frequently with one piece an update instead of a huge dump each few months ;D Either way things are going alright around here, just got your everyday teenager's problems. I hope to start looking into colleges soon, and maybe start working on my painting more often. I also gotta get more into studying THE BIBLE, BABY. Stay tuned! 

<3~

Oi'!

Updated my blog name, layout, URL, etc etc. I wish I could get a site... :/

Anyways, today we had a bomb threat so I'm home early. It was kind of awkward... and cold. Haha. I've been drawing and painting a lot lately, too. Here's some stuff I personally like.

You can still keep up to date at Punaji, as well.

Along with that, here's some pixels!

But yeah, that's basically it. Indoor soccer starts Saturday and I can't wait.

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I'm glad to tell you that since the last post I've been doin' good! I've changed some stuff on this page, too! 

Our soccer team won districts and we move to regionals this tuesday. We're also off monday and tuesday, which owns.

I got two top pixel art trophies at PJ recently. One was a #1! :D

Hope ya' like it. 

Oh, hey

Forgot about this blog. Updating every week starting now. Not like anyone is following, though, haha!

Anyways, some coo' stuff is happening in my life. Got two girls I think that might like me. I'm going to play along and see what I can do. If nothing goes perfect, then eh, I tried, right?

I also got 6th top pixel art for November 2008 at Pixeljoint. My first actual trophy! I hope to be getting more as I improve 

I'll also be holding a Sprite Workshop at MFGG in the IRC channel on Fridays. 7:00 p.m. EST. 2:00 UCT. 

I've also gotten a few job opportunities offered, and am going to be writing a review for a new pixel-art making program being released sometime in 09'. 

I also have a few WIPs right now, too. Check em' out. 

Yeah, that's basically it. See ya' around.

Oh Yeah!

Actually art! Wow!

Also, I got a 101 on my Geometry exam. Rockin'.

Anyways, here's some new and old stuff I've been working on. 

WELL THEN.

Finally finished the Bird, it's over at Pixeljoint if you feel like commenting!

I also have another WIP, but who knows... I have a lot of those! 

Anyway, I've been busy with school lately as well, gettin' by with A's and B's...Geometry is awful, though. I was also sick, and my stomach is still recovering from the virus...meanwhile, my dad catches what I have. D:

I've also been enjoying Guitar Hero: World Tour lately! Workin' my way up to Expert, too!

Well that's all for now. =D

You Are What You Eat

Duh. Hey everyone, updating the blog today. Updating my newest pixel-art a bit, too, as I try to build up my gallery.

A few cool things did happen, today, however

• I helped set up my school's forum
• I found a picture of my girl on google ;]
• My parents discussed getting me some new art materials
• Started production on "Silas"

So yeah, my day was alright. I also conquored every song on Guitar Hero DS on expert. :P

Ahoy!

Thought I'd get one of these new-fangled blogs. Apparently you can chat about whatever you want here, and post pixels and art! So yeah, I'm Dex. I'm a 16-year-old pixel-artist who loves to work in different medias of art. I listen to mostly oldies rock and I play soccer for my school. I'm a forum-frequenter, and I even host my own site. So yeah, I don't know who'll actually check this thing, but hey, I can advertise! So...first off, some old/recent stuff:
