IT WASN'T EVEN FINALS PROPER AT THAT POINT

I had my first final today. There was a weird thing in my schedule where both my figure drawing and Old Norse finals were scheduled for the same time (way to go BYU, this never happened at the U) so I had to take my Old Norse final early (in figure drawing we're having a party for the final, so obvi I couldn't miss that). That Old Norse final though?? I'll let this picture explain

the final is Sigurd and I'm so Regin it hurts

Seriously I haven't taken a test that hard since my AP Test days (for real just throw in two more essays and some multiple choice it would basically be an AP test). Good thing my old norse prof is the nicest grader of all time.

In other news, I'm having repeated freak outs about animation connected with my finals and figuring out how to print things at BYU. After Saturday night though I'll free as a bird. until then, this is me.

as much as I would enjoy following the smell of beans through the infinite realms of the ghost zone, it's finals week and ain't nobody got time for that. It's been a while since I've really PUT MY HEART into one of these posts I feel like. but enough about me, let's talk finals.

Here's the thing about taking mostly creative classes, you don't exactly have finals for them in the traditional sense. I mean you'll usually have a final project, but there isn't like a final test/essay you have to do at a weird specified time during finals week (more on that later). Because of that, it really means that the week before finals is a lot crazier than the week of. Before I continue, here's a picture

This goes out to Indy

This was especially true my last semester at the U, where all my classes had either the last test (in place of a final) or the final project due the last day of class. At the Y things are turning out slightly differently, in favor of confusion. Every class has a set aside final time, which is fine, but for all my creative classes that don't have a final proper, I'm left slightly confused.

For Figure Drawing we have to turn in a bunch of printouts of our drawings and all that, which is fine, except I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN AND WHERE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

For all my other classes there's no problem really (and two of my classes are already over). I have no idea how my New Testament final is supposed to work, because apparently they have religion class finals in the Wilk???? and I guess it's like the testing center in that you can go whenever you want???? I JUST DON'T KNOW

Then we come to Old Norse. I'm not *super* worried about the final itself, except that it's at........
EIGHT IN THE MORNING.

ON A SATURDAY.

why byu, why

Now that all of this is explained, I just want to share with you all my sketchbook assignments for Figure drawing because they are all the coolest and I super like them and I want the world to see them (talk to me in like five years and I'll probably tell you something about setting these on fire, such is the price of improvement or something.) In order from the ones I like least to most, here they are:

this batman wins least favourite because the background leaves much to be desired. and the preliminary sketch was way cooler than the real thing. sad day.

SUPER LONG EXPLANATION FOR THIS HERE (enjoy looking at my stanky deviantart I guess)

When my 2D professor looked at this he was like "it looks like Han Solo is having a stroke" and now I cannot unsee.

buh, I super like this one. It's based mostly on that ooc episode where Data loses his memory and gives a whole town radiation poisoning, but I changed his costume from the one he's wearing in the scene he actually gets impaled (which, ps, is a look that no one should ever wear) to his messed up uniform from when he first wanders into town.

THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE. I based it on John Bauer's "Loki Finds Gullveig's Heart" and it came out amazing...ly

I keep waiting for these assignments to finish so I can post them all together, but at this point I'm like "pft whatevs here they are" I'll come back later when our last two, He-man and the final are done, and you can see them below:
