Sophomore year was a blast. Way more fun than freshman year. A lot more animation work got done and a lot less drawings were made (which is sad (about the drawings)).
Let me just dump it all out.

One thing I need to clear up right off the bat. You see where it says "Concept Development II" for one of my classes? I didn't put stuff from "I" in the first semester, because all of my assignments that came out of that class were absolute trash. I hated all of it. We were being introduced to storyboarding and creating animatics, and I was having trouble figuring out what the teacher wanted specifically. I could see some readers being sad, because they can't see me in my bad state, but even if I wanted to show you, I wouldn't know where to find the files. I don't think I bothered saving them for myself. I just wanted to forget the whole thing. Luckily, I think I hit my stride this year.
It might've been because I changed from storyboarding on Photoshop to storyboarding on Animate. I figured out that if I want to animate on Photoshop, it's better to only use it to make frames prettier and add awesome effects. Flash still works better for me in roughing out everything, despite all the learning I made myself undergo to animate in Photoshop.
Besides that, I definitely feel like I latched onto a style this year that could benefit me in terms of speed. In terms of exploring art direction in each of my projects, it might end up hurting me. But that's all. Hope you enjoy. I can't think of much more to say. I'm tired. It's 2am. I started waking up early because I notice I work better in the mornings. Any questions? Comment. You know the drill.
Good night :)
