I&#8217;ve been pretending that I know how art works since I took an introductory studio art course senior year of high school. Sometime after that I decided &#8220;Hey. You know what would be cool? Making games,&#8221; and then I packed my bags and magically teleported to WPI.<\/p>\n<p>As an IMGDTech major, I like to think that I understand how code works from time to time. While I&#8217;m not as good at programming as some of my peers, I feel confident in my abilities to figure out the answer to a problem using the mystical, magical powers of Google. But the minute we step from Software to Hardware, I have no idea what I&#8217;m doing. I want to change that. Maybe not like&#8230; a bunch&#8230; But I want to like make a circuit or something this term. Maybe.<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m not consuming games, I like to sing, act, and make funny sounds with my mouth. I&#8217;m a member of the WPI Audiophiles and I&#8217;ve been in like&#8230; one VOX show here. So yeah.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Creative Inspirations&#8230;&#8221; I honestly don&#8217;t know what inspires me creatively. My friends are probably a really big one. They&#8217;re really good walls to bounce ideas off of, even if most of the time we&#8217;re joking. Outside of that&#8230; I kind of draw some of my ideas from the Final Fantasy series for things like plot and game mechanics, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>I think my artistic goals are just to &#8220;Be Better.&#8221; I&#8217;d love to evolve on my current art style and make it a lot cleaner and more&#8230; adaptive, I guess? I want to be able to apply it to things beyond just like&#8230; being adorable.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my work:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-89\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-c17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/01\/Cow.png\" width=\"163\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This was a cow I drew for a game jam game called &#8220;Beef Cake,&#8221; where you bake cakes for cow customers.
