OMG Epic Posters

           I did this for my Graphic Design class (Usually we used Illustrator in this class) which... is very tiring. The background alone is 13 layers deep and the final is 16 layers deep. It was fun though, I also got myself a new cutting technique, which is also used for the banners below. Now, I'm gonna take a break from my designs because I had a freehand drawing in E Design class earlier. Please look forward to that work too, the main art in that work will be all freehand drawn and not traced, so it might not look THAT good.

{SoG} Website banners

I made these to website banners of my Lineage 2 Dreams clan :). The clan is called Saints of God. I sure hope one of my banners get chosen as the website's banner! I tried a new cutting technique and decide to use this technique whenever I cut people because the edges is way smoother than magic wand.

Windows 7 OWNED

Windows 7 wallpaper have been OWNED. I know I have made something similar to this before, but I lost that one... and since I'm using Windows 7 right now, because it was given with the computer, I'm gonna use this as my wallpaper!

XP forever :P, we're PWNing 7 now.

Assignment 8: Crossroads

Off-topic: to start it off... this assignment is easily the most unrealistic piece of work I've ever done.... My style is creating wacky/out-of-this-world pictures... which is very hard to make realistic.... And, this piece of work uses ideas instead of real places, because this means so much more than real places, thus making this piece of work hard to make realistic.

On-topic: The path I'm walking away is the biggest airport in Thailand... I used that to represent Thailand, my home country. The 2 paths I'm ignoring are fire, and books. I used fire to represent destruction, meaning I could ruin myself (And eventually get sent home), I used the books to represent total devotion to studying, which would be too boring ;). The path I'm waking to is covered in mist... I choose that because I usually don't plan ahead and take things as they come.

Creature shop- Asmodian assassin

The purpose of this assignment is to promote creativity and improve free-hand drawing as well as tracing. I choose this character because he is my favorite wallpaper! Also, he rarely appear anywhere so it is unlikely that anyone will have the same picture as mine. I used a whole lot of tools to create this but mostly heavy on eraser, layers, and brushes. It was very fun because I can work around with layers but it was very tiring.

Quick thought -Walking forward

          I don't know what have gotten into me, but I just feel like writing about this all of a sudden. I know this isn't scheduled and I apologize for not writing about what I should have wrote. But, I just feel like sharing and hope you guys will hear me out.

          I always believe that it is important to look back at the path you've take, but it is also important not to let it hinder your progress. That is why I don't really regret things I've done and try to always walk forward, even when walking forward is unbearably painful. Or, at times, we may have done something wrong and feel guilty about it, which is a good thing. But sometimes, one feels so guilty their mind can't take it anymore, and burst into tears. But, is it really a good thing? I don't think so, because the tears cannot change the past, and the time spent crying could be used to do things to make up for what you've done wrong.

          I am NOT saying that crying is wrong. People cry at times of sadness, depressions, despair, etc. and, at appropriate time, even I will support you if you cry. Crying is a natural process of letting things go, the express yourself, which is a beautiful process at appropriate times. But, some people ALWAYS cry, for no reason. Instead of crying, shouldn't you be trying to improve things or make a decision? Even I felt like crying a bit myself recently, but I didn't for I kind of forbade myself to crying except for some VERY appropriate cases, and have been doing it so long that it have become a semi-subconscious process, but that is another story.

          So, I am going to leave you guys with this for now.  This is one of will-probably-be-a-few serious and showing-a-little-of-the sensitive-side-of-myself passages. I tried to keep it formal, but writing formally just ain't my style. Do you have anything to share? Did you feel incredibly sad or cry lately? Let me know, and if I'm feeling up to it, I might even cheer you up. Who knows, I'm always kinda random anyways.

Signatures!

Long ago, I used to make forum signatures! I uploaded them on Photobucket (Just in case any of you saw them before) (+) (Same profile image, if you were wondering if it's me). So I decided to upload them to this blog too! Enjoy and feel free to use them.

Ethereal plain- Blending

I wanted to create a fantasy realm floating in space(?) or other dimension(see the ripples in the space BG) or whatever that is.  I used multilayer to create an illusion the the island is floating in the water. If you look carefully, you'll see that some part of the island is under the water, and under the water, is the space itself!

I learned how to use layers more effectively and learned more about tools (healing brush, etc).

I struggle with the multilayer because it is very hard to get it just right, to give the illusion that I intend it to.


I think I did pretty well and the outcome looks as wacky as I wanted it to be.

Smokey Mountain- Nightscape.

Smokey Mountain- Nightscape
1. My theme is a lonely mountain in the middle of the night, brighten only by the moonlight. The main reason I choose this theme is because I, personally, like darkness and black with a little spark of light as companionship.
2. It was very interesting and provide new ways of thinking and using the tools in the software.
3.I have done something like this before in Photoshop regarding the filters and lightning effects but I've never draw on a black canvas before.

First Assignment!

My first assignment in E Design class.

This is not only my first assignment, it is also the first image I've done free-handed. Mixture of different tools such as blur, smudge, gradient. Nothing fancy about this assignment, because I want to practice my free-handing skills (Still not very good at it.).
