Re-connected And…

Unfortunately, I couldn’t make this post until my internet was revived from the depths and given back to my computer. ((AKA, I was internetless for awhile after I got back)). I planned on writing something way back last Sunday to accomodate coming back but found myself out of time and out of er “internetz”. I’m very happy to be rehooked with the internet and my online friends.

Reminder to peoples that the iPhone came out today. I’ll find someone I know and play on their’s and put a post up about it.

AND…

some practice stuff.

I did this one awhile back as a practice and hadn’t put it up. It was also when I discovered a new path that you could take before you applied a layer mask. :P

This didn’t have much effort put into it since it was a first attempt at putting two photos together. ((I’ll probably do one with more effort soon))

This had even more effort than the above one but still didn’t have much done to it. =/.

((Note: I know it’s been awhile since I’ve done an anime review and I’m sorry. I’ve been too busy to be able to do multiple anime at a time and neither been able to organize notes. I’ll get one up by the end of the summer though! I promise! >: D))

New CG workings

Please note, before I show you the selected workings, that all major techniques that I’m using currently were developed by Storymode from www.storymode.wordpress.com and that all credit for the base stuff and technique goes to him and his skill. I’d also like to note that these 3 pieces were done from 2 anime series. Lucky Star (currently airing on JP TV and getting fansubbed) and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Now licensed and no longer creating episodes for).

Now, let the viewing commence! ^_~

I liked how this one came out particularly well. The font seems to kinda fit but I wasn’t as content as I could’ve been if I had found some cool staticy looking font….

I also liked this one but I’m not sure how it really looks off the drawing board. ((especially with it darkened like that)). I’m kind of worried about it’s quality thanks to a couple decisions I made. Meanwhile, the red lines, I think, look pretty cool…

This one wasn’t very much of “quality work” because I didn’t really do much to it. In other words, it’s kind of unsatisfying to me and it didn’t seem very special compared to some other practice pieces I have done over the last week.

I plan to get some more stuff done and put it up after I complete the rest of my plan for those future posts. This is still more like a journal of my progress as I keep posting. Since I’m interested in seeing growth of skill like I have seen other people be able to do.

((Note: I will be gone for 10 days for classified reasons and won’t be online whatsoever. So zero activity will be going on around here starting Friday.))

The Start of my practice of CG art

Since I now have embarked into becoming better at CG art and developing my own styles like my teacher has himself. Before I display my beginner Hotto Suru er banners or avatars I guess I’m going to recognize my teacher. I think a few of you may have visited his blog before: www.storymode.wordpress.com . He has taught me his very special and very unique technique that you can see in many of his workings. Even though he probably just loves me publicizing him like this on a fairly small blog that barely has any visitors I still like to do it whenever he is worthy of the celebrity appearance. so note that all technique in these 3 banner (things) come from EtherFuture Designs which will be featuring a small domain , possibly, in the near future. Although it isn’t determined.

I dont think this one came out very well. It just seems…blunt…not very nice looking and too much brush work.

I think this one came out best just because the glow makes it look spiffy. (and “godly” if you know what I mean.)
