– Cleaner, easier to read, not as cramped as the old one. i barely modified the actual theme. compared to the previous version (click on image below to view the unmodified version of the theme: For my main site…well there’s no progress on that at all. I’ve decided to make it non-flash, make it easier to view on mobile devices, but now can’t decide on whether to have it be responsive, floating layout, scalable, use cms, html5… blah blah blah […]

– …makes me want to revive my old multimedia project again. Also makes me realize, I haven’t done any of these in a long while (I don’t even have the files anymore…just a printout of some of the screencaps). Don’t even know where to start, I spot so many things in there that I’ve forgotten: lots of editing video footage, typographic motion, writing, lots of collages. I think this had a runtime of 10 minutes(?). File this under, things I […]

– started modifying one of the Barguest de Plumes that I just received. so far, I’ve made the shirt darker (less green); made the X on the shirt starker/brighter (wasn’t really planning to but there were dark blotchy parts to it when I washed it the night before, so sprayed some white on top to even out the color); made his right arm darker (can’t seem to make it less shiny even with dullcoat) looking at it now, I think […]

. . After a few days of thinking it’s finished (and nearly a whole month working on it), decided to tweak the illustration a bit more….I’m thinking this qualifies me as the least efficient vector illustrator in the world… the other progress pages: 1, 2, 3, 4 .

– Working with Adobe Illustrator’s gradient mesh tool is a lot more tedious and time consuming than was expected, but the results so far have been pretty good. [ The last time I’ve used the tool was back in 2003 when I worked on packaging design/illustration…that was a lot easier considering I didn’t need to make it look painterly or lifelike ] I’m working on the piece from left to right, top to bottom. I started off with one large, […]

– day 3: recolored some areas to get a bit more detail/contrast, revamped the lineart and added hair (a few times) . still need to fix the mouth, probably do it in Adobe Illustrator to get cleaner lines (next step is to make a vector version anyway) hmmm…the eyes look sadder/sleepier in the colored pencil version.
