Nightly update2

Still going, I was having a great time working on this ...until Photoshop decided to crashed on me...damn it all!!, lost almost two hours worth of work, NOte to self, SAVE often. I wonder if there 's an auto save in photoshop. that would have help. anyways, the light source are clearly defined so it should be easier to work with. until next time, I'm out and gone.

Lets Link UP.

Isn't the Moon wonderful? Isn't she adorable? Wish I have a cat or two to keep me company.

I lost all the links from my previous blog, if anyone wants to links up feel free to leave me your name and your site's name. The more the marrier.

Nightly Updates

this one looks a bit more like me..

Useful notes

-life isnt about being single or not, its about be happy with you, and your life
-I WOULD RATHER BE ALONE THAN TO BE WITH SOMEONE AND BE LONELY.

-Once your heart has been broken, it takes a long time to recover. No one ever seems to measure up to the person you let hurt you. That is the time that you need to work on yourself and grow as a person but not try to replace the person who left you. That never seems to work.

Once you have moved on and have stopped thinking about the last one and have built up a healthy happy lifestyle, that is usually when someone new comes into your life. If you force it, it won't happen.

With that said, I think it depends upon where your heart is at as to whether it is better to be with someone than to be single. I'd rather be alone than be in a bad relationship or grieving for a failed relationship. I'd rather be growing and improving as a person first. Emotionally healthy people are naturally attracted to each other and their relationships tend to last.

-It's better to be alone then with the wrong person. WAY too many people are with someone they don't even really like just to not be alone.
-I'd rather be single and wait for the right one, then settle for someone who I wouldn't be happy with just because I don't want to be alone. I've been there done that....
-Its way better to be single than settle for someone just to have someone. But if you are with a person who is truly compatible with you, that's better than being single.
-We are human and make mistakes. We have past relationships so that future ones can be better. The thing to remember is that the past is past and there isnt anything we can do about it but learn from it.

Back to Grey Scale

Waala!! quick color overly..works great..

Trying new technique. I can paint much faster in grey scale then i can with color. the forms are so much easier to work with and see. Note the one on the right is a colored one converted to grey scale with no touch up, while the one on the left I spent a few minutes on it and the forms are already poping. light sources are so much easier to see. ...i think i know what im talking about....lalala
Interesting weekend, My roomate and I went to Phoenixcomicon..down in Mesa, this weekend and I ran into an old old old school friend. back in jr high. who is a comic book artist. unfortunately i couldn't remember him. but it was a little hard since he shave his head. he rememebered that we used to draw together. Its nice to know that there are people out there friends or not that still remembers me. more connections. heh, hopefully we can hang out and catch up on life. He told me that he's got two kids and married...dang. I m way behind..

Then we went to Todd's for a while. went out to dinner at some really nice restrerunt near MCC. Then we went out and got drunk at some bar. With a little help from our friend Alcohol, we managed to get enough courage and went up to talk to a few bar girls. It was nice to just hang out and catch up on life and have a few drinks. at 2 am we headed home..girl less of coure..damn. oh well next time.

Getting back to Photoshop

I was watching the new Gnomon video and was inspired to get back to working on this piece. I needed to define a clear light source and know whats what... I haven't done anything in Photoshop in almost 2 moths so its takes alittle getting used to :). but shouldnt' be too long.

Hello and Welcome.

Nothing like a fresh start. Its a little empty right now but give it time and it will grow into a magnificent tree.. May the new begining bring joy and memories.
Here's a picture of my previous completed work. stay tune.
