Just a slight Journal entry and a heads up. Few things first.

- I'm going to try and work on some basic web templates, which I will put up here and offer them for sale. Nothing too fancy or expensive.

- I've been doing freelance web design so far and have really taken a liking to it. I haven't really gotten paid much yet. Did a website for an Aion fansite which I got $50 (and I will get a portion of its earnings as well) and I've got a couple of projects someone wants me to do once he figures them out.

What have I been up to? Going into my Junior year of College at Pittstate, which starts next week. I also got a new apartment and it has become clear to me that a job would be a very wonderful thing :). In my free time I've sort of been studying up on web design, which the hardest part for me is just learning the coding. I have most of the HTML/CSS down, and I can use javascript frameworks with some practice.


I should also mention that if anyone is interested in a web page feel free to contact me at Nadril.zhc@gmail.com . It will cost, of course, and the cost will be entirely up to what you need on it, how large it is and what it is for.

The biggest thing is I want to get more active here on DeviantART again, possibly, although I doubt most of you guys even remember me (: or care.

Finally, does anyone have any recommendations for a tablet and a site to buy one at. I want to get one, and a decent one (like intuos line or something) but I don't want to have to spend a ton on it. Just wondering if anyone knows of any good deals. I really want one so I can get some logos done and get into digital painting a bit. I enjoyed drawing back in the day as a kid, but I never really learned how to actually "draw", I usually would just draw things I saw from a reference.

First of all, yes I am alive and working on stuff. I'm getting back into the 'grove' of things by working on smaller signatures first. Make no mistake once I get an interesting idea I'll run with it for a larger piece to put on DeviantART.


Just wanted to let you guys know :).

So as many of you probably have noticed, well, I haven't been and really posted anything of value in like a year. Over this time I've mostly just been sort of relaxing, taking a break from art if you would.

However now college is starting up. My old one didn't work out well and I'm at a new college, with a good friend of mine as well. I'm still going after the same kind of degree and even in this first year I already have 3 classes related to the degree, one which is the 'basics' of the various programs we will be using. (haha).


The point is though is that I probably will be doing (more) stuff now. i don't really want to say that as a garentee but I'm hoping I will be.


Looking over at my page its amazing how much has changed. I'm looking at something from 2 years ago that is "yay, 5k page views". Now I have 13k. Looking over what I did in the past its kind of funny considering where (I think, at least) I am now.


So what am I going to work on? Well, the first thing I'd love to do is more 3D. I want to get into programing as well more so anything I can incorporate into what I make would be great. You can also bet yourself that I will (hopefully) be working on more landscapes and really just anything that I feel like doing, as usual.


This time around I want to try and give a different focus on what I'm doing and not rush out stuff as much. Hopefully my classes will motivate me to do so.


Finally I hope you guys haven't forgotten about me :P. I want to try and get a bit more active in this community soon agin, and I notice I have thousands of deviations and messages I have missed.



cheers =)

Bah, school.

I'm back in school, and, to be more exact college. My first year and I can say it's going interesting so far.


So, my gallery. I haven't submited a thing yet, and noticing from my journals I said I was "back" three times, hah!

Either way, when I get around to doing something i'll, you know, do it. But until then i'll continue being my lazy self, yeah..


Anyways, I have a 2D design class here, so I may (hopefully, probaly) be posting some stuff I have to do for that class here, once we get to the good stuff.


Eh anyways, gotta get to class now.

Well, I finaly released something new. Yay.

However, it's not enough for 'meh. I want to do something bigger, better, and just overall cooler. I've seen what can be done with terragen and, from what i've seen compared to other's raw terragen renders, mine are at least 'up there'. However, this is raw renders. What I don't compete in is the post-process deal.

What do I want to do with it? I wanna be able to get some more post processing work in there. A LOT more. You could say i've been looking up to alyn's terragen pieces (with their intense ammount of post-process work in them) because that's what I want to do.


Anyways, I've gotten back into Lineage II (retail) with my friend again. 2 weeks of playing and we are already both lvl 41, crazy. I've been spending time every once and a while to make a little sig, but I haven't realy had any 'ideas' to do something large with. Hell, the thing I submited was more of a technical piece than an artistic one.

I have a few idea's floating around my head still, however, that (with post processing) could be awsome. Hell, i've had one idea that i've known for a bit but just have never had the technique down to do it!


So, do tell me, any thoughts on how to get started with this post processing on my work? I can work fine with photoshop (3+ years with it) but when it comes to blending together stuff I generaly fail.
