Happy Halloween!

Wassup everybody~~~

Been a freaking long time since my

last post... (✖╭╮✖)

I'm sorry!!!

Sophomore was hard, but the second semester

was... unbelievable.Too many homework and

tests at the same time!!

-sobs- (/ _ ; )

So anyways!

I'm back for Halloween~

And to make up for the lack of posts,

I'm going to post some of the tutorial I've

learned! There are a lot of tutorials out there,

but most of them are.. hard. FML.

ヽ(　￣д￣;)ノ

Basically, I'm having my tutorials from here and here.

But, the biggest help was from PHLEARN's tuts!

His tuts are easy enough to understand, and he's doing

it step by step, so even a noob like me can do something

(though it's not as good as what he did OTL)

This is the result!!

TA-DAAAAH!!  

(´▽`ʃƪ)♡

Basically what I did was copy-paste-ing few things:

After copying everything, I was playing with
Liquify, making the layer being an Overlay or
Screen and Brush tools + Masked layers.
Using Dodge/Burn/Smudge tools for  the last
finishing and to smooth it up. Oh! and using
the Hue/Saturation and Curve layer as
adjustments to add up the Darkness level.


Here are the tutorial I used:ヘ（。□°）ヘ
 
How to do the Skull face:
by DLMGraphics
How to add Fire (Ch1) and Copying the eyes (Ch4):
by Dark Book of Photoshop  


Oh right! This is another result of following
the trial of Good and Evil (using the pic of
Carson Lueders):

The tutorial is easy to follow, and instead of making
it half-good and half-bad, you can make it
all-bad for this Halloween! XD 


So yeah, that's all!
Hope this post helps! ~

10 Things!

HEEEEEYY WASSUP!!!

Finally I do a real blog post!! HAHA

*Clap clap clap*

But wait! Before I start, kindly click my

Nuffnang ads above yo! Sankyuuu! =D

So yeah, maybe you ask, why I name this post

"10 Things!"?

Actually, after a loooong time absence without 

any updates, I feel lazy to post those updates one

by one..  so I post 'em all in this post! also, rather

than posting all of the pictures, I decided to post

a few only, but still represents what's going on..

So.. Let's start, shall we?! XD

So, few months ago I kept saying on my posts

and also on facebook about MMK. It's a kind of

 a small band actually, but with a lot of singers,

and a few playing music instruments. We tried

to combine Chinese music instruments with

Western one, and form a new kind of band LOL

On July 24th, we have to perform at Kelenteng,
to celebrate it's birthday. It's our first time
to perform, and there are many of us who has
this as their first performance. So.. you can
imagine how bad it was, plus we were like so
nervous LOLOL. Fortunately we only sang
1 song: 全世界我最喜歡你 (可是你都不知道).
It's a Taiwanese Song, and it's so catchy! HAHA

So yeap, those are the pictures! - There are 10
people as singers, and we have Unggul as
pianist, Reki as bassist, Albert as Er Hu (二胡)
player and your dearest, me, as guitarist (altho
I'm just an amateur) LOL

Still with MMK! (Since it was summer and I don't

have anything to do LOL). We have to perform

again on Aug 5th haha! Since it's the second

time now, most of us are getting used to it, and

we perform better! This time, we sang 2 songs:

still with 全世界我最喜歡你 (可是你都不知道) and

Sempurna (It's and Indonesian song but we sang

the Chinese version by Nicholas Teo)

Ironically, this was also my last time to perform

with them.. aaah, good times, good times!

I can't wait to come back and meet the more

"professional" them! HAHA :{D

back to Taiwan! just a week after I'm back, I

already wandered around! haha (should grab

the chance before my life is all about crazy

exams and homework y'kno). and of course!

I wandered together with CCUISA, yo~~ =D

Our destination was 蘭潭! Nothing special actually,

but what makes it cool is something-like-bridge-

with-its-lights-turn-on ! HAHA! There were 10

of us who went there, and that was.. FUN BD

Still in September, still with CCUISA, and still

wandering around! LOL this time our destination

were a lot of places, but I'll just show you one!

(it was because in the next destinations the wind

was so strong and my face look like shit LOL)

This place shows how Hios are made, and

I think it's quite interesting~ but still the best

thing that we still can camwhore there LOL

Ahoi, it's September 21st!! It's my birthday!

HAHA ♥ I want to thank my parents for

raising me until I'm this big, and special

thanks to my mom, for bearing with this little

bastard for such a hard 9 months! Thanks

Mom, thanks Dad! 我愛你們 ♥

So this is my second time I celebrated my

birthday in Taiwan! not only CCUISA help me

celebrated it.. the girls also bought me a gift!!

super shock!! It's a One Piece puzzle erhmehgerd ♥

Thanks guys for everything, you guys make my

birthday become a blast!! XD

Right after I celebrated my birthday, another

event comin' up! It's an event for CCUISA

where the freshmen introduce themselves to us, 

seniors, and then we eat together. The freshmen also

have to perform something, either singing, dancing,

playing guitar or anything~ :P

This year we only have 2 new CCUISA

freshmen.. yep, just 2 T__T but still!!

Welcome to CCUISA! hope you guys enjoy

your time with us for the next years,

let's make memorable memories together!

=D

Last story in September!! And it's about....

EATING !!! MWAHAHAHAHAH XD

On Sept 30th, together with two seniors of

CCUISA - Ko Ronald and Ko Tempe - we

went to eat MEATS ♥ Only for 329 NT,

we can order a lot of things, and eat until

full, plus ice cream! So good, ah? LOL ♥

Confirm, I gain a lot of WEIGHT!! HAHA

Anyhow, I had a lot of fun! I really hope I

can go there again for New Year LOL

Finally, October come! Wow, so fast isn't it =.=

When October comes, there also comes..

Summer Camp (宿營)! I kinda waiting for it to

come, because this is my first time being a

member of the committee for the camp!

It's a camp held by 僑聯 for overseas freshmen,

and they hope by doing this the freshmen

will know each other, and the seniors will know

their juniors too. But since I'm just a design

member, I didn't appear that much on these

camp (not that I complain tho LOL)

The camp was being held at 高雄~ Nice

place actually, but tbh, it's not suitable for

this summer camp LOL the place is like, so

small, and when we do a BBQ at the night,

the place was so dark I can barely see anything.

But however! It was fun! I had fun playing my

first time as a "chaser"  in "Running Man"!

Not a real Running Man though, just a replica

LOL :P

Ah yeah, after my birthday, there were also

a lot of CCUISA members who celebrates

their birthday! The list goes below!

The last but not the least... My recent updates!

As you might know, I'm currently in midterm-

week.. While everybody else is busy preparing

for exams and studying, I'm here.. Photoshopping

my pictures and blogging LOL!

I'm sick of studying, I can't even get one thing

in my mind. Sophomore is such a hard year ಠ_ಠ

I don't understand a single thing the teacher

talks about in class, moreover doing the homework.

My life is so messed up (ʃ˘̩̩ε˘̩ƪ)

Anyway, you can see my hair there.

I cut the bangs by myself, and you can see.

It's... messed up. LOLOL

Ah! Besides studying a lot of crap theories,

I also studying about Phothoshop leh HAHA

These, are the projects I've done since

September~ Including some of the designs

I did for 宿營.

The next I'm going to show you are the things

I did when I don't have anything to do.

(Well, actually I have, but I just didn't know what

to do with my super-hard homework).

Last words!! (Finally!)

Wherever you are,

whoever you are,

whatever happened to you,

STAY STRONG!!

=D

 To all of my friends who's going to have

midterm like me:

期中考加油!!

祝大家 ALL PASS!!

XD

Small updates..

Awritee!! it's been ... a month since I last blogged! *guilty conscience*

It's not like I don't want to blog, or dunno what to blog about.. (hell yeah, I have a lot of things to be blogged inside my head!)...

But it's all because I was damn busy!!

A lot of things come one after another, I don't even have time to read Inheritance (now, just mention it after a half month I had the book!)

See? For a bookworm like me, who's been starved for Inheritance since Brisingr came out years ago, not to finish it in a go?

pheew, that sad feeling when you have the book but can't read it... T___T

and what makes me write this short updates?

actually these past few days I've been doing a lot of things, and a lot of them are mistakes, both in words and action.

this blog post is to pour all the
madnesswrong things inside of me, and to start a new, normal, and happy day LOL

maybe this is just a feeling, but I felt a lot of better after writing down a lot of things! ahahhaha

to end this post!

I'm gonna post my latest project! ahahaha

So.... till next time, after I do my hws.. and tests!! xD

See! Inheritance!! >___<

Good luck to all of you!
Wish everything will go smoothly!
^^

Past Works

Was just browsing through my past works. And I found this.

I made this and enter it to an inside school competition.

The reason? Of course because of the prize lol (First place gonna get an External HD!)

I've won it once (well only got third place) and I got 4GB Kingston flashdisk and an optical mouse. The past entries were look like this (see the last three pics).

So, when the competition is being held again, I decided to try my luck again, and I was actually happy to find a chance to sharpen my PS skill.

I still remember how hard I work my ass off to create this (with a lot of tests and HWs as obstacles, not to mention my very ugly PS skill at that time. and not to mention my bad taste of design!! ><).

And you know what? the same condition goes the same this time.

I made it a week before final exam.

And with lack of sleep, somehow I managed to finish it on time, and on the last minute.

What made me shocked, was that they prolonged the deadline!! (and I had been such in a rush.. -___-)

But that's still ok. Really really ok. Totally fine.

What made me pissed off was because the competition was just CANCELED because they don't have a lot of participants!! (I guess only 3 who sign up?)

And they don't tell me that they canceled it. I knew it after a month or more and I asked them directly.

Can you imagine it?!!

When you have worked your ass out, dare to dump your HWs and tests, PS-ing all the pics one by one, finally satisfied with your hard work, only to find that they're worthless!!

....so sad.

Well anyway, these are what I made.

The front cover

The back cover

What's over is over yeah~

Gonna sharpen my PS skill again!!

First drawing in 2012!!

TRIAL AND ERROR AHEAD!!

Well, be glad, even if there's loooong absence, my blog will never die trololol

and like my blog, a COMIC which will never die too is... CHINMI!!

It's been like years ago since I read my first comic of Chinmi's stories, and my heart still throbs with excitement whenever I read Chinmi.

Too bad there are not a lot of scanlator groups who are translating Chinmi.. T____T
