New Smilies!

I forgot how much I enjoyed to pixel :) About a week ago I was thinking of re-designing some smilies for the site since the ones I was using and had for download were pretty old, well last night I did. I really like how they turned out and I am currently using the multi-color set :D! Below are all of the sets available, and I was thinking of doing more (maybe ones with speech bubbles, some animated) and maybe add a few more emoticons to the sets :)

They are available for download here :) Let me know if you use them, would love to link those who do :D And if you have any suggestions for the current set or another set let me know :) Also only made them in a few different colors, but feel free to request a color.


What I’ve Been Making

I’m a horribly distracted person. My days consist of lots of “I should blog today” or “hey that vlog I was going to do 5 weeks ago yeah I should do that” … it doesn’t happen. I got Fable 3 this week and have been playing it on the xbox. School work = distracting (but in a good way I guess?) and of course lots and lots of World of Warcarft :D! But, I thought I’d blog before my next class to show what I have been making in my classes! Personal note ~ work is good, family is good, boyfriend and I broke up over a month ago, and I already met someone else. Woot. On to the artsy stuff!

I don’t have anything from my figure drawing class because all of my work stays in the classroom in my huge sketchbook so I’ll have photos of those at some point.

Graphic Design 2

This class is also about typography and one of our recent projects was creating a font! In the spirit of Halloween I made a font I call “A Bloody Mess”. We had to at least do the main alphabet and it’s an actual working font which is installed on my laptop :D I’ll slowly post the rest of the projects here too :)

Digital Photo Imaging

We use a film camera but we edit images in photoshop. Image below was 2 projects ago, we had to mess with shutter speed (either fast or slow) and I experimented with a slow shutter speed to make images look ghostly. Below are two of the images of me in a graveyard (don’t worry, I wasn’t dancing on the tombstones or anything!) Click each image for a larger view on my Deviant Art account.

My next project for this class is where we have to have about 10 prints, and for mine I am going to make a graphic novel/Sin City thing to it. A friend and her boyfriend are going to help me out and I am going to make it look like he’s killing her :D I’m excited for this one! I shall try to blog/post as the project goes along because it’s a month long process.


We’re All Mad Here



Welcome to Wonderland, where the tea is tasty and everyone is mad :) I went home at the beginning of May for about a week and half and while there I randomly had the idea to make an Alice inspired layout. After many days of messing in photoshop with the illustrations and many weeks coding I am finished! I may still tweak some of the colors here and there (I can’t seem to get the annoying blue border around the thumbnails in the sidebar to go away), but other than I am very pleased with it :) I loved my last layout but it’s Summer time and I want something bright and happy. And I love Alice in Wonderland so it fits (I still need to see the new one by Tim Burton!).

Also notice the spiffy font at the top, an Alice font. I love plugins. Sadly, I have another idea for another layout too … but at the rate it takes me to make and code them it won’t be up for awhile ;) Let me know what you think about the layout and any errors you may see. Also let me know if you saw the new Alice in Wonderland movie, it comes out on DVD Tuesday so I may pick up a copy of it :)
