Walking up the next path
1 year 10 months ago
Hello,

I've come to decide that I won't really make graphics much anymore. Just found something that I'm more passionate about however that doesn't mean I'll quit completely. Dear me, no. However I'll be making two more wallpapers as promised in my last entry in my journal. Might drop a wallpaper here and there but I won't be posting them here. Those I'll be doing on a different website. I'll post a link later so you can keep up with my other works if you enjoy my stuff. So till my last additions ;).

Have a nice day.

About Me

Hello. You can call me Charli. I got into graphics because I found it to be a beautiful way to be expressive and portray something that I imagined. Making wallpapers is my way of venturing into my imagination and exploring it and Photoshop is my tool to bringing it here in what we call reality. People are stimulated by many things in our world music, books, visual, feeling, touching, etc, etc. My wallpapers are a way of sharing something that is a part of me. So my belief is when one gets into visual media the person's emotions, philosophies, life become intertwined almost instinctively without even realizing it. Therefore it becomes them. Thats why I create walls. Why I chose animated films is purely because it's different and beautiful. Animation is a re-creation of reality full of differences. Animation creates a world that is apart from reality in its own right. That is why I like working with it. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy the world around me. Life is a blessing and a gift. Cherish it and possibilities will become infinite.

So there's a little piece of the puzzle for you ^_^. Have a nice day.

Yeah, i'm not that fond of the scan either, but it was the easiest scan to extract and i was already feeling uber lazy after finishing the background :O


Chaox
Did you paint that with a mouse or a tablet? If you say mouse you'd better give me some pointers XD lol. Great job once again ;).


Mouse. I don't have a tablet.


Here's my little secret. Instead of using a mousepad, I place a rough rug underneath the mouse. its a little hard at first, but once you get used to it, its easier to control the mouse. by making the mouse less wobbly and more stable with the use of "friction", its able to create shapes unlike no other. :)

hope that helped. :) and i hope you can add me back. :)

Hello,

I would like to say thank you for your kind comment. I find peace of mind when I create wallpapers using artwork that interests me and sometimes express's how I feel inside myself and sometimes how I see things. I do wish to make my work as accurate as possible. Again thank you for your comment. It was very much appreciated. I've always enjoyed your work and seeing each piece get increasingly more splendid then the last. Look forward to your next masterpiece ;).

Have a nice day.


Hey there! I didn't expect you to be dropping by my page. XD You and Gat's wall on Ghost in the Shell were awesome, and congratulations you won xD hehe.

Yes yes, I get what you mean when you say that an artwork is like a window to the artist's soul, I try to apply the same ideals too when I wall, becoming honest and raw with my works. XD


Chaox
I've always enjoyed your work and seeing each piece get increasingly more splendid then the last. Look forward to your next masterpiece ;).


Wow. XD I didn't know you actually checked them out! Since I don't really have that much friends online lolz, so I thought just about anyone passes them by lolz. But eitherway, thanks. Thank you and that means a lot coming from an artist such as yourself.


I can also see that you have a fav worthy gallery, w00t, added to friend's list. I wanna watch your next pieces. :)
I'm ransacking your gallery at this point. XD


Bye and God bless!

GET RID OF TEH damn TEXTURE! LOL X3


trust me, i never use texture all over unless i need to.
the ONLy reason it's there, is because the scans had such a paper-painted texture, that when i put them in with the rest f the wall, it looked like paper people standing around. which in itself, could have been cool, but totally not what i was going for. so i found a similar texture, and put it on the rest of the wall to flatten it out and make it all cohesive.
without it, it looks like i fucked up big time lol

but thanks for the comment and fav <3 emoticon

Looks like you won Chaox (like I didn't know that was gonna happen :P)
What I got to say about your wall is that you picked a scan that I past off as none detailed and uninteresting, but it is a good scan and has a lot of I guess Chaos in it? :) I love the lighnting and the city on fire in the bg, i=evrything looked realy cool good job!

I gues as they say "keap your friends close and your enemies closer" so I will add you to my friends list XD jk jk.

Hello,

XD I'll only be repeating what everyone else has already said. This wallpaper is simply beautiful. I have another question for you. How long have you been drawing? I'm curious to know since I'm starting to get myself into drawing again. Got any pointers besides the ole "practice practice and some more practice" XD? I love the whole idea. Really inspires me to learn to draw to create my own worlds like this ^_^. Must fave since I'm just so in love with it XD LOL. Ciao!

TTFN - Ta ta for now.


Hey there, thanks for your generous comments. :D

As for the drawing bit, I find it helpful to look at many examples of references pertaining to whatever it is you're drawing. For this piece, I looked at some stock photos of trees and rocky cliffs to get a general idea of what I wanted. Once you get a mental image going, it's pretty much all downhill from there.

Hope that helps! :P
