Ive been playing around with photomanips for a rather long time, coming to several years... of course I take breaks in between and don't push out a new manip every day, but wow I cant believe Ive stuck to it for so long. :)

Anyway I like to view my gallery from most recent to oldest every now and then, and I feel I've learnt a lot about manips all this time.

I do hope to keep improving my manips though, and hence, I've decided to ask the manip pros on deviantart to view my stuff and hopefully give me some constructive feedback and tips. :)

I'll be posting whatever advice I get here for sharing purposes. To be honest, Im quite nervous about asking these manip gods to take a look at my stuff, but here goes! :D

Hi all!

I've been off deviantart for a PRETTY LONG time again, since my previous deviation which was 1.5 months ago. :P What can I say... My life outside of army has been consumed by two extremely addictive games... Blackshot (an FPS, although I cant quite understand why I would play something army related outside of the army :P) and FIFAAAAA (seeing that its the world cup season, thats understandable).

Needless to say, these two games have been keeping my weekends quite occupied and I havent been photomanipulating much at all. I do have some incomplete but close to completed works in my storage, perhaps I would post them in the near future... But I always feel like theres something more to be done for those pieces.

LAST MAJOR REASON why Im not photomanipulating much... is cause Im trying to make the jump to [DIGITAL PAINTING]. Yes... I got a wacom tablet for my birthday, and digital painting really intrigues me as it gives u more freedom to create a piece as compared to manips, where you are restricted by the stocks. I have totally no experience in drawing or traditional mediums, but Im doing my best to learn the fundamentals first! I've got two practice works which I will be posting in the week(s) to come, and hope to hear some feedback.

Till then, everyone keep safe and stay healthy! :)

PS: if you are a digital painter, could you share with me some techniques? or how you got to your current skill level? Thanks!

I'm wondering if any of the people I met here still come online... if you are, do drop by to say hello! :D

Sooo I'm all alone in camp now doing military duty. Sounds important and all, but truth is I'm just sitting in this office taking phone calls and five minute power naps. Not that I'm an office boy haha, I'm actually an armored vehicle commander (how cool is that!)

The main objective for today is to keep myself from getting bored. If any of you can recommend some good music, it would really help! :) that's all for now, I'll be drifting off to one of my naps for now...

Hey all!

Haven't done a journal in a looong time. Recently I have been real busy with school work, and havent had much time to play with photoshop.

Sad to say, I seem to have run dry on ideas and cannot think of any for photomanips :(  So its kinda like this nowadays: I start photoshop, browse some stocks, import them, play around, and thats that! Cant seem to carry on with any meaningful concepts.

SO, I wanna ask for some ideas!!! :D Not sure if anyone will reply to this, heck if nobody does I wont be sad, sniff sniff. BUT, if u r willing to help, just post as many ideas as u can as long as (1) The concept has a story behind it and (2) Its related to the landscape and nature theme (my fav!). Even if its not, just post it anyway. ^^

If I do manage to complete the photomanip based on your idea, then it would be dedicated to YOU! YES YOU! But honestly, I dont know if I'm good enough to have anyone want a dedication, we'll see how it goes! :)

Thats all for now!

Cheers,

Tron

1 min read
Hi all,

Tron came out about two days ago, and its really awesome!!!!! The cg effects are disgusting, and the soundtrack from daft punk is really fantastic. Overall, a very epic movie.

Since watching the movie, I have become somewhat obsessed with the Tron world, for example, the futuristic environment, landscape, architecture, and atmosphere of the whole place. I get that sort of feeling when I look at scifi works and stuff.

Yeah so I started this group called Tron-The-Arena, for any works of art related to Tron and the movie.

Here's the link: tron-the-arena.deviantart.com/

The group is really new so we are looking for new members. If you want to get connected with such people, or collect wallpapers etc, please join the group. O, and do spread the word around so that we can gather a community.

Thast's all for now and Merry Christmas all!


Cheers,
Llamacria
