Wow.. I finally made a layout all by myself after.. How long? A year or more? I guess it doesn't really matter.. But it's reassuring for me to know that my Photoshop 'skills' haven't completely deteriorated.. In fact, this is my first ever layout made using just the pen tool.. *gasp* Yes, I know.. How nooby of me.. But with practice I'll hopefully get better and using the pen tool to draw things like this.. But until then.. This will suffice..Now the image in the layout is how I imagine my little world.. It was supposed to be a futuristic city but then I decided I liked modern/contemporary better.. I guess that is the capital city of my little world? Then it is surrounded by land that has been untouched by humans, except for the path.. I probably should add some more nature features to it sometime.. There's also a dragon above the city.. That dragon is actually the guardian of the city, and isn't trying to burn it down or anything.. Although, it's not a fire breathing dragon anyway.. How about frost/ice breathing?
Of course there's also the little red guy.. Each one of us has a reason that keeps ups going, along this long road.. That reason is him, and he is that reason.. It's a bit complicated, plus the sentence and idea themselves aren't supposed to sound like they make complete sense.. That way it's more abstract and open to different interpretations.. A bit overthought for a simple website layout, maybe?
Anyway, that's all from me for now.. I really need to work on that Birthday Card tomorrow.. And non-stop until it is finished..

Woo! I finally have something I can make a layout with, which I've been working on until now.. I'll start on the layout once I've finished a more important project.. That more important project being Kevin's Super Awesome Pro Hip & Cool Birthday Day Card! Haha.. It's finally coming together.. I've completed all the easy scenes.. Now just to do the more difficult ones..Current Progress: 4.5 / 9 Scenes.. And that was after a full day of work.. Better get some food and get back on it or it won't be finished in time.. Plus I need Saturday morning to go bake him a cake, cookies.. Or maybe make some Egg Tarts since he seems addicted to those at the moment.. Oh, I'll think of something.. Later..
But anyway, concerning the layout.. I'm considering writing my own blogging script with comments and additional users, each with their own profile.. That might delay things by heaps.. But for now it'll be nice and simple.. Hmm..

Well, I'm back again.. And now I have some time to work on my main website.. I had an idea for it but I'm not too sure about it anymore.. I started drawing the idea in Flash but it didn't turn out as good as I hoped.. But I'll keep trying!Also, I'm working on Kevin's birthday card in Flash.. And it's really tough.. I'm trying to animate all these moments.. But when it's done, I'll be sure to upload for everyone to see my horrid animating 'skills'..
But anyway.. I was talking to Karina yesterday about random stuff and it made me remember this quote from the movie Meet Joe Black starring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins.. Read it below~
I want you to get swept away.. I want you to levitate..Follow its advice and go find your person like that.. It is a bit idealistic but still, sounds pretty nice, doesn't it?
I want you to sing with rapture, and dance like a dervish..
Be deliriously happy.. Or at least let yourself open to be..
I know it's a cornball thing..
But love is passion.. Obsession.. Someone you can't live without..
I say.. Fall head over heels..
Find someone you can love like crazy.. And who'll love you the same way back..
How do you find him?
Well.. You forget your head.. And listen with your heart..
The truth is.. there's no sense living your life without this..
To make the journey and not fall deeply in love.. Well, you haven't lived a life at all..
But you have to try.. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived..- Anthony Hopkins, Meet Joe Black (1998)
