Geonosis

So I have been quite absent with releasing new wallpapers and print pieces in 2010. In all honesty, after designing Afterburner: Commence in August of 2009, I kind of felt like I had to re-invent myself yet again to pursue a new degree and generation of digital illustration work that I display on my site. To quickly go over a history of the “reinvention” that I have done, back in 2006 I went through a designers block where I felt like my wallpaper and print design pieces have not evolved in the past 4 to 5 years. That disturbed me a lot and bothered me to a point where I significantly forced myself to acquire new Photoshop skills and the production of digital art pieces as a whole. After this initial reinvention, it resulted in quite successful pieces such as Trans Minimum: Kasha, Stridence, Eternus Somnium, Leviathan, and so on…

Of course I have had quite a success in the end of 2009 and 2010 with personal clients so that has been taking up a lot of my time. I also put together and released the film portion of Execution 4 //: The Mind Games Initiative, as well as my 3rd e-book: Hana. I have been far from dead in terms of producing work for Dream Infinity Studios, just have been slow with the result and releasing it out onto this website.

So, in the Winter of 2009, almost immediately after the release of “Nocturne Phoenix”, I went through yet another personal reinvention again to prepare myself to do a whole new direction and work flow of my digital illustration art work. After several months of hiatus in the wallpaper department, the day where you get to see my first piece of the result of new techniques and work flow comes live. I present to you Geonosis.

I also had a pleasure working with a photo piece from photographer, Jessica Truscott, who shot a quite awesome model shot included in Geonosis. You can visit her site here.

Some embrace it, some say it looks fake and for non-photographers most don’t even know what it is, but they’ve seen it and probably stopped to look twice. In this post I would like to talk about my thoughts on HDR photography and how I use them in proffesional work.

The focus of being a creative artist is mainly the creative process and it’s goal; the finished product. There are however alot of factors outside the creative process that affect you. It can be small things like never being satisfied with the thing you create or everyone’s worst nightmare – a full on creative block. As a creative artist you will know; the battle are often fought outside the actual creating. In this post, or rant rather, I will comment and share my thoughts about some of these.

Self-confidence or rather the lack there of. This is a tough one and the one I find hardest to write about, but I’ll try my best. Sometimes you have a great idea, but when you do get creative it doesn’t always turn out the way you wanted it. And this can happen because of lot of things. Maybe there’s a skillset you don’t have but need, maybe others don’t seem to fond of the idea, maybe you actually made it but it doesn’t make people respond the way you’d wanted. We could keep going, couldn’t we?

I’m also getting torched by my second year in law school and this semester will be more difficult than ever. Hopefully, I’ll be able to hang in there and survive. Hope all of you had a great start to this upcoming promising new year!

First of all, I would like to congratulate Chris for launching the version of Nocturne Phoenix. The selective coloring of the layout is very unique and nicely designed. Overall, a great accomplishment and another step to the development of Dream Infinity!

As for myself, I have been juggling four classes in my second year of law school, as well as running my Photoblog at the same time. Photography has really become a stress reliever for me along with music. Besides taking photos on a consistent basis, I have started playing the piano again for leisure. The stress of being in graduate school has undoubtedly given me more time to manage my life positively.

It seems to me that my days as a student will live forever. However, at the same time, due to this hectic economy, maybe it is better to be a student for now. I do value the opportunity that life has given me to become a prospective attorney in the near future. Hopefully, it will be rewarding. Good luck everyone else and I wish them the best in their future endeavors!
