I've been M.I.A. for an obscenely long time and I think I've worn out my turns in apologizing for that. Instead, I'll show you what I've been up to in between the hectic work, social, and getting-ready-for-college schedule. The reason for the title of this topic is because I've been posting more so on another forum (local automotive community) than I've ever on here. Very naughty, indeed. You'll see some work I've done for the members and staff there in the bunch, too. I've probably posted up some of the following but, let's just call this a re-cap. And, I'd like to stress that I'm always open to work opportunities and proposals so, feel free to contact me at any time.













































I followed a tutorial to do the button.








I followed a tutorial doing this one, doesn't look exactly like it, though.


My work for RACE850.com members and staff.

That's one heck of a way to show you are back, great work ^^. Glad to see you back.

OMG CAT.

YOU'RE SO AWESOME.

Is that game case for that Wii game for real??

And welcome back. We r luff yew.

Your design is wonderful! Are you going to college to go on studying design?

I took IT classes during high school for all the design fundamentals but, I plan on doing International Marketing and Computer Science as my major(s)/minor. I would of liked to have gone to an art institute however, I do not have that kind of money.

Does that mean you just learned to do all that on your own?!! I'm actually taking some digital art classes and they don't even teach us anything close to that. Ack i hate college...

Not necessarily; classes are there to formally teach how the program(s) in use works. I can only encourage the practice of doing online tutorials because that's the best way to develop and/or polish your skills. I, myself, am a tutorial freak. You eventually take ideas/techniques from those lessons and use them in your future work. But, whatever you do, do not take those classes for granted. They can be boring, mediocre, or filled with things you already know of, however, there's still curriculum that should be taken seriously. You aren't going to be a megasuper-Photoshop-star in a couple of days. I've only been working with Photoshop for two years and I'm always changing my style day-by-day. By no means, should you be stuck in one trend when working with digital media; times change just like everything else and the times have always called for versatility. I stress on that. The lack of diversity in one's work and abilities is the downfall for many digital media designers.
