Finally Fulfilling a dream!

Hiya folks! How you're doing?

For the ones who still don't know, I'm at college now, I entered this past September 1. So yeah, that's why I haven't even passed by on dA in these  weeks. 

I've been so busy with the school in these days! It's the first time I'm not worrying about finish a homework so one of my teachers can see it tomorrow, when I have a free moment for myself. 

You know, I've never thought it would be this difficult, I haven't slept in 3 days because of the homework I need to finish from a day to the next! (so if I say something that sounds And yeah, that doesn't feel good =P... But well, that's the school, specially in this level of "university". we are no longer in junior high, here we need to search for almost every subject ourselves, that's one of the reasons why so much homework. 

 And yeah, of course I feel tired, I feel a bit like a zombie XD...yet I feel so happy oh my! :D How you can feel happy and tired at the same time, that's so amazing and bizarre! XD But it has a explanation! It's because, what I'm seeing at the school it's fascinating, and interesting, entertaining, and it's why if even if it's a lot of stuff to do, I feel happy and with energy to do it.

Also, not only the themes are interesting, but also my teachers are stupendous, and for what I've seen, my classmates are nice people too :) I'm still impressed I must say, cos it's the first time I see people who are nice with each others, my classand no, it's not a joke, it's true! 

I think...well I don't want to "put the salt on" as mexicans would say, you know, there's a Mexican saying states that if you say something it's going good you attract "the salt" the bad luck XD ...but yeah...I feel everything at college it's going great so far...even I would dare do say....tha I feel I've finally found a place I belong ^^...Where I feel happy, and inspired, I think it's cos I feel stimulated mentally and spiritually;

Cos my classmates are interesting, I've realized that we all have a lot of stuff in common! And as I said, also my teachers are awesome! They are interesting and cool people, people who like music, and drawing, design and art, I feel we have much stuff in common too! All this is awesome I think! :D

It's funny, I was going to study accounting, but for a good change of fortune, I've got the opportunity to study graphic design! So now I'm living one of my most longed dreams! Study an art-related career :D 

I was so naive though. XD Thinking that even in the college I could have some free time to write and draw as hobbie, or come here, even I was planning to write my first day at school, and the other days of my week! But no I couldn't!! :XD: Although as I said, I don't complain, all this is great :)

So, well also I come to say two things, first, my apologíes por being off too long. I've had a friend of mine who some time ago went to college, and for me it was a bit hard to believe she din't had time to come here in months, cos it was sad that at the end she decided to deactivate her account here, cos she felt bad for those who went mad or sad cos she couldn't have time to come and reply their messages in a good while. So now I apologize with her, cos I know that it's true! College takes almost all your time =P 

As I'm realizing, with the college it's going to be a bit harder than I though to have free time to spent on updating this blog or even drawing. What takes me to the second thing I was going to say:

I don't think I'll have much free time until vacation time in December, and even so I'm not sure =P We will see. 

I just would like to say I probably wouldn't be able to make to post more drawings here until the vacation time. I haven't drawn anything since Sept 1 the day I entered the school, except for the things I had to draw for homework So I think at the rare case I can update, it probably will be drawings from my homework *chuckles* I hope you're ok with that, homework stuff I have it's cool too! 

So, thanks for letting me share a bit of my everyday life with you guys, I hope to see you on December. A bientôt mes amis! 

Some of his great comments!

Hiya folks! How you're doing?

Today I'd like to take a time to talk about a dear friend.

One of his greatest features was his sense of humor. He was one of the most cheerful, warm and laid-back person I've ever seen in the face of the earth! Or the universe I would even say!

And I say "was" in this case, but not cos he is died or anything, just cos I'm referring that I haven't seen him in a pretty good time. For me these feel like it have been eons....so lonely and sad...eons...

But even if now he seems to be vanished, I would love to tell the world about him, about the amazing personality and traits of him. I would really love to do it!....I want so much to so it!...

But it's so difficult! Since it's been a long long time since I've seen him for the last time....And all the great replies to my comments I did on the page where he had his photos now aren't here!! so...

So I'm feeling like what this song I'm listening right now says.  And like in the song, I don't know why.  This is both, funny and a bit sad at the same time....I guess it's because maybe, my mind blocked his memories because...it was too much pain...at the moment I realized he was no longer there...and maybe all the pain I felt at that moment overwhelmed me...

Well, anways I'll try at least XD

But well, that's why the forums exists I think :D Some months ago I found a couple of his comments from him in the web that didn't dissapeared! Since they were in a forum, so it's my pleasure to share them with you.

And example of his humor...well I'm not sure if I can give you a good example....I wish I had all the great comments he gave me on the community where we meet....but I don't.  Because the account there was deactivated...And it gives me an strike of sadness and nostalgia to realize that I'll never be able to see those again...and I had no chance to save them because, I had a lifestyle that absorbed my time very much, and plus!I never imagined that something so sad that was going to happen!...

But there's a couple of comments from him I could find at least. This one that was from a forum, where we can see how he introduces himself beautifully.

And this intro it's beautiful, not just because his intro was very fun and very clear and elegant, but also for the form of how he writes, look! He writes in small separated paragraphs so it can be easy for the readers to read what he writes.

So here you can see a bit of his elegant way to write, and a bit of his funny phrases! The phrase that made me laugh the most in this text I think, was when he joked about how dA people doesn't make deep talkings....Because it's true! XD  Or well at least that's what I understood from this contexts of "huîtres"...I might be wrong though about the expression...if I'm wrong tell me please.

And I loved a lot this little joke about his english! It made me laugh the first time I saw it, and now it still makes me giggle and smile *giggles*

"Puis d'un coté je suis pas non plus une lumière en anglais.. Et ça se résume à "Pretty!"..."Thx..""

This phrase up there in particular, it caught my attention a lot specially because, "je suis pas une lumiere" it's a phrase that we also use in my country. So for me it was specially funny and cute seeing him using it, and realizing that there was an expression in french that was similar of the one where I live ^^  Here in Mexico we usually use the word "lumbrera" but it's quite the same thing, it's a synonim.

Note: I hide his real name here cos I'm not sure if he would like that people know it, since he erased his real name from his account, before it was deactivated.

Salut le monde! Je porte le nom de --------, j'ai 22 ans mais ceux qui ont une dent contre  moi disent que j'en fais que 3.. Et je leurs réponds que 3 dents plus celle qu'ils détiennes est largement suffisant et que nos employés sont au max de leurs  possibilités de production.. En logiciels j'utilise du PS CS5 et je débute d'ici peu Blender ver 2.62. Sur Photoshop je fais de la photo-manipulation, je le pratique activement depuis 8 mois. Blender depuis 3 jours (oui je sais ça fait moins sérieux mais je m'en moque vous allez pas me payer XD ) Je suis jeune informaticien plus précisément en tant que AIMMI( encore un titre pour péter de la brou!) Agent d'intervention en matériels micro informatique.. Ce qui regroupe trois modules de bases de l'info, Réseau, maintenance et hotline. Je pratique à côté en loisir l'ocarina et me suis mis au Ukulélé et je m'occupe d'un forum dédié à ses deux instruments. Je fais aussi du Airsoft avec mes amis et je suis aussi un passionné de MMO RPG Je souhaitais avoir un lieux pour discuter art, je sévi habituellement sur DA mais les gens là bas ont de longues conversations digne d'un intellect d’huîtres (pardon je souhaite faire aucunes diffamations au prés des huîtres..) Puis d'un coté je suis pas non plus une lumière en anglais.. Et ça se résume à "Pretty!"..."Thx.." Merci à vous d'avoir pris le temps de me lire.. Ah aussi Molière a un jour insulté ma maman depuis je me fais un plaisir de massacrer sa langue et au passage foutre un coup à sa grand mère..Donc je m'en excuse..

Other thing that I've always loved about him, it's how proper and polite he was. But also that he could defend himself when someone goes to insult him...without sounding vulgar, with still being proper! Like he does up there. That's a great trait on a man I think, being able to be proper and elegant and still be able to defend himself from people who is mean with him....And well, of any person in general, heheh.
Also that of "massacrer sa langue"  it was cool, made me laugh a lot! XD  You would think I'm crazy, but I love how french people use this expression, although for an english-speaking it would sound like "a bit disturging or weird" but for me it just sounds funny.
I think is cos here in mexico we also say this when talking bad a language, but obviously, it's not literal, but figuratively....some English-speaking people take all too literal XD

Now, this one was a comment he made on a flower photo, on a very popular art community. He was making a joke about how the petals of the flower were falling, like if the flower was death. And I thought it was so funny, because he was acting like a detective! LOL
I only post the quotes to protect the identity of the people, cos I'm not sure if they want me to mention them. And I wouldn't like to make anybody feel bothered!

Hello, thanks for the kind words, but no, the rose was photographed in my family's garden and I darkened the background to black. But it was too simple, so I used a "falling rose petals" photo from the internet and I merged the 2 layers in Photoshop. I know, it's rather a  photomanipulation, but here the rose photo is more important than "Hey, look at this, how good I can use my Photoshop =  Manupulation", so that's why it's not in the manipulation topic. But I will do a better 'manipulation', cuz here the petals are extremely small, I wasn't careful enough :S

Ah ah ah !
We pass to confessions? You have remorse?
Where were you the june 23 at 14h? And how do you explain that Mrs.
Rose died suddenly in the garden? Garden where you were on the day of the assassination!
(Just kidding of course)

If I asked this question at the outset.
This is because your flower has a impressive sharpness.
I asked me if you had just used a macro lens and a teleconverter who is fixed on  the first lens for boost the zoom power.
This has the effect of darkening the background with a macro flash. And I thought you had used this technique (because it interests me).
But you have answered me.

For the rest, the photomanipulation is not prohibited in the photograph it is called post-precessing.
But anyway I do not have to judge you on your personal choice.
We have the right to say we love it or not. But to say that it sucks, it's of egocentrism.

But that it become not a hindrance to your progress.
As an artist you have to have the humility to listen to the opinions of others even if it is not positive and it can hurt you.

In any case, thank you for your reply.

I'm agree on this what he says about post processing, it is something that it's ok in photography, and well we all have the right to have their opinions about it. I particulary think it's a great help sometimes. And also I think it's true what he said, that as an artist you should have the humility to listen other people's opinions! That is a very clever comment in my opinon.

And look how he knows about his stuff! ^^ I hope someday he can come back to tell me what he was talking about when he referred to the teleconverted and darkening the background....because I have not idea of how to do that *shy giggles*...and me who have been into photography almost a lifetime...that's a shame! shame on me! XD...
But well, I use a a pocket camera and I have no bigger trouble with it, so I didn't worry much about the techniques at that moment.

Well...so that's all folks! heheh...
And I know, mabye this doesn't tell you much about him...but well...I tried my best! Not reminding much of him in these moments it makes me a bit sad...but I'm hopeful I will later :)
I hope this can give you a laugh or two, heheh, and you can have fun reading this blog.
