Here’s a quick digest of what I’ve been up to in the last week or so.  I reinvigorated my 6-year old deviantart account. After logging into it and brushing away the e-cobwebs, the personal information attached to the account was pretty amusing – I was at the earlier end of teenage years at the time I registered it, but at least I still had respectable taste in music.

Anyway, with that cleared out I’ve moved three new pieces up there. The first and second are the result of me importing some Illustrator messing about I did in my (amazing) Visual Communication class into Photoshop and letting loose. Like I say in the creator comment on deviantart – they may or may not be too busy, but I guess that will become apparent in time when more people comment!

Next, I was really neglectful of uni last weekend, locked myself in my room (stop laughing) and bashed away at the keyboard until I came up with a little something I like to call ‘Sentient’. It’s the most together thing I’ve done so far, that is, everything before now has been held together with digital sticky-tape and sheer willpower. But I can actually look at the sequence of this music and zoom in and zoom out at my leisure. So the third and final piece I have to blog about is actually two-pronged – music and accompanying artwork.

Sentient

I made the image initially in 4:3 format 800×800 pixels for album artwork, so there was something to look at in iTunes… Then I decided to post it to youtube in eye-shatteringly large 720p, so I had to adapt it to 1280×720 format which I dare say came out better than the original…
