The Mayans Are WRONG! So Relieved That We're STILL ALIVE After 12/21/2012!


As of today, 2 days since the predicted date of the Mayans' so-called "End of the World" event, most of the entire population on this very planet STILL LIVE! No earthquakes or tectonic plate-shifting, no giant tsunamis, and no volcanic eruptions or giant meteors were ever present! It's a good thing that 2012, a 2009 blockbuster disaster film by ID4 Roland Emmerich, did not end up as being a "true story"! Or else we might've been completely stuck listening to those silly superstitions about facing the catastrophic armageddon!
Sorry, Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson)! I guess YOU WERE WRONG! Just like what the Mayans think!

Blog 08 Assignment

One of the most interesting things I learned about digital art, is that it takes a little practice and experience to get used to the kind of program that uses the digital art techniques to create a perfect artwork project. There are a few things that I have not yet experienced in digital art when I took this class; such as when I have never used Adobe After Effects, which is a more helpful program in editing the videos. Digital art is the most creative thing for me to do, which will help me accomplish my art skills. I also learned that there are many artists who also use the digital art programs for their own creative works. For example, Ron Borresen was an illustrator who knows how to use Painter and Photoshop to create the uniquely drawn cartoon characters.
I believe that I will continue to work with digital art. It all depends on if I am advised to create something that requires some visually and realistic details to impress those who knew much about the Adobe application programs. As much as I am very skilled in handling the computer art stuff, I might sometimes find it as a hard-working process which usually takes the amount of time to get it completely done prior to the confirmed deadlines. Just like how it is very difficult for me to render a video completely and check to see how much data storage there is for a rendered video to fit in any folder or random location of the desktop.
Photoshop is pretty much my favorite program I use this semester. I have been using Photoshop many times since I took a computer class in my summer school, and I had never gotten tired of using it. It never takes a very long time for me to get my assignment work completed like After Effects, which is takes a longer process for the videos to get loaded up. I find that photo-editing program as a "fun way" for me to play with the art tools to alter the details or make up something from what I imagined. In fact, I wouldn't have to worry about creating digital comics on Illustrator based on the amount of details, the way the storyline is handled, and the how much time the process will take; just as long as I work with a program that is much easier for my artistic skills and will not worn me out.
