Garaiya / Projects section update
Aug 28 , 2004
 
 
 

I did some updates to the Projects section and I also included the Garaiya Wallpaper project I did yesterday. Take a look, if you want to download them, there's also a link to the full size images inside the Garaiya project page. They are only available at 1024x768. But feel free to contact me if you want it in a lower resolution. I can't do much for those who are using a higher desktop res since sizing up will cause the wallpaper to look blurrier than it already is. =/

Here's a preview if you're too lazy to check the page:

 
 
 
Summer's end
Aug 26 , 2004
 
 
 

Ahhh... I have been busy during my vacation I haven't had much time to do graphics work. I was in Toronto for a month and by the time I got back, my vacation's almost over! Hum. I have managed to get started on some projects again though. I've given up on the rtk site, since there's a lot of little stuff I can't remember how to do anymore, so I've moved on to all the new stuff. First up... clan site for my dod clan - Elite Commandos

My CS team recently acquired a server sponsor, LynxionGaming (#lynxiongaming on irc.gamesurge.net) and I got the chance to make them a banner which is now on the Visual Gaming website.

 
 
 
Frou...frou?
May 31, 2004
 
 
 

Has anyone heard of Frou Frou before? I first heard of them when someone made that anime music video, titled, Euphoria. The song they used was Must Be Dreaming by Frou Frou and after that, I totally forgot about them. I recently listened to the Shrek 2 soundtrack and saw the movie, and then BAM, a totally different, but distinct sound, playing to the credits. Holding Out For A Hero by Frou Frou. =D I took a listen to tracks from their CD and I just can't get enough. Tell me if you find any more songs that they've done. I'm hoping they'll release a new CD soon though, their original CD, "Details" is almost 3 years old...


Frou Frou's debut CD, Details

I've also been reading a book called Photoshop Secrets of the Pros and I'm very excited to do that kind of work again... I've also done a sig for the visual gaming forums since well, I didn't have a sig... :P

Like my sig?

 
 
 
rtk in progress
Apr 25 , 2004
 
 
 

Finals are almost done and I can get back to work on my projects again. Yay. -_-

I've done a couple of stuff, mostly with the rtk site. I've done a couple of logo designs too... Take a look!

Oh yeah, I've recently started working full time on the rtk site. It will constantly be updated so take a look once every few days... http://www.lostclouds.com/jqua/rtk

Here's a couple of logo's I've designed...

These were done for the rtk site:


Obviously the rtk logo for rtk.


I made this because...well... their logo is pretty crappy.

And lastly, Top Daug asked me to create a CAL logo for oofk today.
So I just whipped something up quick.

 
 
 
New project, and old one on hold
Feb 28 , 2004
 
 
 

I've been really busy with school... and I really shouldn't even be posting this, I should be working on a database project due on Tuesday...

I took too long working on the Genocidal Tendencies and they got someone else to do it. Go support them, they are great guys and stop by their Battlefield 1942 server, I'm also on there time to time. So someone tell me if you want to use the design that I was making for them.

I have a new project I decided to get a jump on since I had some free time the past few days... My CS clan, rtk has been in need of a site for a while now... so I came up with some designs, it shouldn't be too long, I hope. I'm working with a simplistic design as I usually do, but I will have an easier time doing things since I am deciding the feel for the site.


I have a feeling I'll be breaking some new ground in my design style for this site. Watch out! :D

 
 
 
3D Model Printing?
Feb 12 , 2004
 
 
 

I just got back home from school and there were a couple of neat things our Graphics prof showed us... The coolest thing was the 3d Printer. http://www.zcorp.com I didn't realize this technology existed already, I was still planning on creating it :/ Hehe. When I get the money, I'm gonna get one of these puppies. Damnnnn...

z406

The prof also showed us some other stuff, but they didn't have any direct links... the one that I thought was already on the market was the virtual image displays that go on your eyes with a HUD. For doctors, soldiers, etc etc. I want one of these too... Dunno for what though... Cheating on tests maybe... :D

I've been busy with homework and projects and I haven't had much time to do my projects. But I did have a nice school project that was graphics related for once! *Chirp chirp*

 
 
 
Edited Profile & gt Preview
January 20 , 2004
 
 
 

I added a Site Profile blurb since I realized it wasn't there... I'm also changing the News Layout titles since the "UPDATE" part was is useless. Here's a little peek on what I'm working on right now... it's the clan site I am working on for 'Genocidal Tendencies' also known as gt. They play Battlefield 1942 and if you see someone with the |^| tag, say hi to them for me, since I don't play. :/

It's obviously not done yet, and is not in any way final. :o

 
 
 
Minor Optimizations
January 19 , 2004
 
 
 

I'm currently reading through a web design book titled "Son Of Web Pages That Suck: Learn Good Design by Looking at Bad Design" by Vincent Flanders. There is also a website of the same name at: www.webpagesthatsuck.com It is a pretty interesting read and I have had some new details to consider. I have spent today doing a little optimizing of the site of some simple errors that I had just recently noticed... Mostly just getting rid of redundant images that are repeated and some missing alt tags.

 
 
 
Going Live!

Lost Clouds is now going hot! LostClouds.com is now registered and I will be working hard to add new stuff every week! The forums are still broken... I'm still thinking of how to host it, I have a couple of options...

I was thinking of implementing some kind of commenting system too for the pictures...but then I'm not really sure how to do that yet....

 
 
 
Added New & Old Projects
January 10 , 2004
 
 
 

I've finally had time to come on and update this site. I've had some new projects such as Zodiac and the rtk Wallpaper. I've uploaded those as well as uploading some of my older projects that didn't have the link completed or wasn't even posted. I will get around to posting some images of my film projects soon! I am also currently working on a website for a BF1942 clan. Hopefully I'll finish that before the end of the month.
