In the cold light of morning...

Sat Sep 19, 2009, 4:27 PM
That last journal entry is deleted. Firstly, thank you for the responses. I realise now that staring at a laptop trying to find inspiration is not the way to go about things. Instead I'm just going to wait for inspiration to come to me. I have some ideas for some poems and whatnot floating around, and I'll see where they end up.

Watch this space. Or alternatively, wait until you get a 'new deviation' notification.


Goodbye.

Currently in the limbo between A levels and university known to many as 'the gap year' I'm on a perpetual hunt for cash to support the rather expensive living costs of Canterbury, where I'll be studying English and American Literature next year. I don't think I need to tell you that reading is a great hobby of mine, along with the collection of very nice copies of all my favourite books.

I am also a pixel artist (strange combination, I know) and have been creating pieces on and off for quite some time. Unfortunately since pixel art is so time consuming my gallery will probably lean more towards poetry, despite the two receiving pretty much equal attention from me.

Aside from the above I am a keen HiFi and AV enthusiast, an avid film viewer, a whiskey, spirits and cocktail lover, an obsessive Pokemon fan and a complete Lord of the Rings fanatic who professes to knowing the history of Middle Earth a lot better than most.

If I could be anything in life I would want to be a pirate ranger Pokemon trainer (you heard it). I would listen to Alestorm all day and have many a merry jig, hang out with my Munchlax and occasionally wander the beauty and wilderness of Middle Earth while avoiding all irritating hobbits as best I can.

I'd like to spend my life with literature, as a student, a teacher or an artist. I'd love a big house in the country, with a well stocked library and a wealth of AV equipment.

Hi, thanks for the message. I'm ok, haven't been on here for a while. That's mainly due to life being a bit hectic at the moment, I haven't had time to pixel or write anything, plus i've been a bit lacking in inspiration. I'll try and get some stuff up soon, probably won't be until next month though :)
:iconcrashrx:
Okay then :)

I love your pixel art, what program did you make it on?

Hi,
I use Photoshop CS for my pixel art, but you can use any program - all you need is a pencil tool.
If you haven't got Photoshop the best alternative is GIMP, which is free and has all the features of Photoshop (like using layers and transparency and stuff) which makes pixelling easier.
Hope that helps :)

Hey there. How you doing? :)

Just to tell you, I didn't get the chance to do some pixel drawings of handheld consoles as I've been busy recently. Don't worry, they'll be here soon enough :)

No problem, I'm having the same problem, I got halfway through my new pokemon scene and got distracted by something else!
Thanks for keeping in touch anyway :D
:iconcrashrx:
I was going to ask if you got around doing more pixel art :P

Well I'm halfway through two separate pieces, so I'll be posting something soon enough. Problem is I just got my Wii sorted (sensor bar broke) so I have ANOTHER distraction lol!
:iconcrashrx:
Well, I'll be looking forward on seeing that :)
