Pencil and Paper

2010-09-20T21:54:00.003+07:00

I had been busy lately improving on my drawing skills with only just pencils and papers.I mean I was really sucked in drawing on pencil and paper.So, I thought it's already late to improve but I should start using some traditional media which are the backbone of digital media arts .

So, currently I am sketching some creatures and stuff on pencil and paper only,which I will scan them later and paint them in Photoshop to visualize them in a more sophisticated way or may be sculpt them in Z-Brush,but for now it's only pencil and paper for sometime.I bought some charcoal pencils too , to see how they react on the surface and was very happy with result I got for using it on the creature..You can see a tone difference of gray and black in the creature I had drawn..Some charcoal was used on that sketch.

A pack of Wallpapers - Free Give Away

2010-06-04T12:03:00.004+07:00

I always like to keep everything simple on my desktop always,and only because of that I don't waste time searching for a lot of wallpapers on the web.So,I'm giving away these wallpapers who kind of like the minimalist kind of wallpapers.I will post some more later with a little fractals,which are off course made by me.

I had been designing my own wallpapers always with the use of Photoshop,which had always helped me right during my bad times too.When I am little down a bit of Photoshoping really do help me to get me up.Really,it's not a joke.I mean it's just a computer application I guess you could say,but it really help me express my emotions sometimes.That's a relationship I have with the PC I use..I don't know why,but it's quite special.Something,special that I don't even share with my GF.I am all gone without my pc.I love it more than anything.

Simple solution to maintain your PC

2010-05-11T03:05:00.007+07:00

Did you ever know while you are using your PC/Laptop or your Mac,the hardware inside your system may be heating up to boiling point?

I mean it and my system is online 24x7.But nothing does happen.But the system should be maintained sometimes as it should be.

No?Step back have a look at this image.That's the diagnostics of my system & I have just started it and made it a run check for temperatures.

Oh,all right now the answer now clearly says "yes".

There's a little utility which can let you know all about the configurations of your hardware and the temperature of your hardware. Accordingly, you can shut - down your system and give it some rest so that the hardware cool down.Then again you can restart your system to resume work.

The little utility you are looking around for is from Piriform from the makers of great softwares CC Cleaner , Defraggler, Recuva and I know you all are most familiar with these softwares which serves us on a daily basis.Now they have come up with another great small system utility named as " Speccy ".

Speccy is an advanced System Information tool for your PC.

Reptile Man

The above image is a snapshot of a digital sculpt , I have created and sculpted it in Pixologic Z-Brush 3.5.The new Z-Brush 3.5 has some amazing new features,which I discovered while sculpting this character.I was trying to have a blend of a human head with some you could say reptillious characteristics.

Opening Multiple Instances in GTalk

2010-01-05T07:19:00.002+07:00

Google Talk

Since I have more than 1 ID at GTalk and all different people spread across different ID's I thus found a solution of running multiple instances of GTalk.

To have multiple id's logged into Google Talk from the same computer, just change the Google Talk shortcut in Programs or Desktop)to include /nomutex at the end of it and save it.

You can also run the program from Start » Run and type “c:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe” /nomutex.The /nomutex option allows you to open more than one instance of Google Talk and login with different ids.Also in order to make some changes in the interface for bold type *your message* ,for italic type _your message_, for line break type shift+enter, use control+tab to switch through open chat windows, etc..

A chat message can be 32767 characters long.

So,chill !!!!
