Some more Spectrums, and random stuff

Like it? This might be some of the last abstract stuff I put up on my blog. This is definitely the LAST post I'm making on this sticky piece of shit, which temporarily I had justified sticking to, called Blogger. Till the time, I get my own domain, my brother offered a nice alternative of sharing a subdomain on his existing domain. So, I now have http://vishesh.vineesh.info. Woohoo!! :D I shall be setting up an auto-redirect soon enough.

Also, if you think my shifting to WP makes me choose a non-black theme, you are so mistaken. :P It does not. But still, see you at the mystic ranger's new haunt! :D

Spectrum Part-II

This spectrum art was made before the previous one was, But I still liked this one more. Also, its "Made on a Mac". For any criticizers, you have to accept that beyond all their complaints, they have to accept that Macs are definitely good for two things: Showing off to naive retarded friends making them bow to you in awe of the [rather lame] machine; and for design - its own, and the software that run on it. I'm pretty sure Adobe actually make all their s/w with a bias towards Mac OS giving it lots of additional features. It sounds irrational, but I think so. And aslo, there are man more intense design s/w s that run only on macs. Thus giving them a very unfair edge in designing. And the result was really cool... or so I think. :D

Spectrums - my new playfield...

I've been playing around with new types of gradients, which include the spectrums one, and the Color Harmonies one. This is something I recently made...

Happy Valentine's Day! :D

It's Valentine's Day!Or is about to come pretty soon anyways... I know nobody reads my blog, but I made something special for the occasion. ;D
Don't ask, for whom, cause it ain't for anybody in particular. I was just getting super-fed up of all the red hearts the people were putting up on their blogs and sites. Especially the abundant quantity of design blogs I've been through, in the last few days, has not only humbled me about my [super] poor skills in Photoshop, but has also frustrated me about the numerous brushes, textures, and people have been putting up, all gushing with a repulsive redness in them. So here's a piece of my heart... ;P


Red's cliched and so is the arrow! :P So here's the black heart with the new-age lighting.
Of course, it'll be a way too huge effort to make the stupid kid who irresponsibly throws this stuff at not-so-prepared-for-it guys and gals. But I'll be trying. Any suggestions on how to make the hole through which that lightning's passing, better, are more than welcome - they're needed! :). So your comments, suggestions, please. :)

P.S: For all the visually retarded viewers of mine, which includes, if any at all, a pending notice, that I have set up a Feedburner E-mail subscription Form to the right, and also an RSS feed button "handcrafted" by me, using a by-defined, very cool, AI image from the Feedicons Devkit.

Riding on the waves!!

Wave: Part I. Not really much of a wave.




Wave Part II - This is not connected to the previous one. Although the following ones are all out from this.



Wave Part III: Some Inherent Turbulences :D.



And Wave Part IV: All ready to shimmer and fall back. :)
So, how'd you like the series? Want a continuation?

A Redevelopment

I had actually made the thing in the "Happy New Year" post, on Photoshop 7. It's amazing how when you're at it, and you're not such an expert after all, the device at hand never seems to matter! Well, I'd actually something that screamed my name out way more than just the V. If anybody wants to know how I made it though, I'd definitely like to put up a cursory "tut". ;). This is what I'd originally made. (Actually, I'd made it on my sister's computer and the real original thing had her name on it.)
Well, here goes...

Happy New Year!

I know you'd say I'm late. Well, I know I am. So there's no point telling me. :P
Well, I've been around, here and there - and visibly, mostly there. Vain attempts to stick around here for any substantial time and manage to make a post have been spoilt, again as would be visible. So there's a lot to say.

1. I'm sad that the single post I made having 5 pieces of art received lesser comments than other single-art posts. Well, I believe there can be too much of a good thing (or perhaps, ugly things heh:) ), in one go.
2. A Lotta people took a review of the year that had passed by. Actually even more did, but these were three which I cared to read. I thought that it was pretty silly to care about what had happened. So I took to making a list. Not a list of resolutions. Ohh, resolutions are such a cilched word, Id never in a lifetime use them. And since the list is so impossible, I'd only dream about resolving to do them all. Here goes, in this year I plan to learn the following things:

• Maya
• Flash [with actionscript]
• better Ps
• better Ai
• C++ programming
• heuristics (?!)
• make a [fractal-generating] software****
• Mathematica
• CSS
• php
• XML

I know its impossible to the point of frivolity, but it's stupid if I don't try at all, isn't it?

3. I have been making some more art, and putting many more widgets in the sidebar. Some might feel irritated - if you do, don't tell me cause I'm not gonna change. :P Just kidding. Comment for whatever you like, I luuurrrvvv comments. Although I very irresponsibly forget to reply to many, so forgive me, if I ahve ne that to you. and keep commenting.

4. Finally my art-of-the-post. I've learnt more of filters, and it's really fun. Even GIMP filters are real fun. One of them's actually a fractal-generation filter, and I just love the starburst one. It's beautiful. This thing's psd is 63 MB heavy, so don't even dream of asking me for it, if you can't meet me personally with a storage device. And it's even my new desktop wallpaper. Perhaps, you could've guessed that seeing the resolution. Yeah - I have a 19-inch monitor. Not news to most, though...

So, adieu for the time-being. Also, I'll might soon shift to Wordpress, so be ready for it... :D Keep reading, commenting, and hating me .X-D

My first Designed T-shirt

cool ain't it?


and, a belated Merry Christmas, winter solstice (:D I love this), and a happy new year in advance. Should be coming up with some art related to that pretty soon... or hopefully so. :S

Another Self-Obsession ooops... Possession :D

Nice, eh?

Some quick new art from me

A pretty fish. Made by me. :)

















This was done from a tutorial. And even one of the key things which was the feather brush was provided ready-made. Not really cool, after knowing this is it?


















Guess What this is? I named it "the incomplete man".
















This was supposed to be my white ribbon against the terror attacks in Mumbai. Couldn't make a better one. :(. But still, my solace is in its orginality. Like in The Frog And the Nightingale [;)]
“I don't think the song's divine.
But – oh, well – at least it's mine”.
Same for my ribbon. :D. And I do have a lot of views about those terrorists which I'd love to express sometime soon...




Modern art. By me. :D

Life's running! :)

My first (or one of the first show-able) tries with brushes. And yes, the man was meant to be running, not dancing or skating. :|

I hope the title helps in complementing the start of the previous post as well.

Also, this post is 2 and a half months old. I don't know why it was in the transit for so long, but oh well... There you go.
Hope you like it, and also comment on it. :) (Don't I beg just too much? :S)

My Improved inbox Part-II

So, people were actually interested in knowing how I got my amazing inbox. Here we go.

Get BetterGmail 2 or whichever is their most latest version. It is a FireFox add-on and it's really amazing, trust me. I might know and use a 1000 add-ons, like the most weird ones, but better Gmail is good. This is how you download it (for the real retards :)):















Now, restart your firefox to make the add-on enabled (duh!), open the add-ons box from Tools>Add-ons, click on the extensions options, then select better-gmail (it must ideally be selected by-default. Ideally when you restart your fx right after installing only better gmail, the add-ons box will open by itself with the better-gmail selected.), and click on the options that appears when you select it. Then, go to the skins tabs in that box, and select gmail redesigned.















A much easier option would be to install google redesigned :D. Go to globexdesign.com/gr, and install the add-on that comes on the page. It not only redesigns your gmail, without any tweaks, but also redesigns you Gcal page.
If your gmail does not get redesigned by itself, you'll see a weird icon of a moon-like G, with a small R in the centre of it. Right-click on it, select Gmail, and then Redesigned, v. [nwhatever].















Oh, and if you haven't got Firefox, you ought to commit suicide in the deepest well you can find, cause you're missing out on everything you could, from the world of browsers. (And obviously from a way better Gmail inbox ;)).

[Not] My Eye

Which do you think is better? Please leave your comments and suggestions.
I just got to know that people actually visit my blog and don't leave comments.
That is ghastly! I hope you please cease doing this and comment whatever, about whatever, wherever, at least I'll know you saw my designs (read:crap). Please.
For without encouragement[, or otherwise,] I feel so deserted, and continually feel like changing my blog title to MYSTIC and LONELY ranger. Seriously.
Sob, sob.:(

My horizontal snowman

How'd u like this?

More design: My Art part-III

This is my evil pacman. Do you like him?


Please tell me how to improve. I am making such things out of desparation and lack of ideas. Give me an intriguing title and I'll try to make something out of it.

My wierd circle... :S

Here goes another try at digital art. I wasn't as enraptured by this one as my moon but still, see if you like it.

My moon...

No Really! I DID!!!
















And sorry for the tm thingie. Just put it for a bit of fun...
[UPDATE: On popular demand, some comments, some verbal accusations, the image has been modified as the tm has been removed. I am no more sorry. :P]
