My Desktop of the Week #10
by Dark Light in , , , , , ,

It's the holiday time. So that means I will be stuck at home - being lazy. As the days passed by... I become more and more bored. I've even finished watching Friends for 5 seasons (season 5 to season 9).

So 3 weeks ago, I bought a PlayStation Portable (PSP) from a friend. And I even went back to USM to take some games like Rock Band Unplugged from Naufal. I even finished playing that game.

Again, because of the boredom, I ended up making a new wallpaper...


.....

I'm out of words. Shit.

My Desktop of the Week #9
by Dark Light in , , , ,

It's been awhile since my last post about my desktop because it's already becoming a 'must-do' post for me if I have any new visual style for my vista or a new wallpaper being made. So here is it- my new desktop look for this week. I made the wallpaper myself and following a tutorial from the web. I even tweak the tutorial to make it more perfect to go with my logo. And it does turn out good.


The red wallpaper is a special wallpaper, the JabbaWockeeZ Project. Made by yours truly.

During this exam week I've been feeling weird. While other people struggling to revise their studies, I on the other hand been sitting around watching movies, or even do nothing or anything actually except studying. It seems strange and I admit that I am not a genius or something like that. This feeling have made me come to this particular moment, where after two papers have passed- I did regret that I didn't make any effort to study at all. I messed up my Engineers in Society paper and wrecked the hell out of my Mathematical Method for Chemical Engineering paper. And still I have this feeling. Up until now I'm still not touched a single note, even just to look at it, except during the night before the paper. I'm in a deep shit, am I?

It's The Final Design
by Dark Light in , , ,

So after some time thinking, I finally came up with this logo. And yeah, I know its kinda lame and boring, but it is better than nothing. Making the DL logo based from my sketch to Photoshop/Illustrator is harder than I thought it would. First I use Illustrator-failed, I use Photoshop- failed again. And after several more failures, I use both and succeeded. Yay~!

Words flying around that I might get a deal designing Prestige (annual book/magazine for Desasiswa Jaya) Ver.2, Should I take it? Oh, FYI, I'm also the co-creator and the co-designer for this year first edition of Prestige.

This upcoming week I will be very busy with tests, quizzes, and presentations so expect less post from me. Wish me luck!

Good Logo Design for Good Business
by Dark Light in , , ,

Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking- since I'm now starting to charge when doing designing work, I need to came up with a good logo. A logo that represent my so-called design business. With empty head I started to make some logos and end up with a terrible designs. Now, I need my fellow friends and my blog readers (if I do have any), I need your advice to make a simple yet awesome logo for my "company". And yeah, here are some designs that I've done so far.


One more thing, my laptop is now making its first record- I haven't shut it down for a straight 33 days 22 hours and few minutes! Impressive but I found a melted rubber band behind my laptop- showing that keeping your laptop on day and night will generate heat- a lot of heat... I'm just glad that my laptop doesn't go kaput!


And fyi, currently I am busy with my studies so expect less not more post from me. :P

Horror movie anyone?
by Dark Light in , , , ,

Honestly speaking I'm not a big fan of horror/ scary movies. My first experience watching horror movie (Ju-on 2) in the cinema was clearly a bad idea. Very bad. I became paranoia, always checking under the bed, and hoping nothing's there. The paranoid continued for a month and from that time, I always tried to avoid to watch any horror movies, especially in the cinema...And what the hell am I telling everybody about this? Shit.

OK. Putting the fear aside, last week while having dinner with my friends, we talks about the upcoming Chemical Night. More specifically, about what to do to fill the tentative for the night. I've heard rumours that the 1st year is going to do choir with strange selection of songs. Ah! I'm not supposed to say more, but you get the picture.

So we came up with this crazy idea: a short horror movie for the night. The plan was to...aaa... no, no.... spoilers are not allowed.. Let's just say that the movie is to 'entertain' all the people during the night. Thus last night we went to the set and starts to shoot the movie. Yes, the production of the movie is still underway, so I can't say what will happen next.

The shooting went quite smoothly despite the rainy night and a busybody security guard. And I must say, there's only a little scary (actually I didn't feel anything) shooting horror movie. Maybe I will be if the end product is superb, huh?

Back from the set and having nothing to do, I started to work on the poster. The first try ended up to a plain-not-a-thing poster. But, today because my laboratory experiment doesn't take too much time (30 minutes only), I went back to my room and finished the poster. And here is the end result:

"It was dark was it not?" -quote taken from Achmed (Jeff Dunham's puppet)

Anyway, if you wanted to watch this (short) movie, make sure you be at USM Main Hall, 12 March (oh yeah, only for Chemical Engineering Student). And one more thing to take note, don't put your expectations up high to see this movie during the night, cause it might not be shown due to the producers busyness. Maybe next year. :P

Two Posters for Two Nights
by Dark Light in , , , ,

So here is the new poster for the upcoming Chemical Night. Changed the background because the theme for the night has changed. Some of you may already seen this on the notice board at your block or at the school itself.


As you can see at my shoutbox, Mr. Rourke contacted me for another job. It's for the Civil Night poster. Here is the finished design. And it is actually a bit better than Chemical Night poster :P.
And yeah, both looks a like somehow. And...and...I didn't get paid for it (T-T) Wuwuwwu... Maybe next time I need to state that my work must be paid or something, should I?

p.s.: Mr. Sallikin, I already watch Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula, and loving it! "Fikir masa depan, Mak Uda!" If you know what I mean... :P

My Desktop of the Week #8
by Dark Light in , ,

Up until now, I have been very busy. But I manage to squeeze some time to post. So, here is my new desktop look (actually I have been using it for about 3 weeks or so). As usual, I'm using new theme but lately Vista themes are getting sucks, hardly I find a visual styles that I like. The Rocketdock icons are made by myself because it goes nicely with the desktop background (Leather & Carbon Fiber).


And yes, if you noticed, my laptop uptime is already reaching 11 days 7 hours. I hate to turn off my laptop if I want to go somewhere else, and that's what you get. Actually its not even a record. My personal record is actually 15 days but it was not recorded/print screened, thus no evidence.

By the way, the trailer for Transformers 2 - Revenge of the Fallen is out! If you in USM Transkrian, you can find the trailer on some of the USM sharer's page and if not, you can easily find it in Youtube. New transformers that I can tell when watching the trailers are Arcee (A superbike) and Devastator (A construction vehicle, but rumors has it that its only a part of Devastator).

EE T-shirt Design
by Dark Light in ,

After finished the ORKEET T-shirt Designing job, another job pops out. And this time, it's the School of Electrical&Electronic Engineering Student Society (a.k.a. SEE) wants me to design for their tee. Honestly speaking, I'm still in my 'no-idea' state...

I have finished some of the designs before, but all of them have some fatal flaw- the language I was using on the design is Bahasa Malaysia and didn't include Mechatronic as well. So I have to redo all design and manage to came up with two extra designs. If you want to take a look at the designs, please go here.




And when finishing up this post, I found out that the fourth design have been chosen. The amazing thing is both design3 and design4 was done in just a couple of hours. Today. Hmm~~~ Next job, finishing the poster for Chemical Night. And thankfully I have something in my mind already...

ORKEET T-Shirt Design
by Dark Light in ,

Last two week my friend in EE school ask me to design for his organization, for the upcoming ORKEET. I think it's supposed to stand for 'Orientasi Kejuruteraan Elektrik & Elektronik' or something like that. A lot of brainstorming for the design and to be honest, I'm kinda suck at it. So here is some of the prototype designs.





And of course the chosen design is not displayed here. Client privileged. :p Some suggestion to improve my designs is totally welcomed.

Today's the election day in the campus, and the truth is, I hate to go to my school just to vote. Darn it. Why they have it so damn hard?? I just want to have a good-extra-morning sleep because there's no class until 2 P.M.

My Desktop of the Week #7
by Dark Light in , ,

Lately I've run out of ideas to post. Maybe because of the busy week of studying- although it don't seems to- I did manage to do a couple of designing and editing pictures.

So,here's my desktop of the week. New theme and new wallpaper that I just finished making just now.



Hey, why don't we play a game? Whoever can guess all of the picture is who and what (except for the first picture second row from the left and first row fifth picture from left), I will give him/her a present. Although it's not a very good present, well, it's still something.

My Desktop of the Week #6
by Dark Light in , ,

As promised, my IronMan HUD interface upgrade version is completed at last. It took me a lot of time to finish this. Please do comment on it, 'coz I wanted to improve it until it is perfect.


And of course, new theme...

Plus, I am now the proud owner of Adobe Illustrator CS3. Although it takes time to learn how things works in it, it does paid me very well. The picture below is my first try to make a design using Illustrator with the help of Photoshop. Turns out it is handy after all...

Although it looks very nice, it's just because I followed the tutorials downloaded in the internet. Hehehe...

My Desktop of the Week #5
by Dark Light in ,

This is my desktop of the week. I missed 3 weeks (I think) of this topic. It is really sucks if you don't have an internet connection at your home. *Sigh*



And the wallpaper of course I did it myself. Inspired by the IronMan movie- Mark II heads up display.

Currently I've been captivated by it... And spend more time to perfecting them.
I'll will post it when it's finished. Maybe.

My New Desktop of the Week #3
by Dark Light in ,

My desktop of the week. New theme, new wallpaper and new rocketdock icon! I really like those icon, it's simple and sleek and it have 500++ more icons like these. The wallpaper, I made it myself after watching some tutorials. And the font I use for "Dark.//Light" is the same font as Prison Break's font.

It's nothing much difference from the last theme since the maker is the same.

Fresh from the Oven
by Dark Light in ,

This is my new artwork. It took me the whole day to finish this (actually it's only about 10 hours). I started this in the evening (drawing phase) and the long coloring phase in the night until now (It's 2.30 a.m.).

This is actually my first run after reading tutorials on how to color artwork in the web. It very confusing (a little but very-very confusing if you are a beginner). So, whaddya think? Comments and suggestion are welcome!!!



  1. The original sketch.
  2. Adjusted level. The guide for coloring process.
  3. Added base color.
  4. Added Depths and Highlights (the shadows).
  5. Added album cover (Muse's Black Holes & Revelations), button color, and hair highlights.

Adding background (the original sketch).

Adding background (people on shopping complex).

I'm getting sleepy... Ahh... Zzz... Hah! Forget something...
