Interests
I love all things creative. I'm a graphic designer. Currently I am working towards starting up my own business designing portfolio websites for entertainers (i.e. musicians, dancers, singers, models, actors etc.). At the moment I'm stuck on a name for my business, I can't seem to get past this hurdle - I have a few clients on the horizons (including one existing that needs update to a website I created for her), but no business name! I know a little bit of programming/coding - mainly flash actionScripting, but I am also learning to integrate a little xml & php to make my sites more dynamic and easier to modify at the backend. Of course I know how to do html, css & javaScript coding too - do all that stuff in notepad (no Frontpage crap for me! :P) My other interests lie in digital photography (I spent a pretty penny buying a good camera! xD) and photo manipulation, and also digital videos editing (My dream job is to direct & produce feature films). I write film scripts, I draw pictures, I sing, I dance, I act. Well at least I USED to do ALL of those things. Since having a baby boy on Christmas Day 2005, my life has been pretty hectic adjusting to being a first time mother!

X-Men's Phoenix (Jean Grey)

28 June 2006 - 06:03 AM

The render is Phoenix (a.k.a Jean Grey) from The X-Men (can't remember where I got it from but it originally looked like this.)

I didn't use any custom brushes. It was all done with filters and gradient tools, and playing with blending and adjustment layers. Took me probably 2 or 3 hours.

I actually don't make sigs, so this is my first attempt. As you can see I haven't got any text on there, I was stuck for a good idea when it comes to text. Text has always been the bane of my existence!

Crazier than a Coconut

23 June 2006 - 09:23 PM

G'day, I'm peanut and it's been an hour since I joined. Why did I take so long to post?! Well of COURSE I had to read through all the rules and familiarise myself with the forum before attempting to introduce myself. I don't want to mess up and create a bad first impression now!

I'm really hoping to become involved with the GFX team since I am a Graphic Designer by trade. I'm not sure whether I'm talking too much already :sorry:

as a lot of the other newbie posts simply said "I'm new, thought I'd say hi" (or a similar mono-lined introduction to that effect).

And yes, it is true - I AM crazier than a coconut, but we all go a little bit mad sometimes don't we?! :yahoo:

I look forward to spending some time here getting to know people (as long as my 6 month old son permits me the time!

) ... I guess I'll go and jazz up my profile a little bit, and maybe head over and look around the graphics forum a little.

Cheers!
Peanut.

P.S. Is there a spell checker for this thing? I hate making mistakes with my spelling ... I used to get called "Ms. Perfect" because of my pedantic behaviour with spellling and grammar. :blush:
