On a very fine morning, Mr. Shinn bestowed upon me the honor of designing a surprise birthday gift for his lovely wife. After meeting him and his hilarious 22 year old son Blake, I quickly realized the word "conventional" would be stricken out of the thesaurus for this specific project (oh twist my arm!) Compelling all funny and outrageous synapses to come forward and volunteer for the mission, I decided to create a Funky Blake Calendar.

Some of the most "daring" concepts were discussed prior to execution, then the photographs of Blake were taken.

The Shinns nicely agreed to let me share with you some of the different months, so here we go:

January

February

May

June (with girlfriend now ex-girlfriend. Oops.)

September

October

November

For good measure, the month of December featured the infamous Mr. Shinn himself:

December

This happened four years ago. Mrs. Shinn was GREATLY amused. I am told the calendar still lies prominently on the living room coffee table.

This is part 1 of a set of tutorials I am writing, which will basically take you through the process of converting a man’s head into a garden. The first part will be showing you how to prepare the image then add a waterfall coming out of his head with a pool at the bottom, like the image below. All the tutorials in this set will be fairly advanced but worth giving a go, they will also require you to work rather than just match up layer styles and settings. You are guaranteed to learn a bit no matter what level you are at and you will see what Photoshop is capable of producing when you have a bit of imagination.

Step 1

Start by copying this image then create a new document, this should size to the dimensions of the image we copied. Using the paint bucket tool, fill the background layer in black. Next paste the image in then rotate the face slightly to get it it straight. You can use some guides here and match them up with the nose in order to help you.

Step 2

Now we want to straighten up his eyes a bit so first first we need to get rid rid of the original pupil and iris. Create a new layer then select the clone stamp tool and in the main toolbar change sample to ‘all layers’ this will mean that we can clone part of the image but add it to a new layer, this is often the most useful way to use the clone stamp tool. Here I used a soft brush about half the size of the eye, and had it set on 50% opacity. I had to go over it a few times to get it looking good, if your eye is looking a bit blurry after this then clone some of the veins into the middle of the eye and maybe raise the opacity for this. Don’t put too much time into this as most of the parts will be covered by the new pupil we will be adding in. At this point, feel free to go over the edges of the eye as I have done in the image below. Not that at this point we are only working his right eye.

Step 3

Now to get rid of the parts which cross the boundaries of the eye; in the layers panel, press the new layer mask button to add a layer mask to this layer. Next select a black brush with about 80% hardness and roughly the same size as the brush we used in the previous step, also make sure this is set at 100% opacity. Just brush on the layer mask, over the parts which you want hidden. This can also be done by using the pen tool then making a selection from the path, this will give a better curve but since the part that we are working on is so small then the brush should be sufficient for this task.

Step 4

Okay select the layer with the face in it then duplicate it and drag it to the top of the layer stack. What you want to do now is to hold alt and click on the layer mask button; this is a quick way of creating a ‘hide all’ layer mask. Now hide the layer with the white part that you cloned on it then select the brush tool and choose a white 80% hardness brush. What you need to do is match the size of the brush up to the size of the iris, use the ‘[' and ']‘ keys to make it easier. Another tip is when the brush is selected, instead of always going up to the main toolbar to change the settings, just right click in the document and the dialog box should pop up. Once you have the brush matching the size of the iris, select the black layer mask that we just made then clickon the eye, it should look like nothing has happened but if you move this layer then you should see the iris move as well. So move this new one to the middle of the eye and unhide the layer with the white part on it.

Step 5

Now you’ll notice part of it will be outside the eye now so use the same technique as in step 2 to mask this off, obviously you’ve already got a layer mask so you don’t need to add a new one. After you’ve finished with this eye then put these two layers in a new group called ‘right eye’.

Step 6

You now need to do exactly the same with the other eye then if you want you can put both of these in a new group called ‘eyes’ just to keep it neat.

Step 7

Right the next thing I did was to mask out the whole face to hide the background, this is optional but I decided to to do it now even though we won’t be adding a background until a later tutorial. Since this isn’t a masking tutorial I will provide the mask that I used here although you may have to rotate it slightly to match your image. It is probably better to learn the hard way so if you are masking it yourself then first add a layer mask to the face then use a black brush with around 80% hardness and 100% opacity. You will have to constantly change the size of this brush and also probably the hardness. Below are a couple of images to show what my mask looked like.

Step 8

Now we are going to add the crack to his head so I used a picture of dry, cracked mud which can be found here. All I did to get it to this stage was to scale it then I went edit>transform>warp to match to shape of his head. Use the final image at the top to see what part of these cracks we will actually use, you will notice that only the right and middle part of this image actually matches the head, this is because the top, left and bottom won’t be needed.

Step 9

Next add a layer mask to this image then select a large, 0% hardness, black brush and erase the edges using an appropriate opacity. Next lower the opacity slightly in order to blend it in more. Keep working at it until you end up with something that resembles the image below.

Step 10

Now change the blending mode of this layer to overlay, this means that the it will darken the face in the areas that are dark on the crack image and lighten the areas that are light. You will now notice that the color is a bit off and also the cracks are a bit bright. When using image in this way, almost everything can be fixed using both a hue/saturation and a brightness/contrast adjustment layer. First add a hue/saturation adjustment layer then click okay without changing anything. Now hold alt and click between the adjustment layer and the crack layer to add aclipping mask, this means that the hue/saturation will now only affect the cracks. Double click on the hue/saturation layer and you can now alter the settings and see the cracks changing at the same time. What I did was to change it to grayscale by moving the saturation to -100 then I also moved the lightness to -12. Next add a brightness/contrast layer and do the clipping mask thing between this and the hue/saturation layer. Then change the brightness and contrast both to -50. The crack should now look a lot more realistic but feel free to change some of these settings. Lastly create a layer group called crack and drag the layer and the two adjustments into it at the same time. I ussually work in this way where I create an element in quite a disorganised way then arrange it into groups afterwards so as not to break up my creative flow.

Step 11

Now we are going to add the hole in his head, at first I was going to just fill this black or a dark color but I decided to try and make it more realistic by making part of his skull visible. However this is hardly visible in the final image but I do think it adds more depth to the image. Start by copying and pasting this image into your document. Next go edit>transform>flip horizontal because we want it on the right of our image. Now we want to isolate only the crack; you could use a layer mask but there really isn’t any point because we know exactly what part of this image we want, the way do this is just to grab the lasso tool and roughly draw round it then go select>inverse to invert this selection then just hit delete. Now move this roughly over the crack like shown in the image below.

Step 12

Add a layer mask this layer then what you want to do is mask it so it is roughly inside the crack, use the image below as a reference. You will have to vary the brush opacity, size and hardness to get it right. One thing that I often do is what I call ’stroke masking’, to do this add a stroke to this layer using the fx button in the layers panel then for this maybe just change it to about 1px. Now you should have a red line round this layer, so if you now change the fill opacity to 0 or something very low, you can still see the stroke but not the skull. This means that you can now mask it until the stroke matches the cracks while being able to see the cracks.

Step 13

Now create a new layer and select a black brush and paint in the rest of the cracks until it looks like the image below. That’s all there is to it.

Step 14

Next I created a brightness/contrast adjustment layer and changed both to their minimum values. Obviously this changed the whole image so we could either apply a clipping mask or a layer mask; I tried both and found the layer mask way was more versatile and gave a better result. So alt click on the layer mask button to add a black mask then get a whit brush and brush over the skull parts to darken them slightly.

Step 15

This isn’t much of a step so I’ll make it more of a recap, but first create a layer group called ‘hole’ and place these three layers inside it just to tidy things up. Okay for this hole so far we’ve, instead of aiming straight for creating the hole we broke it up into small chunks, which I like too think of as problems, then solved them one at a time. I always find that with this kind of manipulation you always have to build up in a logical manner and works better if each element is built up from another element so here we had the cracks then used the shape of the cracks to build the skull then the hole. Sometimes the hardest part is is working out how to tackle the problems rather than actually doing it and I often spend a significant bit of time working out the way the way Photoshop will handle it. For example you may immediately think that cracks like this would come from making a hole like this and would aim to add cracks round the hole, but since we’re not in the real world here we have to work out the best way of doing it in Photoshop. Below I’ve included an image of what mine looked like up to this point.

Step 16

Next I added the plants in his head so I had something to build the waterfall upon. You can really use any image with plants in it for this, the one I used can be found here. Use the same technique as we used for the skullt o cut out part of the image, this makes it a lot easier to use the free transform tool as we are not working with a massive image. Place it above the hole and if you feel like scaling it, flipping it or rotating it then do that.

Step 17

Now we want to acheive a result like the image below, I have a great technique for working with plants which can add lots of depth to plant even if you are only using one image like we are. First you want to add a layer mask then get rid of all the hard edges then mask round parts of hole, for me this was mainly the bottom right and left then use a lower opacity brush fade some parts that are going to be in distance; this was the top middle part. Now for the technique I mentioned, for this you will need some tree brushes; a really brilliant brush set which I use probably more than any other brush set I’ve downloaded is the tree brushes found here, I’ll say now that I think I’ve only once used these to create trees, as they are a lot more useful for masking. So select one of these brushes and use it to mask this plant by varying the opacity and also using it in white at times. This makes masking trees a lot easier as you dont need to be accurate because you will always recieve a tree like edge. When using thes brushes you have to roughly match up the sizes of the leaves.

Step 18

Now we are going to add the waterfall at last; ironically this was probably the easiest part and only took me about two minutes to finish putting in the waterfall. First copy this image then paste it into your document, resize it then flip it horizontally.

Step 19

First we are going to work on the part at the hole, this is quite easy as the plants in the waterfall image and the plants we added match perfectly. So add a layer mask then get a low opacity black brush and keep brushing until you end up with something like the image below. Do this by subtly blending it and also use the tree brushes if you want. Ignore the water at the moment.

Step 20

The water wasn’t too hard either, first I used a high opacity soft brush to get rid of the rocks and tried to get as close to the water as possible. To make the face show through behind I used a large, low opacity brush and brushed repeatadly up and down the waterfall. Take a bit of time on this part as it will affect the final image a lot.

Step 21

The pool was a bit annoying because I didn’t quite know what to do with it so for this part just use a soft brush to acheive something like the image below and we will work on that part next.

Step 22

Now just put this and the plant layer in a new group called ‘waterfall’. Below I’ve included a large image showing the whole waterfall that you can use for reference.

Step 23

I now needed something to block the water so my first idea was a broch that looked like a skin defect on the nose. I’ll be a bit more vague here as we have covered all the techniques for this already. You might recognise the rock I used here because it came from the same waterfall picture so paste it in again then scale and cut it out roughly to look like the first image then mask it to look like the second.

Step 24

create a new layer then use the clone stamp tool in the same way as we did the eyes just by selecting the target by alt clicking then draw the part you want overe the rock. You will notice that I used part of the hole, this was because I wanted the crack. I scaled it then rotated it to look like the first image. Next I maske out everything except the main crack then changed the layer opacity to 50% and the blend mode to multiply.

Step 25

I used the clone stamp tool again to copy a peice of skin onto a new layer using a soft brush. This gave me a result like shown in the first image, I then changed the blend mode to overlay and the layer opacity to 70% to acheive the final result shown in the second image. Again put these three layers in a new group named ‘rock’.

Step 26

Here I decided to warp the face so that it looket like there was a small hole that the water could sit in, this was probably one of most challenging parts of this image because when working with skin, everything has to look perfect or else it will stand out a lot. First I created a new layer then used the clone stamp tool to copy some of the wringles from just above his left cheek. I rotated them then used the warp tool to curve it slightly. Use the image below as a guide.

Step 27

Now add a layer mask to this and then there’s nothing more to it than just brushing until its looking good, also brush over the main part with a low opacity brush at parts in order to blend it into the skin behind.

Step 28

Next I cloned some normal skin over the right of this wrinkle to extend it and also to blend it into the rest of the face. This obviously had a layer mask and I spent a bit of time working to get this looking normal. Check the image to see what mine looked like.

Step 29

You will notice that the highlights on this wrinkle don’t match the lighting at all, to change this I simply used the eyedropper to select a rough skin color then used a soft low opacity brush on a new layer and painted over these highlights. I then added a layer mask to refine this.

Conclusion

Hopefully you learned something from this tutorial and also achieved a good result. To properly learn these techniques it is often useful to try doing the same thing on another image, maybe your own face to practice.

Photoshop’s Filter Gallery is basically a one-stop place for working with filters in your documents. In the Filter Gallery, you can browse through many different types of filters, apply them individually to your image, or even stack them on top of one another like you would with layers. You can get to the Filter Gallery by going to Filter > Filter Gallery.

Here’s a quick overview of the Filter Gallery:

Applying a filter from the gallery is very easy to do. Simply Click on a filter, adjust it’s options to your liking, and click OK to apply. To stack multiple filters on top of one another, just hit the New Effect Layer (’F’ in diagram above), and select another filter. You can expand filter types by clicking the folders in the filter list.

The Cutout Filter quickly transforms a photograph into an abstract piece of art.

Using Other Filters

Not all filters in Photoshop are available through the Filter Gallery. Many of them must be accessed directly through the Filter Menu, and have unique interfaces and options of their own.

We’re not going to go over every individual filter in this tutorial (doing so would take a very long time), but I highly suggest doing some experimentation on your part with different filters to get an idea of what some of them do.

Let’s look at some of the more common filters used frequently in design.

Blur Filters (Filter > Blur)

The Blur Filters are useful in lots of situations. We’ve actually written several popular tutorials on Tutorial9 that depend on the Blur Filters, such as our article on Adding Depth of Field in Photoshop, and our Windows Vista Aurora Effect Tutorial.

The Lens Blur Filter makes it very easy to create a realistic lens blur effect in Photoshop.

Noise Filters (Filter > Noise)

Noise Filters are great for adding, or reducing noise and grain in photographs. You may find filters such as the Reduce Noise Filter extremely useful if you work with old, damaged, or dusty photographs that need repair work done to them. The Add Noise Filter can also come in handy, and has some creative applications of its own.

Noise can easily be reduced with the Reduce Noise Filter in Photoshop.

Sharpen Filters (Filter > Sharpen)

The Sharpen Filters are also great for correcting imperfections in photographs, as well as putting emphasis on important elements in a design. When working with blurred images, a sharpen filter can be used to clarify and better define edges by increasing contrast between pixels.

The Smart Sharpen Filter used to sharpen a photograph of a statue.

STEP 1

We start selecting that cool eye picture... if you want both eyes to become Hulk eyes, that's double work. For this tutorial, I'm gonna use only one eye. This is a personal picture.

Using the pen tool, select the eye. For those who are not familiar with the pen tool, you can hold and drag the pen to get curves. After doing that, right click inside it and click in "make selection". Go to Select > Modify > Feather > 5. Ok.

STEP 2

Don't loose that selection yet. Create a new layer and name it "GREEN", select it and paint inside the previous eyes selection, painting it all with just 1 click. Don't click several times, Just once. Now, invert the selection and delete... it will make our feather effect smoother. Se the GREEN Layer blending mode to Dodge Color.

STEP 3

Invert the selection once more, and after doing that, click in the Original pic layer, and click CTRL + C and then CTRL + V. That will make an eye copy... name it "EYE".

STEP 4

Now, hold CTRL and click the EYE layer we've made earlier. Go to Create new fill or adjustment layer > Hue/Saturation. For the Hue, use a value proper to your picture... make the eye gamma green.

STEP 5

We're going to use the Dodge and Burn tools. Both of them will have the same values. Range: Midtones, Exposure: 30%. Size the brush as you wish. Use these tools to enhance the areas as shown.

STEP 6

And the Hulk Eye effect is ready. Now we gotta do that greenish feel to the skin. Make a new layer right above the Original layer, fill it with black, set Blending Mode: Hue, Opacity: 40%. Name it "BLACK HUE".

STEP 7

Repeat the same step, but this time, instead of filling this layer with black, use a really dark green. I'm using #030b00 here. Blending Mode: Hue, Opacity: 30%. Name it "GREEN HUE".

STEP 8

Now we must sharp the picture a little bit. Select the ORIGINAL layer, and go to Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask. Set the values as shown. Do the same for the EYE layer, but instead of using 5 for Radius, use 3.

STEP 9

We also gotta set the mood. If your pictures lacks lighting, this is a important step. Click the ORIGINAL Layer, and select the eyes area. Go to Select > Modify > Feather > 40. Invert the selection and go to Image > Adjustments > Levels > 0,50 (for the middle value).

STEP 10

Without losing this selection, create a new layer called "SHADOW" and fill it with black. Set the Blending mode to Overlay, Opacity: 50%.

FINAL RESULT

And we're done! Now we got the awesome Hulk Eyes effect. I hope I made myself clear, and that all of you got the same effect. Enjoy, and cheers! :)

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

::: Skid Row ::: I remember you lyrics :::

I hate myself and wanna die.......... Why.......??
'cause i hate my life........................ Why.......??
'cause i hate my wife...................... Why........??
'cause still i love my wife................ Why.........??
'cause still i love my life.................. Why.........??
'cause still i love myself.................. Why.........??
'cause me = my wife....................... Why.........??

Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears running down my face
Sister, Sister keep me

I hope you always know its true
I would never make it through
We could make the sun go down
Just by walking away
Playing like we used to play
Our kingdom will never go away
Feel you beating in my chest
I'll be dead without

And it'zzzzz my life. . . !!

Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isnt that the way
Everybodys got their dues in life to pay

I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know its everybodys sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life is in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know its true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on...

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

This is my brotha'. Hello dai :) Done with Adobe Illustrator.

Ok sashi here's urs too. Not so clear though. Seems like you are wearing a pair of gaugs. anyways, hope you'll like it. Btw, i had made this a year back i guess. Do comment! :)

tutorial Gimp kali ini kita akan bahas hair extraction di gimp, kalo bahasa Indonesianya mengekstraksi rambut ( halah :D ). ternyata gampang lho hair extraction di gimp cuman perlu 3 langkah...

foto yang di pake masih fotonya Aly & AJ dapet dari googling, belum bosen kan sama Aly & AJ? :D

gini nih caranya....

Langkah ke-1 : Duplikasi Channel

1. duplikasi layer background

2. pindah ke tab Channels pada layer dialog box.

di tab Channels ada red, green dan blue channels, lihat channel yang paling kontras hitam dan putihnya ( liat thumbnail previewnya ). di gambar ini yang paling kontras adalah Channel Blue

3. duplikasi Channel, klik kanan pada Blue Channel trus pilih Duplicate Channel

klk icon mata pada Alpha Channel, jadi yang terlihat hanya Blue Channel Copy-nya saja.

Langkah ke-2 : Menyesuaikan Channel

4. masih di tab Channels, dan pastikan aktif di Channel yang baru kita duplikasi. klik Colors -> Curves... di Image Window-nya, setting seperti gambar dibawah. kalau menggunakan gambar lain atur curves-nya hingga rambut yang akan kita seleksi berwarna hitam ( tapi jangan berlebihan ).

5. edit lagi channelnya dengan levels, Colors -> Levels

6. dengan menggunakan Paintbrush Tool ( P ) wanain hitam gambar yang akan di ekstraksi/seleksi. bikin Alpha Channel menjadi visible lagi ( dengan klik icon matanya lagi ) agar mudah nge-paint-nya.

gak perlu detail-detail amat, karena kita bisa edit nanti pada layer mask-nya.

Langkah ke-3 : Add Layer Mask

7. setelah selesai, bikin invisible channel Blue Channel Copy-nya ( dengan klik icon mata pada channel Blue Channel Copy ). klik kanan lalu klik Add to Selection

8. klik tab Layers, pastikan kita lagi aktif di Layer Background copy. pada image window klik Select -> Invert ( Ctrl + I )

9. klik kanan pada layer Background copy lalu klik Add Layer Mask. di Add Layer Mask dialog pilih Selection

10. selesai deh. untuk liat efeknya bikin invisible layer Background-nya ( klik icon mata pada layer Background ). bisa lihat di gambar bawah, ternyata selection yang aku bikin masih gak rapih ( lihat kotak dan lingkaran merah )

untuk editnya gunakan lagi Paintbrush tool ( P ) tapi pilih brush yang ujungnya smooth ( Circle Fuzzy ) dan pastikan kita paint layer masknya bukan layernya ( kotak putih ada di layer mask, artinya kita lagi aktif di layer mask )

hitam = full opacity
putih = zero opacity

hasil akhirnya :

gampang kan pake gimp... :D

enjoy...

Note the the following literature succeeding 'Face Up' are not related to the Images that go with it. :D And as for the poetry, their not exactly unique bits of my soul so I don't mind plagiarizers at this point, though they will always be pitiful. There are some typographical errors along the way and I don't have the time to copy edit. Some images are also do not have neat finishing coz they're mostly scribbles in a hurry. Enjoy anyway!

Face Up

Adobe Photoshop 7.0

Conquer all your deaths,
face up.
No matter how rotten you are by the flesh,
your dignified soul will fly...
People will think of you this way-
Martyr.
But you are not a slave of your mold.
The real you is all out and untouchable.
Know that as you wither,
you grow... freed of soul-cage...
So conquer .
Live up.

Gimp Trip

My first real photo manipulation using GIMP in Ubuntu Linux -(Fiesty Fawn)

Loser

Still gimp

I feel empty without the pain of love I knew;
I don't feel good enough with the better thing that's new
..Is it?
I would rather not weep but feel,
than shed a few shallow tears and not be tormented;
I ache to be whole,
not to be partly at ease.


Struck, Tripped and Fallen on Sullen Ground

Still gimp
Giving up - is nothing
but a statement man would use to confuse his soul.
You only succeed in giving up...
When you have finally ceased to care,
to love,
...even one bit,
and you will not!
So far beyond your doom - most undesireable,
Understand why tears actually shine,
...and touch you whole,
even in the dark..
They are not telling the world of your pain...
but of the light that transcends from your heart..


Exchanging Creativity
I don't know what version of photoshop she used.
My friend Melody and I exchanged artworks. Here's what I got from her:


I wanna be a Plant
Haha the ancient adobe photoshop 7.0
Maybe because she's all dead..
grieving melancholy bitter...
Still tears, entrapped as they shatter...

Maybe because she's all gone,
after some obsolete appearance..
madness in existence..
an ancient horror for remembrance..
All throughout a petrified void..
Still lost but stolen - a forlorn
though she drowns in a crowd as a good earthly meal -
a societal spice not one of many....
But the rare imposibility, is she?

Is there even a word you can modify to closely fit her?

Maybe because she's dead not vitally....
yet she suffers indescribably....


Sharp Un Witty
still gimp!
Just playin' around...


A Tale of Two Split Schizoids
the ancient 7.0
I guess that means....
8 or more!


Female Hisoka
One of my oldest... you know what software I used.
What is this raging torment that engulfs within to wither...
What is this inevitability!
Mus I always suffer?
Ever so depriving eventhough there's nothing more of me
To steal!
To covet!
How long this mourning?!
Must I ache forever,
Must I cry out these massive bursts of negativity
And search for tears to define pain - human!?
No, this pain is beyond human..
It unstalks death and prolongs
THE SACRIFICE CALLED 'LIFE'
Must I shatter more and more though I am nothing whole?!
Let it end!!!
Free my lungs, shut my eyes
And freeze them against the burning needles of inverted tears!
Clean my heart, untouch my soul...
Pity me, oh torment, Leave me be...


Wrath of the Damned
This was a really good photo to begin with. The editing was more on contrast alone with the ancient ap7.0
Nothing. Just looking like Aaliyah, and complicating her death and life in me.


Yehey! I'm a konoha Ninja
MS PAINT! Kidding! Photoshop 7.0 obviously. Technique here is just to merge various filters so that the digital prints and the actual photo become one.

Joys that aren't achieved over tremendous pressure.
I want those that come in pearce,
in kindness freely given,
in love....
I want joy that does not demand a price or sacrifice...
I want that plain emotion from time to time....


My exchange piece with Lhoody.
GIMP
She did better with that chicmag style above

I'm tired of publishing this! To be continued!...or not!

Description: A tribute to our ever dear Sir Chulou, who will never come back to Zambo again... We will miss him!

Description: This is rain forest thirst, as inspired by the earth hour thingy... The time when there was an hour of world wide (or not) black out.

Description: This is again my li'l anti- social brother... He is no emo, but never the less he loves posing as one...I guess it's the easiest to portray, right? Yagit is not his name but just a silly nick. Yagit is the Filipino interpretation of a stray person, the one you see on the streets doin' absolutely nothing, he got the nick for obvious reasons, lol...

So, now i'll put my pen to the paper - i've become inspired by those here before me,
I've finally found an outlet for my thoughts - a way of telling my story.

Each day i spend with her, is one more day it hurts,
and the pain i feel is real, no matter how much it diverts.
She doesn't realise what i'm feeling, even with my best efforts,
so maybe i should give up, and find some new comforts?

No.

Don't give up on life, and life wont give up on you,
keep your dreams close to your heart, and maybe one day they'll come true.
Dreams give a higher meaning - give us something to persue,
so don't let your dreams run loose, just replay them through and through.

Maybe this is a curse, but this is what i chose to pursue,
i never intended for you to traverse upon my heart - if only you knew.
I wonder if you'd review how this gap grew between me and you,
and see me as more than a simple being - someone so see-through.

Yesterday has come and gone,
and i'm sat here wondering why my feelings for you are so strong.
Am i in the right? Will everything always be so wrong?
i just wish i had somewhere to say, was where i belong.

But as another day ends, a new day begins to dawn,
again i'm rendered useless - i'm the mere pawn.
I remember taking photo's with you, out by the lawn,
and it hurts so bad, but do i really need to be with withdrawn?

No.

Don't give up on life, and life wont give up on you,
keep your dreams close to your heart, and maybe one day they'll come true.
Dreams give a higher meaning - give us something to persue,
so don't let your dreams run loose, just replay them through and through.
