Wow... its been a while

So here we are the first post of a new blog, I hate writing these first ones, its difficult to figure out what to say. Oh I know, "Hi." How's that, feel better?

Anyway, down to business what are we doing hear? Well I know why I'm hear. This blog is here to keep a record of what I'm up to in my spare time. (the stuff I want to share that is.)

I'm currently in a bit of a weird place right now, I'm 25 been out of university know for 4 years (seriously they say time flies. Its true.) And I am looking to try and once again reach into the world of the arts, its been too long.

I have studied both graphic design and game design in the past with a honours degree under my belt, but over the past 4 years I haven't looked into progressing in these areas. That is where I want to start making a change. It's about time that I pulled my finger out as they say, and start working towards something awesome.

For me, I want to use this chance to get an online portfolio put together, along with my random thoughts on stuff that's going on, Like that screaming child outside, please stop screaming its too early in the morning...

...OK so back to the matter at hand, a picture, lets have one of those.

Queen of Hearts (tutorial piece)

So here's a little something I cooked up in-between working. This piece was created from one of the many photoshop magazines I have lying around doing nothing. The plan at the moment, is to actually start using these magazines for something other than gathering dust. The base images were provided but all the rest of the work was done myself (with the help of the magazine of course.) 

The pieces that I will be putting up for a while will most likely be tutorial pieces, as I am currently trying to re-familiarise myself with the many features of photoshop, along with learning about the parts I have never heard of.

So with all that said and done its time for me to start my next piece.
