Content : Process

2009-05-05T13:42:00.001-07:00

Firstly, I made a black background. Then, I drew lots of stars using circles. The big shiny star up there is made by pen tool. Lastly, the stars are glowed using the outer glow stylize effect.

The next step involves of creating a planet, or a moon i suppose. If you used to see movies, planets have glows around them including Earth. The outer glow effect is then applied to the whit planet.

Lastly, Domo is placed on the big glowing planet.

Domo: Process

2009-05-05T11:33:00.001-07:00

The base shape is made and black outer glows are created to form shadows.
The mouth, eyes and teeth are added to form Domo. Later on, shadow details are added.
Afterwards, hands are drawn. Using a pen tool.
Legs are formed using pen tool and the same base colours.
Lastly, shadows and lighting are drawn using a pen tool. There, domo is finished.

Neon City : The Process

2009-05-05T11:21:00.000-07:00

The city background is a radial gradient of grey and red. It is rectangular in shape.

The ground is made also with the same gradient. The ground is then added an outer glow effect. Can be found in Stylize. Its a normal colour mode.

Buildings and houses are drawn and there are stain marks on the streets made with charcoal brush tool. The shadow of the house is made by adjusting the opacity of the layer.

Details are added. The cracks are made with the brush (charcoal).

Yellow lights are added to the windows on the buildings. Light glows are made with outer glow tool.

Big Willy is placed in Neon City destructing everything. He even eats human. The cake emblem on his shirt is made with live trace. We don't want too much detail on that, Big Willy is The Object. The final details are adding the clouds.

Big Willy's Arms

2009-05-05T11:08:00.000-07:00

I added the final details and shadows to his arms. Opacity of all these layers are 100%. NO TRANSPARENT. For brighter colours.

Big Willy's Body

2009-05-05T11:04:00.001-07:00

Process: Big Willy Head

2009-05-05T10:39:00.000-07:00

I drew a base shape to make the head. It's a basic coloured shape. Made with pen tool. The slot for the eye is made by right clicking the shape and set compound path, to make it a compund.

After drawing the base, I moved on to the base details located on the head. No opacity had been changed to mantain a solid colour. The same above technique is used. Also added some 2-coloured and 3-coloured radial and linear gradient on this part.

I made the details on the face by drawing the eyebrows, pupils and ears. Used Pen-tool.

Made a new layer and drew a teeth for the head. Also the jaw is drawn, first with a base colour then added some details.

Hair, mouth, shadows and details are drawn using the pen tool with 100% opacity. The head is finished. As you can see, i used gradient tool to make the colour looks realistic.

2009-03-22T23:48:00.000-07:00

Ok..here we are..the second assignment..im gonna start early bcause of what happened during my first assignment...restless..heres a little something about hari raya in my life..or some would say Eid Ul Fitr..

"I was touched when the Ramadhan comes to an and. All the fasting and Tarawih comes to an end. And for my siblings, they bounced in joy hearing that we are going to celebrate Eid Ul Fitr in a few days. For me, Hari Raya is a meaningful day in every year. It's a day when families unites and celebrate their achievement. My Hari Raya is filled with tears of joy. It's a day filled with cookies, 'ketupat', 'rendang', fireworks, and everything.

It's hard to see a Hari Raya with sadness in the house. Everyone is laughing, forgiving and all kind of good things happen that day. Oh I just love Hari Raya."

HISTORY OF SKODA AUTO

The origins of Škoda go back to the early 1890s where, like many long-established car manufacturers, the company started out with the manufacture of bicycles. It was 1894, and 26-year old Václav Klement, who was a bookseller by trade in Mladá Boleslav, in today's Czech Republic, which was then part of Austria-Hungary, was unable to obtain the right spare parts to repair his German bicycle. Klement returned his bicycle to the manufacturers, Seidel and Naumann, with a letter, in Czech, asking for them to carry out repairs, only to receive a reply, in German, stating: "If you would like an answer to your inquiry, you should try writing in a language we can understand". A disgusted Klement, despite not having any previous technical experience, then decided to start his own bicycle repair shop, which he and Václav Laurin opened in 1895 in Mladá Boleslav. Before going into business partnership with Klement, Laurin was an already established bicycle manufacturer from the nearby town of Turnov.

The first model, Voiturette A, was a success and the company was established both within Austria-Hungary and internationally. By 1905 cars were being produced by the firm. During the First World War Škoda was engaged in war production.

After WWI it began producing trucks, but in 1924, after running into problems and being hit by a fire, the company sought a partner. As a result it merged with Škoda Works, the biggest industrial enterprise in Czechoslovakia. Most later production was under the Škoda name. After a decline during the economic depression, Škoda was again successful with models such as the Popular in the late 1930s.

During the World War II Occupation of Czechoslovakia, the Škoda works was turned into part of Hermann Göring Werke serving the German World War II effort.
