I will not be updating here anymore.
Please add me on that account if you want to continue seeing more of my stuff.

New style!

~milkieMOO — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 07:28:53 PDT

Discovered a new style that I can do, like to do and like the results too.
My personal style, perhaps?
I don't know.

Perhaps, perhaps.

I have been trying too hard to do illustrations.
The styles that I don't like.
Forcing myself to develop in styles that I didn't like and can't do well in.

Resulted in a burn-out.

Anyway, I'm back on my feet again.
Feeling rather inspired lately.
Love this new style that I have discovered I can actually do.

Not too late to change my personal branding...the resumes have not been sent out yet.
Phew.

Questions

~milkieMOO — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:43:28 PDT

Is design mostly about copying?
Copying and editing?
Ripping from existing styles and then just adding a little something more to it and then call it your own?

There are some 'designers' whom I have seen that are completely unoriginal and it is obvious that they have copied their works from someone else.
The similarities are so glaringly obvious, yet they call themselves 'designers' and have people admiring them because either those people do not know of the original works, or do not know how to design at all so they admire whoever is able to open up photoshop/illustrator/any other design program and produce something on it. (such as adding their own name to a ripped work)
Ripping of ideas is the most common of all.
Something new comes out, BANG!!!, out comes 10 others with exactly the same idea, but IMPROVED and NEWER&FRESHER.

Originality doesn't sell.
Ripping and then adding just one small little bit of originality (which only amounts up to 1/10 of the originality of the original piece of work LOL tongue twister!) is what makes you gain recognition, money, fame and all that shit.

This is an issue that I have been having a problem with, and can never seem to get past.
No, I am not jealous of anyone or anything.
It's just another part of this world which I am unhappy about.
(like the evils of marketing, exploitation, discrimination etc.)
Maybe, like exploitation of the poor, it is a problem that can never be solved.
It's like the global warming of the design industry.
Lol,

What's the point of putting things up and releasing things to the public if it is gonna get ripped anyway?
Have to weigh up the pros and cons, I guess.

Creative commons exist, but are they effective?
What is the extent of originality?
But then again, without copying from existing good ideas, will people be able to produce better things?
Use the tried-and-tested-and-proven-effective method first, and then improve on it to succeed.
Is it the only way?

I am inundated by questions which I should not be bothered about at this current stage of life I'm in.

POOFRESH is opened!

~milkieMOO — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:33:14 PDT

HEY PEOPLE.

MY SITE IS OPENED!

D

Still under massive construction; loads of stuff needs to be added in and sorted out.
And I'm hating the layout already, after having stared at it while coding for days.
Zzz.

Anyone wanna do a link exchange?

OHOH, and any recommendations for a domain name host?
I only need to buy a .com/.net/.org, excluding the hosting package.
If you know any, please recommend, thanks!

Hmm, have been thinking about making a new more "professional" portfolio recently.
Was looking through the deviations for this account and my previous account, and I must say, I can't remember how I did 70% of the stuff.
Especially those in my 2004 account.
Like, seriously.
Back then I was using Jasc Paint Shop Pro, and now I'm using the Adobe package.
Actually they work quite the same, with Adobe being more advanced lah.
But I don't really understand how I did most of the abstract stuff in my portfolios.
Like those with random shapes and lines.
LOL.
Guess it's good to do this kinda stuff?
Random abstract works about how you're feeling at the moment.
Even though no one else will probably understand it, not even you, a few years or even a few days later.
That's the uniqueness of it.

I like the fat round tummy of this emoticon *points below*
It reminds me of my own.
LOL.
Zzz have been eating too much lately...-_-

I subscribe to the religion of the purple steamed bananas.
If you are in such a dire need for something to believe in, why not join me in my religion?

We only need to eat pink grapefruit everyday.
Oh, and loads of veggies too.

Website!

~milkieMOO — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 00:19:57 PDT

POOFRESH.

New website.
Gonna be doing more design work in my spare time, like creating icons/blends/layouts and stuff.

Hopefully it will bloom into money-making opportunities in future.
HAHAHA.
(That's what I'm taking DCMD for right?!? To earn money through design in future- lolol)

For now it's gonna be a simple personal website + limited content!
There's still alot of developmental work that can be done but I'm not in a hurry cuz there's still a long way ahead.

Sort of like revising my work.
It IS design.

My interest is coming back again.

Woohoo!

Okay I am reallllyyy getting old already and should really stop using such act-cute nicks...

Sigh.

~milkieMOO — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 07:47:45 PST

Looking back at all that I have done for the past year (after enrolling into an art course)...
I feel slightly disappointed.
Why??
The standard of my works haven't seem to improve.
And I still haven't found/am losing my personal style.

Owell...

Portrait of an INTP - Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving
(Introverted Thinking with Extraverted Intuition)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Thinker

As an INTP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. They seek clarity in everything, and are therefore driven to build knowledge. They are the "absent-minded professors", who highly value intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions. They typically are so strongly driven to turn problems into logical explanations, that they live much of their lives within their own heads, and may not place as much importance or value on the external world. Their natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding may turn into a feeling of personal responsibility to solve theoretical problems, and help society move towards a higher understanding.

INTPs value knowledge above all else. Their minds are constantly working to generate new theories, or to prove or disprove existing theories. They approach problems and theories with enthusiasm and skepticism, ignoring existing rules and opinions and defining their own approach to the resolution. They seek patterns and logical explanations for anything that interests them. They're usually extremely bright, and able to be objectively critical in their analysis. They love new ideas, and become very excited over abstractions and theories. They love to discuss these concepts with others. They may seem "dreamy" and distant to others, because they spend a lot of time inside their minds musing over theories. They hate to work on routine things - they would much prefer to build complex theoretical solutions, and leave the implementation of the system to others. They are intensely interested in theory, and will put forth tremendous amounts of time and energy into finding a solution to a problem with has piqued their interest.

INTPs do not like to lead or control people. They're very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of their firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged, in which case they may take a very rigid stance. The INTP is likely to be very shy when it comes to meeting new people. On the other hand, the INTP is very self-confident and gregarious around people they know well, or when discussing theories which they fully understand.

The INTP has no understanding or value for decisions made on the basis of personal subjectivity or feelings. They strive constantly to achieve logical conclusions to problems, and don't understand the importance or relevance of applying subjective emotional considerations to decisions. For this reason, INTPs are usually not in-tune with how people are feeling, and are not naturally well-equiped to meet the emotional needs of others.

The INTP may have a problem with self-aggrandizement and social rebellion, which will interfere with their creative potential. Since their Feeling side is their least developed trait, the INTP may have difficulty giving the warmth and support that is sometimes necessary in intimate relationships. If the INTP doesn't realize the value of attending to other people's feelings, he or she may become overly critical and sarcastic with others. If the INTP is not able to find a place for themself which supports the use of their strongest abilities, they may become generally negative and cynical. If the INTP has not developed their Sensing side sufficiently, they may become unaware of their environment, and exhibit weakness in performing maintenance-type tasks, such as bill-paying and dressing appropriately.

For the INTP, it is extremely important that ideas and facts are expressed correctly and succinctly. They are likely to express themselves in what they believe to be absolute truths. Sometimes, their well thought-out understanding of an idea is not easily understandable by others, but the INTP is not naturally likely to tailor the truth so as to explain it in an understandable way to others. The INTP may be prone to abandoning a project once they have figured it out, moving on to the next thing. It's important that the INTP place importance on expressing their developed theories in understandable ways. In the end, an amazing discovery means nothing if you are the only person who understands it.

The INTP is usually very independent, unconventional, and original. They are not likely to place much value on tra...

YO!
