I'm back from the dead again with a big announcement:
My little sister is now officially on deviantArt and Etsy! :)

She is new here, so please make her feel welcome :lol:
:iconsilvereclipsejewelry:

She's leaning into jewelry design, but she is a bit shy as she's just starting out the whole thing, so I'd appreciate it if you gave her current works a look and motivated her a bit :)

Here's a handful of her crafts:

This is my little one that made me proud today:

I've been doing this and that and working my ass off to pay off the rent debt as well as save up some coinage. And so, I've bought a Canon EOS 60D!!! Yay! :lol:
...now I can take pictures! ...and video!

Not much more to say really.
Maybe I'll add that I've been contacted by a Valve-licensed company that wants to commercially produce one of my designs and sell world-wide! Of course they want to buy the designs from me, which is cool, and they also promised to feature me on the product boxes, which is good too :lol:

As you may or may not have noticed, I have not been updating the journal for quite a while now. The reason for this heresy is once again - studies.
However, I kept adding more stuff to the gallery, so shouldn't be too bad :lol:

Now as you can see, I've also coded a new skin for myself - YAY!
No more searching for skins that might or might not work for me - i shall rely on my own ingenuity from now on :D
A few features of the skin include a menu at the top of the journal, glowing text and a nice sleek overall look. Poke around, I am sure you will like it :)

And there was a good reason for that to happen! Basically I've had so much shit going on that I didn't have the time to come here :(
I've had like 6 deadlines for coursework submission, found a job, had to deal with uni projects, etc. So please don't blame me - blame the society :D

Ok, that being said - I'm back in action!!!

In any case...
I have just tapped into the almighty resources of random.org and we have two winners for the 50 and 25 point prizes!

The numbers it threw at me were 88 and 32!

Watcher number 88 is :iconcatc0617: and she wins 50 points!
Watcher number 32 is :iconjaszcakes: and she wins 25 points!

First of all, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone appreciating my art! I've been keeping my promise to add stuff regularly and I've also recently hit 12K views :)

How to enter: Everything's real simple: to enter, all you have to do is be a watcher! Nothing else.
Prize draw: The prize draw will happen on 29th of February, 23:59GMT. I will utilize the RANDOM.ORG to generate me 2 random numbers, which will correspond to the watcher number on my watcher list.

So anyway, since I have this puppy for a year, I better get used to it and use it to the full extent!

If you know something about video games, you must have surely heard of DooM series. The one I'll be talking about in this case is DooM3.

As you may or may not know, "plz" accounts are a great way to enhance your conversations, your journal or the descriptions under your art.
Certain "plz" accounts were created to aid in making your descriptions look a bit more professional than everyday folk's...

So I thought I'd update mine accordingly!
...but then bad things started happening... I could not find certain "plz" accounts for software, or the ones I DID find were just plain ugly. Solution? I made my own!

Anyhow, I've also captured my whole process on video in time-lapse, so everyone is more than welcome to check out my progress and leave some critique over here: http://www.youtube.com/quatr00#p/c/9D1FE9A567013D34 (YouTube playlist)

Thank you for your time and have a nice day :)

P.S.: This cat will come in handy for a project I have in mind ]:) ]]> http://xquatrox.deviantart.com/journal/Webcam-for-WIP-219317885 http://xquatrox.deviantart.com/journal/Webcam-for-WIP-219317885 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:11:27 PDT Webcam for WIP nonadult journals/personal xQUATROx http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/q/xquatrox.png?2 Copyright 2011-2013 =xQUATROx @QUATRO_RV
I thought of this neat idea... Since I don't want to jam my gallery with a bunch of Work in Progress (WIP) stuff and I post that shit elsewhere anyway, I'm just gonna use the "WEBCAM" panel to link my latest WIP images to DeviantART :D
So it's gonna be sort of like some live WIP update panel...
Pretty nifty, and I won't fill my gallery with crap :D

So anyway, as always - have a nice day! :lol: ]]> http://xquatrox.deviantart.com/journal/HOLIDAY-219384109 http://xquatrox.deviantart.com/journal/HOLIDAY-219384109 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:30:08 PDT HOLIDAY! nonadult journals/personal xQUATROx http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/q/xquatrox.png?2 Copyright 2011-2013 =xQUATROx @QUATRO_RV So I guess this will give me +100% boost to relaxation, +30% boost to free time and +5 vodkas to keep my buzz going :D
Whatever the case, I'm gonna have some fun outside with my friends and....finally learn how to model a car?
Anyhow, I wish everyone a great time. Be sure sniff around my page and comment/fave my art :)

Anyway, here's the result on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yvu_LSEY88
I hope that whoever watches it - likes it... ]]> http://xquatrox.deviantart.com/journal/Dusting-off-the-old-lens-221263126 http://xquatrox.deviantart.com/journal/Dusting-off-the-old-lens-221263126 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:17:50 PST Dusting off the old lens... nonadult journals/personal xQUATROx http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/q/xquatrox.png?2 Copyright 2011-2013 =xQUATROx @QUATRO_RV But this is not the point. What it IS about is that I found an old objective (made of two lenses). I don't know where it's from and what kind of device it was a part of, but what does matter it that it's small and is now duct-taped to my camera :D

I always liked to play with random lenses and optical crap I find laying around, but just did not think of a practical use to that. But today I finally did!
Now...I own a cheap camcorder which is not really as great as the almighty 7D or 5D MK.II.
And I always wanted to try all sorts of cool stuff like shallow focus or cool macro stuff :)
I finally can, and ]]> http://xquatrox.deviantart.com/journal/quot-Welcome-to-Mars-marine-quot-221794170 http://xquatrox.deviantart.com/journal/quot-Welcome-to-Mars-marine-quot-221794170 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:40:55 PST "...Welcome to Mars, marine..." nonadult journals/personal xQUATROx http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/x/q/xquatrox.png?2 Copyright 2011-2013 =xQUATROx @QUATRO_RV
