Upgrading the Review System

Alright. I am going to add 2 more colors to the review system and they are going to be: Purple and Blue. These are higher than Green and when I give them out, which I will rarely do, it will be because what I found is a masterpiece.

So lets review the colors in terms of descriptions:

Purple – I bought this at least 3 times!
Blue – I bought this once

1st Draft Design

draft1

1st Draft of the Redesign but it would have been a bitch to make it responsive. Plus it felt clutter and many of the “blocks” seems to call too much attention.

So my second design focus on a “vertical center”, making the eyes not move all over the place, and reset and able to focus on the layers of the navigation. I think this works better!

Few Changes to the Site

I decided to make the Review page to be upfront and more important as a factor to my personal site. It will receive most of my attention there as I will try to make a more constructive review weekly or daily.

Just for your information, all reviews are bias. I will do my best to be very critical and at the same time provide legitimate evidence to why I am critical.

I am most likely going to redesign my website around that too. Hopefully not too vastly.

Let’s get this rolling!

Rewriting Eslend

I have been on a hiatus for almost forever.

Because of that, my skills of then are probably better now, and a huge difference of the art would be seen in each page I make.

Thus, I think I am going to rewrite some of the pages, reexamine the story, and find a better use of the plot devices that I can utilize now.

EF me man!

Ai Weiwei

It’s bad enough that when I first saw this name, I was thinking of this:

I first glimpsed Ai Weiwei’s name in my “Artist in their own Word” class in a very motivating documentary about him. He is an artist and an activist that just does things.

I would recommend watching, “AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY” because it made me reevaluate my life.

Thus…

dotSpiral has gone through a change.

This personal website is going through a change.

And I, myself, am going through a change.

Winter Breaking…. ending

Damn.

Alright, I haven’t update in a while because the Fall Semester of school really kicked my ass. I have plenty to say but let me organize that into other posts. I want to see if I can take my website into different and better directions.

Semester Progressing

So 4 Studio classes. I am bound to improve. And I think I will.

I am taking Human Anatomy and it is helping me structure my human drawings.

Here is something I made without any references.

No Ref here!

I have to post a Before and After at the end of the semester!

Day 15

Little Black Angel

Thinking about rendering the hands and face. I will probably will.

[Explain like I am 5] Programming Concepts – Delegates

Delegates.

Think of them as this way.

Say you have a Function that is a box. This box has no name. What a delegate does is allow you to name the box. So when you call the name of this box it will perform that function.

Pretty awesome.

Day 14

Still working on this beauty:
