Just Finished...

You know, I've already made a blog on Windows Live, but somehow I don't like the interface. I don't know, I just don't like it... Indeed it has an independent desktop editor program, but I just don't like it. I prefer Blogger more, so that's why I'm using it!

Anyway, I've been learning Photoshop all by myself for quite a while (or no... if learning from various forums isn't counted as self-learning), and I've taken an interest in coloring pics. My classmate has recently requested me to color his pic. Well, since I need refreshments from these ridiculous tests of madness, I guessed that receiving the offer wouldn't hurt.

Surprisingly, I've finished it in just two days! (I've just done it this morning...) I know it's a little bit blurry and messy, but I guess that's understandable, since I'm a mere beginner...




Before the Coloring Process
After the Coloring Process




















I only separated some parts of the picture into several layers, such as the pants, the hoodie, the hair, and the rainfall, and filled it with different colors. If you ask about the lighting effect, it's merely gradient colors, and somehow I managed to get it right. At first, the rainfall looked like shooting stars, even though I had colored them aqua blue... but heck, at that time, I had just found a lightning brush set, so I did some trial-and-error and Bingo! It looks a little more like raining, right?

Feel free to drop by and put in some comments! I'm an amateur myself, so I certainly won't know what's wrong with my works... (=.=')

Oh by the way, the original illustrator of the picture is Albert Theodore Pranoto, my classmate in XI-IA2, St. Louis 1, a Catholic Senior High School in Surabaya.

BOLT! 4G Mobile Wi-Fi Review

If you're a guy who always follows how technologies advance, then you must know 4G. Yes, the next generation of GSM network (and also CDMA) promises clearer voice quality and significantly faster data transfer. Though that sounds fantastic, the availability of such network is currently limited to a handful of countries. Heck, even the next generation 4G (like LTE-A and 5G) is currently being deployed and developed respectively as we speak. BOLT! is the first operator to offer 4G network in Indonesia One of the countries that is currently preparing for 4G network is Indonesia. No offense, but I'm kind of pessimistic, since the 3G networks here suck pretty bad. But it's not that all bad. While telco operators are testing 4G networks in various locations, there's already one new kid on the block offering the sweetness of 4G network. Well, Folks, let me introduce you to BOLT!, a new operator which focuses on delivering 4G data. Unfortunately, it's currently av...

Logitech mk240 Mouse Combo Review

What do you do when you have a Windows tablet that doesn't include a keyboard dock? No, you neither throw it into the trash can or merely play games with it. You'll buy a set of wireless mouse and keyboard and of course, a USB OTG cable and put them together. That way, you'll have yourself a complete 'hybrid' notebook, albeit cheap. Now, I'm pretty certain that you're thinking that there's no such set that has the right size for your tablet. It'd make you look very ridiculous, and you'll be ashamed to bring it with you, even to your favorite café. Fortunately, I have a solution that I recently found. The Logitech mk240 Keyboard + Mouse Combo. It's not the best solution, but at least it can save you some cash and a little bit of embarrassment. Logitech mk240 Mouse Combo Official Shot (White) With the width almost equal to a widescreen 10" tablet, this might be the closest-to-perfection keyboard to pair with yo...

Which WinRAR Compression Do You Need? [GUIDE]

Okay, this is finally the time when I write a serious (and perhaps useful) post. The last time I wrote a post was about the first anniversary for Steve Jobs' passing. You can read it below this post. He was one of great people that mankind will miss. Anyway, the post before the anniversary was already weeks ago. Thanks to the busy routines and tons of assignments in my lecture, I almost abandoned by beloved blog. Today, though... marks the day for my return. Hit the break if you're interested about the meaning behind 'Store', 'Fast', 'Best', etc. :D
