Where'd you come from, where'd you go? Where'd you come from cotton-eye Distello? ~

".... and what the living shit have you been up to for the past year?"

Well my good friend and trusted colleague, that is a very good question, I'm glad you asked. The answer? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck all *ahem* not much, surprisingly.

"But but, Distello! I love you! I need to know more! Show me something, anything! Let me fornicate with it in the background!"

Oh alright then, since you asked so nicely; let's get to it:

Our story begins with a vector:

Eh, not the best, but I was all giddy about buying this certain pair of headphones. Which incidentally, broke last week.

Perhaps the most favourite piece I have ever done, personally:


and made in a similar fashion shortly after:


Also, some icons for a bunch of random free software tools that had those really shitty pixelated icons from the XP days:



Nothing professional, I just got tired of their previous ugliness on my desktop.

Yeah.... two. Not including the Frozen one currently in my sig, if that counts.

Great Scott!!!:

They're his 'sunglasses', alright?

A random JFF:


Also bought one of these colour calibration do-dickies that was in the box and returned the morning after this photo was taken. It sucks:


Oh and another one of these:

I learnt some new techniques this year; including how to vexel. (What I mean is, I'm lazy and developed a technique to fake a vexel, still takes a while):

Actually best viewed at 100% for the lines to be nice and sharp.

Which has the convenient advantage of looking like concept art when combined with my sketch action:

Link to which is available here, by the way.

Another vexel:


The hair of which took a pretty fucking long time:


I also learnt what triangulation is:



And used it to make a really minimalistic desktop wallpaper, because I like very plain wallpapers:


Speaking of desktops, I re-built mine:

A second 970 (Graphics card) will be going in next week. (I'm like a kid at Christmas currently).



That just about wraps things up. Really haven't done much this year. I did spend a few months learning InDesign, I'm still not as fluent as say... Photoshop, but pretty close.
I also overhauled my website, which has been in my sig for a while. I have a logo now! Courtesy of Apathy's really fucked up way of drawing capital A's and a brief edit on my part.

With that I'm out. Peace!
