Last month i was starting to lo9st interest of what i was studying, i wasnt studying, or making th homework. I was starting to think i wanted to change my mayor to what i also liked, 3d designer. Lattly i have talk and go around with my friends and suddenly now i know whay i study what im studying. My friends as well are studying engineering, architecture, etc. I love to talk with them about it, its really entretaining and fun to talk about. I as always, try to in some kind try to be the best, i dont want to brag around but is how i feel, and now that i feel some kind of competition with my friends it makes me feel joyful again. I have desided to use the internet 50% of what i was used to use the internet. Thats implies sigs and design as well, even though that i steel love it. Im glad that i feel the same feeling as i use to, the feel of competition. I know this is nothing interesting to read about but oh well, this is my Journal after all :P. Give your feeling about what you are studying here if you want to :)

Some of my newest sigs.
by Green_Lizard on Comments
Sigs is not only about editting or custom brushes, i felt to post two of my sigs and make a few explanation of what i did. i course i wont tell everything but youll get he idea. BTW i know im not the best sig maker or something, i just feel to add something to my journal :P.
1. First SO sig i did to Yama:
Yama told me he wanted a SO sig. I first though of making a space sig or something, but then he told me he wanted the sig to be "a beach sig". The idea of drawing the Bg came to my mind, so i started to make a drawing of the sig and it ended looking like this:
I know it doesnt look fancy, but oviously i was goin to add more things into it. After searching for a while, i saw a SO logo that i liked alot, so i desided to duplicate it by drawing it myself, i also added some shapes i though looked fine on it. it doesnt look like the original one but it looks fine:
Well, after that, i saw the SO font and i just use it and add it on the sig, i also make some shapes to make the "Y" of yama's name. I also edited the images and madde some lighning...and added a thin white border.
2. I drew the BG of this one as well, and repainted and eddited the pic of Jill too:
First i drew the bg and Zombies, and used some of the brightness:
Then, i added some borders and font:
Finally it looked like this. I re-painted jill to make her look as she looks now....ill post the original pic of Jill after the sig:
Ok, i found it, This was the pic i used :)

Dreams
by Green_Lizard on Comments
Sometimes when i sit in my chair thinking about my life i always figured out doesnt matter what i study or do, it wont be much different to how it is now. Alot of people use to tell me that you always can ashive your dreams if you work hard, with out quiting. Even though it may be true, my dreams are different of what people use to have. I dont dream about, what im goin to be in the future or how im goin to ashive what ever i want to, my dreams cant just be made in real life.
Even though sometimes its sad that there is no way i could make my dreams true, i still love to have them. I always dream about a peaceful place, runing trough the grass, tasting the fruits, the nature. Just try to think, how it would feel if you just lay down on the grass, then you just start hearing the birth singin a beatiful song, so relaxing. you think how it would feel tp feel the fresh and clean air pass trough your fingers like a really soft carpet making you small and smooth tickling on you fits and harms. Breath hard, feel the fresh air inside you, feel how we could have live if the human wouldnt have been so greedy, hateful, venganceful. Just think how whould you feel if you eat one of this fresh, clean fruits from the top of the tallest trees around that fantasy world, as tall as the biggest of the mointains, hard to ashive. How enjoyable that could be, ashive something unthinkable. When you start eating that fruit, you starts feeling how the sweet juice of the fruit pass trough your body, inside you, something freash and clean hard to explain. What i like of the dreams is that you can think what ever you want, you have the control, dont let noone control it for you, IT IS YOUR PLACE TO BE REALLY FREE OF EVERYTHING.
It is sad that the true world is so corrupted by power and hate, that a simple fantasy such as mine will never be true. Even though i know life is hard why whe can just leave in peace, loving each other, carring of others. Dreams will be always dreams, they are so hard to ashive that they will never be true.

I hope i get better on the next one.
Being great at some stuff is a good thing?
by Green_Lizard on Comments
I was thinking this days, why being skillful and some things are good at all? I consider myself really good at making sigs, wallpapers, and drawing (still need to learn). Im also not that bad at playing games.
When i began playing games i was really bad at them, but still i enjoy to play them, i liked the challange, the emotion and thinking how i could do this and that. I also had something similar when i make my sigs; when i was new to this kind of program like PS, Picture it, etc, i felt so great to make my sigs, do what ever i want with out carring of what people think of what i do. I remember i made so many sigs to my many friends and even though i knew they didnt like most of them i steel enjoy to try as hard as i can. I dont know if being noobish make you look at the world that you still dont know in a diferent way, but it surely make you more exited and gives you more freedom at what you do.
I always though, " being skillful at certein stuff is good or it just make you afraid of what people can think about you making you lock most of your thoughts and ideas inside you just for the sake of making other people like it? I certenly do think thats is true in some way, at least that apply to me. When i became good at design sigs and stuff, alot of people just expect from me something about what avarage people do, im starting to hate that kind of treatment. Even though i still have this noobish ideas of what i could do, i do not make them, i know those ideas will not pleece the people that i like to be admired from. Always came to my mind, is it good to be actually good? i seriously think it isnt. I basically keep repeating the same things i do in all the sigs, and i as an artist do think thats just not good at all and i lost interest on them really quick. Everything to satisfied the people that admired me........meh...why i should care if im not being happy, why i should care about what people that i actually dont know thinks....why, why, why ? being skillful rise the expectation of the people that know ou, i dont want that, i shouldnt care, but i do; i know i keep repeating the same things but is just that this kind of thoughts keep coming to my mind like some kind of virus on my brain. What is better, being "good" or being Happy. I seriously have to sit one day and reorganize my thoughts of what is really essential. To me something artistically that have alot of feelings on it is much better than just a cold plain, good looking art.
From now on i will became a "noobish" again and enjoy what i really like, alot of people complain about how bad is being a noob, but i do thing is one of the best things it can happen, you enjoy everything and everything is challanging to you. I just hope i can keep my thoughts right and dont confuse about what i want and what people want. I will try my best to express and try what i do really want to do, being a noob...start all over again from the begining, being happy.
Real friends?
by Green_Lizard on Comments
Before i you read this you have to have in mind that i speak spanish and im still learning english. So, even though it will have some bad spellings and bad sentences concordance i will gladly if you read this :).
Alot of people must think that having a forum friends is something for nerdish people or people that do not have any friends in "real life", I was one of those persons. When i was in high school i had a friend that like to chat in the internet, me as well as most of my classroom friend underestimate him alot. Even though he was endeed a great friend we usually made jokes about how nerdish he was. Even though, at least me, though he was taking those jokes as a joke and not seriously, i noticed i was wrong. I indeed did alot of pranks to that poor guy, he even cried because of me. I fell really bad when i saw him crying, too bad i never like to express any feelings or pety to no one, i still do. Even though he call his mother and i got suspended from school for a couple of days, i always though why he was like that, why he dont have any "real friends"? Sudenly as we were growing and becoming more mature i noticed that my friend was changing, he looked different, and hes actitud was changing as well. I noticd that he now have the "real friends" he wanted that much, i was kinda glad but i knew those friends werent exactly the type of friends i was thinking of. To make this long story short now im in third year of collage studying mechanical engineering.
One day i was talking wit one of my best friends one day ( i knew him since six grade) and sudenly that guy came to my mind, i asked him about how he was now, is he studying, how he is? My best friend told me that he was on drugs, he isnt studying and he becamed kinda retarded now because of the drugs. He told me that his mother was sufering because of that, hes older brother was a drogadict as well, and she gave all her hopes on him. I was impacted when my friend told me that, the guy was even smarter than me, he had exelent grades, i never though he would be dumb enough to fell on that kind of life. I fell kinda guilty, i though i kinda enduce him to that life, i was the one of the pranks, mokery and the one thats asked himm all those stupid questions to him. He wanted to have friends and now look at him, he is worst now that he was when he hadnt any. I still feel guilty, but i dont think all the guilt have to be on me, he desided his life, and i cant make him change. There is a popular phrase in spanish that i always think when im goin to choose the friend im with " is better be alone than being with a bad companion".
It is sad i noticed that having some friends on the internet is not bad at all, if not of what type of friend you are with. Thats what make the difference in all, too bad i noticed that too late. Right now i have been in Gs over two years and a half, and i had alot of different friends here. Even though i cant interact with them i know the are part of my life and some of them make me what i am now. Even though i had alot of friends over the years i have a predilected bunch of friends. To name a few Yama, Pegnose, SL, and Hugo are my favorite friends here. Yama like alot of games i do, even though he is really good at them and i suck as much as if a car run over your head mean while a dog pee in your cloth, i like to talk with him about them some times. he also like design and stuff like i do, he is a really good internet friend. Pegnose even though is diferent from Yama and he dont type on aim like if he want to go to the bathroom so bad like Yama do (really fast), is a great friend as well. Is there is something i like of hism are their drawings, i also like drawings and thats something we chair as friends. Sl, even though in ths past month he always aim me and then he becaim idle on aim (anoying as hell) he is a great friend and artist, even though he sometimes make some jokes i dont get lol. Beside, he like tanga girls and that cant be a bad thing. He also recomended me some 3d programs and give me his opinion about my work,...and his names is Jaque.........HAHAHAHAHA j/k. Hugo, well he is the hardest to talk in aim, he always post this stupid faces i always hate.....well exept the lips face, that one owns all, he is funny. He sucks at PS7 and he is a spamer. Me, azrael and him use to make threads in spanish on OT inthe old days, those were the days :).
As a conclusion my point is that it doesnt matter, how far or how you comunicate with your friends, friends are friends, there is not such thing as "real friends". A friends care about you and dont induce you to be a poor, drogadict jack ass that dont have any ashivments in life. Even though i still regreat some things i did in the past, i cant change that, but i can became better that i was, and try to help and be as friendly as i can.
