I am getting a bit better now with Photoshop and I tried to do some 3D lettering. So I did my name as a test. I think it looks ok. I need to make it a bit more flashy. I am thinking of making it neon or glittery colors in my next attempt.
I spent the past week in aww and a bit of jealousy. I kept saying to my self, “how can people make amazing digital art? It looks so complicated and I am just lazy.” I learned to be lazy from being a programmer. 
So I told my self that I will do it too. I will become a great digital artist too! I don’t care how long it will take me, but I will learn it. I hate Photoshop and all its amazing power, but I will make proper digital art.
I hated photoshop from the beginning. I hated its complicated layering systems, its window within window just so you can do one alteration. I just hated it, and I seldom ever used it. I kept thinking, why would anyone use this crap? It’s not graphical user friendly. I am used to fast paced software that will help me do what I need to design quickly. To me time is luxury, and I don’t want to spend time doing one little thing which I can do with one click on another program.
Then I decided to go into a more complicated life and become a programmer. That requires a lot of patience! But I like it only because I am an analytical thinker and I like to design and code. Coding is fun, it is like solving a jigsaw puzzle. Once it is complete and all together, the result is magnificent!
Then I remembered back in the good old days where I was labeled as a young artist. I used to paint, draw, and make sculptures easily. I had a very artistic creative approach to things, but I was good at math and science, so it made no sense. So I was stuck in the middle and I felt like I can be good at anything if I set my mind to it. Also, I still adore all the art prizes I won over the years growing up. I mean, winning a Polaroid camera when you are 8 years old is amazing! It was a talent that I was happy to have.
So now I want to master being a digital artist. I want to change my direction in life, and learn to use Photoshop. Oh wait, I already did! Took me a day but dammit it, I can use everything in it now! I was like, screw all the beginner tutorials and what each window means and all the options; I am going straight to advanced tutorials.
I just skipped maybe 1st, 2nd, 3rd and almost done 4th year graphics art degree. 
Time to make great art using crappy Adobe Photoshop. Oh I hate you, but your power is unruly!
I found my weekend therapy that brings me back to sanity and reminds me constantly what my job is in life. I am meant to be a digital graphics artist drawing fun characters and cartoons. It is what I do best and enjoy doing with all my heart. So I decided to make a bunch of iRebel Robots. I make them very simple and barely any movements. However, the movements are enough for each song!
Introducing iRebel robot Stumper.
Here is the wallpaper.
Stumper is dancing to the song “Shut up and Drive” by Rihanna. The background object is actually a robot type vehicle! 
If you have any suggestions or any songs you want an iRebel to dance to, then please leave a comment. The song has to be high beat dance song.
I was so bored today and I wanted to do some photoshop advanced tutorials. That didn’t turn out too well, so I went back to Ulead Photoimpact and I decided to make a robot that will shake its head. So I did, and I have a wallpaper too to share.
I made a music video with the iRebel Robot. His name is “Jammer.” He is the first new born!
“The way I are” by Timbaland! I will make many more iRebel Robots that do other cool moves.
I wanted to get into a bit more advertisement for my site and I know that my movie editing and creation skills have been rusty lately since I have not done it in such a long time. So I decided to make this video as a first commercial to my blog. I tried to upload it to youtube, but the encoding sucks. So I decided to check out dailymotion and it is a lot better!
What do you think?
I know it is a bit awkward in the end, but I am working on something better and longer. This is just my first experiment!
