MANY TYPES OF SKINS

2011-04-08T03:24:00.000-07:00

Hey people! I have been having the skins/layout making bug lately so I have a few to introduce to you guys! The thing is ... they are not blogger layouts ... they are PHP and Wordpress. YUP! I finally figured out how to use Wordpress and I finally came out with a PHP layout too! They are not too crazy. Just nice and simple but it's a start. The downloads are found on my main site. Just press "DOWNLOAD" to take you there.

Lilies

2010-05-05T10:09:00.000-07:00

I was playing around with my point&shoot the other day and decided to take some shots in and around the home. My boyfriend bought me some flowers the other day too and I wanted to take a couple of pictures of it because the bouquet included my favourite flowers, the lilies.

This is my favourite the calla lily!

Another favourite, the tiger lily.

More photos to come!
I am working on some icons too with music lyrics. They're going pretty good so far so hopefully I can get some up soon before school next week because when school starts I don't know how much time I'll have to be able to do some of my artsy things.

This was something that I had been working on for a very long time because the details just took a very long time and I would run out of ink for each pen I used. Finally managed to get it scaned and posted so here it is!! I was considering getting this printed hanging it up on my wall but I still haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

I am actually quite proud of this one because I consider this my very first legitimate digital piece of work I have done. Everything was purely done with my photoshop and my wacom tablet except for the outline of the girl. She, I drew and just re-outlined it on PS. I worked really hard and long on the detailing of the hair and skin and all that and I am really happy at how it turned out!

SKIN - Red&Black Scribbles

2010-04-29T14:30:00.000-07:00

This was one of my old layouts for my personal blog! I actually kept this layout for a really really long time because I am a big fan of the black and red and finally decided to just give it as a free blog skin.

Updated

2010-04-29T00:07:00.000-07:00

Well well. I finally got myself a new layout for the art blog! I'm really liking it. It's something different for me and I really really like it. I think I'm going to stick with this one for quite a while. I like this layout so much that I'm thinking of making some skins with the same type of layout.

Anyways ... I will update when I can. I bring my little camera everywhere with me now so hopefully I can post some more pictures up. I'm going to try and find some time to make more skins so be on the watch-out for that too!!

This photo was taken some time ago at the cool Western/Japanese Sushi Fusion restaurant in Vancouver called "The Eatery". Very good stuff!!

Went over to the BEAUTIFUL Nitobe Gardens at UBC over the weekend and here are a few shots that I took that were worthy.

Minoru Park Photos

2009-03-15T21:44:00.000-07:00

I managed to get some photography in during the week. I took quite a few but there were only a selected few that I really liked and here they are! Just a note ... I made some prints for them at DeviantArt. If you are interested in any of my photos, you are welcome to buy a couple of prints! Nothing better than feeling like I'm progressing with my photography!

Some of these photos are from my FLICKR too.

Photography

2009-02-25T22:57:00.001-08:00

I have added another form of art to my little blogger portfolio over here at SharBar Art ... PHOTOGRAPHY!

I used to do photography a long time ago and stopped it for a long time because it just got too expensive and I couldn't really afford a nice DSLR camera or anything like that.

Now all that has changed. My boyfriend got me a Nikon D70 for Valentine's Day and I'm back in full action. It's been taking up a lot of my time but no worried, I'm still drawing and trying to create more digital graphics here and there.

Photography has just taken a hold of me lately because the concept of photography is just absolutely amazing to me and my boyfriend is a photographer as well and we are both happy to have something that we can do together as a couple and have that type of bonding that we share.

Here are a few samples of some of my work so far and the rest if you want to see more can be seen on FLICKR ACCOUNT.

Flowery Existence Skin

New Skin @ CB

2009-01-13T08:28:00.000-08:00

I have finally made a BRAND NEW skin! None of this taking old old ones and tweaking it. It's brand spanking new!

I honestly could have made a better one but you know what? After being on a long hiatus on making skins ... I am a little rusty. No worries ... I'll be making more. I might be making another one tomorrow.

Lineart Drawings

2008-12-02T23:02:00.000-08:00

Well helloo!!

It's been a while and it's because I've slowly been into drawing again. I keep jumping around between traditional drawing, digital drawing, graphics an etc. Can't decide! Regardless, I have a couple of drawings to finally post up. They're a couple of months old but I feel they're at least ready to be posted.

ONE WITH NATURE

I drew this completely out of boredom. I wanted to draw something funky and different and not so structured and here's what I came up with. I don't know how the whole nature thing came into it but it turned out okay. I wanted to color it but I didn't want to ruin the lineart so I'm going to see if I can copy it and just do a separate color copy with I don't know what yet ... color pencils ... markers ... who knows! Sorry for the watermark ... didn't want anybody stealing it when I posted it on DA

ANGEL IN DESPAIR

Another lineart during my phase with angels and wings. This was fun and challenging at the same time because I hated drawing profiles and was having issues on getting those folds on the clothes right and all that. This was kinda like a technical practice drawing if you will except it turned out okay and better than I expected!! I might CG color this sometime in the future after I get more practice with my tablet.

Bleach Icons - Renji x15

[15x] Renji Abarai Icons

RULES
Please Credit SharBar Art when in use.

I made Renji icons a long time ago when I had my graphics site over at Livejournal. I'm contemplating whether to still use livejournal. I'm thinking I'll just use it to post up icoms since posting all of them on here (I can make a LOT at one time) would just be overwhelming and too much so I'll put teasers up here and link it back to LJ so that people can still use them.

I haven't made anything new lately in terms of graphics though so just putting up links of the stuff I did before is going to have to do. Hope you like these though! I did these in dedication to my boyfriend because he's a big Renji fan!

New Layout!

2008-10-06T22:45:00.000-07:00

I have finally made a new layout! It's not that great but it'll do. I was still getting used to my new laptop so I did the best that I could with it. Plus, I did want it on the more simpler side so hope it looks good!

I will try to post up more stuff soon. I just haven't had any time to just really sit down and make stuff. I'm still in the proces of just setting everything up on my photoshop since I moving a lot of my things to my laptop. No worries, more will come!

A New Beginning

2008-04-30T06:37:00.000-07:00

I keep jumping around to find the best place to do an art blog. I was on LJ but I feel really limited on what I can do on my layout and such. Plus LJ is a freakin' pain in the ass when it comes to dealing with the codes of the layout. REAL pain in the ass so I'll move on here to blogspot ... yet again ...

So I'll be posting up my works of "art" whether they are worthy or not. It'll be drawings, digital designs, photography, some downloadables, random sketches ... whatever I feel like posting up. I'm thinking it won't just be art since this is after all a "blog" too ... I'll most likey be blogging about random life stuff too hehe.

I still have to work on a layout for this site. Can't have it so plain and drab. If it is mostly going to be an art site then it has to look better! Don't know when the changes are going to be yet since I'm always pretty busy and I don't spend as much time at home as I want to but it'll happen sometime. I'll try to find sometime to work on a little something.
