Comedy and Tragedy

Today's submission is~:


Comedy and tragedy by ~starshinesky on deviantART

Comedy and tragedy gone sweet. Haha. I guess the tragic side is only tragic because it is melting. More playing with gradients. AND.... I know I'm a dork but guess what!? I figured out how to add a drop shadow to a group in Illustrator it makes my life!~

This was a drawing that I decided to make into a vector by tracing instead of whatevering each line... It's interesting but it turned out adorably~

That sound's like a personal problem

So I'm having such a vendetta with myself. Lately, I've been mass producing the amount of cuteness that I make, and tooth rotting might I add. Practice Practice Practice, plus I'm on such a cuteness buzz that I want to make all of this! But here's the problem, The more I create the less I actually create. For example: My Deviant art submission from yesterday is tooth rotting, and not received well but my blog header/ personal background is so adorable that everyone enjoys it! What's with that.

I mean this is mostly a rant but still! Anyway I am trying to make daily posts along with submissions so here ya go:

Just as a side note: That's old and got so much positive feedback in like 3 minutes....

Sweet Tooth

This caused a lot more fuss then love. How depressing. I poured out my heart and soul into it and got a lot of nothing! Boo. But I have a pretty awesome concept for a t-shirt design I guess.

I also discovered Audrey Kitching today. I am happy now... My life is complete.

I love you

Lately I have been drawing a lot and I created this:


I love you by ~starshinesky on deviantART

I like the idea of drawing these and I also enjoy how they look colored in so I think I am going to experiment a bit >.< I hate this, oh well. P.s. I need ideas.

Pink Bow!

This is another vector I made ahead of time! I am so discombobulated lately it's not even funny. I need to sort a few things out as far as school work goes. It's kinda hard to do work and make these vector things! Well that's okay I need to learn how to work on a time limit and whatnot!

A few bits of info on this piece. This one was on a drawing I did a while ago. It's very simple. I also think it would look very nice accompanied with someone's name and if someone would like me to stamp their name in some cute flourish thing next to it just ask! I am very much willing to do that since this one is really scrappy.

Cloud Scene

Last Night was Halloween and being trapped up in a house that wasn't even mine, handing out candy led to a lot of downtime. Of course, I wasn't on campus so I really couldn't do any of my homework so Instead I made 2 new Vectors. One for Today one for tomorrow! Hurrah. This is my new way of creating vectors. I don't know what anyone thinks about it but I would love some feedback. Not that anyone is watching me... hahah.

Happy Halloween

So this newest of my deviants had me curling into a ball and dieing all night last night. Not really but it was the most complex yet. I tried something new. Instead of outlining the objects and adding a stroke to give it an outline, I outlined the outline and gave it a fill to create an outline. It worked so much better. I think, visually this is the best one in a very long time. I am going to use this same idea for tomorrow's vector because it is the same kind of idea... I think I need to think on my feet more often. I am kinda upset with myself for not thinking of this earlier. In all honesty this is similar to how last night's was supposed to turn out but didn't! So, let's make ideas then. Onto the Submission!:


Halloween '09 by ~starshinesky on deviantART

I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

Happy Mischief Night!

So this is the vector I made for mischief night. I really need to work on my style a bit more. I mean I like the overall composition and flow I guess I just think it looks unfinished. I guess practice makes perfect. I am going to start putting up most of my designs. I used to only want to put up the ones that actually look good, well now I really don't mind as much... I need to work on them more and figure out some sort of style and go with it. I mean, critiquing myself, I think that it really flows well it just looks so off. Hmmm...

Octopus's Garden

Day 2:
So this deviation was rather simple! I had the drawing ahead of time and I converted it into a very cute and simple vector. Lately I've been playing with the idea of a one color stroke and not multiple colors for each object. I think it is giving it a very nice effect! I hope you like this one! I definitely think it is one of the cuter ones that I have made!

Kick off!

The Quota Challenge!

I am a Graphic Design Major in College, and well I've been wanting to start this blog for a while but I haven't. So here it is! This is going to be a random collaboration of a lot of things. Graphic design, crafts, baking, and so much more. But! As a Kick off to joining I want to take my idea and put it on here. Just to get me a bit active before the calm.

Day 1:
To substitute for my lack of inspiration I am instead going to force inspiration. Like a real Graphic Designer would. So Here's my Quota. One Deviant Art Submission everyday for a Week. I'll start today as Day 1 and That means I have to submit one thing to Deviant Art until the 4th. Which can push me to Finish all unfinished works and so much more! It is also very good for practice!
