Ages...

th_me — Sun, 20 May 2007 17:59:51 GMT

Yeah, ages sisnce i didn;t write anything. Stupid me!! To hell with school i hate it!! Too many things to do, too many tests, exams...bleah. The only good things that make me pass this period are the following: The festival and the school trip in Spain.

And yeaaah i'm finally getting out of the country. Going to Spain (passing through Austia, Swizerland, Italy and the South of France). It's a school trip. My former teacher is going, along with other 4 teachers. Almost 44 people. My best friends are going too which makes it even better. But i still have my maths exam till then........

And i just found out that the Pussycat Dolls are coming here on the 22th of june and i won't be here. So i'm going to miss 3 concerts: PCD, The Rasmus and Pink. GOOOOD! Why do they have to come in June?? Can't they change it?? Damn.

And i gotta go now. Will post again...after my maths exam when i can shout out loud that i'm finally done.

Stress is the main cause for suicide

th_me — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 08:58:09 GMT

The time to leave for school is getting closer but still have time to post an entry cause i haven't done that in a while (maybe there's someone around to miss me...).

Been really stressed lately. Mainly because i have the chance of leaving on a really cool trip in Austria and i have almost no one to go with me and because i HAD the chance of going 2 weeks in germany but my parents won't let me cause of something they don't like there. A second reason to be stressed is because i may not go on holidays this summer and my only chance is one of these trips... A third reason is that my computer is dead, which is the top line to everything that happened lately so i can say march wasn't a good month at all for me. maybe things will work out better in april, cause it's my birthday and Easter and all that and now that my grandma is ok after her surgery, maybe dad will think clearer about all these trips outside the country (and maybe i'll find someone kind enough to go with me...friend meaning, cause it's students camp).

Still hate the weather. It keeps being sunny for 5 minutes and then the clouds appear and take away all my joy (when i'm in the mood to be joyful of course).

Began extra classes for german which i call suicide, but i did it with my own hands so i better stop complaining about it right? I mean, curious, but i really like german these days(i still think i'm crazy, mainly because i wanna try and take that german certificate Zertifikat deutsch - ZD...which scares me).

Did i write enough? I think i never wrote so much in my entire life...really! Mainly (ok, yes, i have a problem with this word today...it shall be replaced by another one tomorrow...i hope :)) ) because i have nothing important to say...

It's 11:49 am right now...think i should go get ready for school. Byes!!

New tut!

th_me — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 18:56:01 GMT

Well because someone (you know who you are) kept bugging me to make a new tutorial here it is. Hope you like it. I personally adore how the icon looks like. Have fun!

I went from this to this

STEP 1: Get your base, crop it 100X100 (mine was already croped, thanks to dont_be_so_base). Duplicate de base layer and set it to screen 100%.

STEP 2: Duplicate your base layer again, bring it to the top and set it to soft light 100%.

STEP 3: Creat a new layer, fill it with #ECBEDE and set it to color burn 100%.

STEP 4: Creat a new layer, fill it with #031c50 and set it to exclusion 30%.

STEP 5:Creat a new layer, fill it with #6da6c1 and set it to overlay 90%.

STEP 6: Go to layer>new adjustment layer>hue/saturation. I used these settings:
Master: Hue +14
Sturation +10
Reds: Hue +18
Saturation +49
Greens: Hue +15

STEP 7: Go to layer>new adjustment layer>selective color. I used these settings:
Reds: Cyan -100
Yellow +100
Greens: Cyan -100
Yellow +100
Cyans: Cyan +13
Magneta +19
Yellow -28
Blues: Cyan +100
Yellow +49
Neutrals: Cyan -25
Magneta +8
Yellow +2

STEP 8: Creat a new layer, fill it with #03173f and set it to exclusion 30%.

STEP 9:Creat a new shape layer, using the rounded rectangular tool, using this color (this is what i used you can use whatever works best ;) ) #6da6c1 and set the opacity to 50%.

STEP 10: I used this font and color #575ca0 and set it to color burn 100%.

And thats all! Hope you find it useful.Other stuff i did with it(i had to change the screen layers opacity):

Another...hole in the head.

Don't ask, have no idea where the title came from (i think it's from Nickelback's song lol). After a new day at school i thought i should post a new tutorial cause i think this one is better than the other one (which was my first one). Here it goes...again.

i went from this to this

Step 1: Get your image, resize it to 100X100, duplicate it and set it to screen 80%.

STEP 2: Duplicate the base again, bring it to the top and set it to soft light 100%

STEP 3:Create a new layer, fill it with #0b0136 and set it to exclusion 80%.

STEP 4:Creat another new layer and this time fill it with #f6b3d4 and set it to overlay 30%

STEP 5:Duplicate your base image (the one u started from, bring it to the top and set the layer to soft light 60% and the saturation (CTR+U) at +60.

STEP 6:Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Color Balance and i used these values:
Shadows: -100, +16, 0
Midtones:-27, -16, +30

STEP 7:Duplicate your base image again, bring it to the top,set it to screen 40%, desaturate it (SHIFT+CTRL+U), go to Filter>Blur>Gaussin Blur and set it to 1.5

STEP 8:Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Selective color. I used this values:
Reds: -100, 0, +100, 0
Cyans:-100, -73, -16, +26
Blues:0, +100, -100, 0
Neutrals:+21, -16, +19, 0

STEP 9:Make a new layer, fill it again with #0b0136 and set it to exclusion 30%.

STEP 10:I used this texture:

and set it to screen 70%.

STEP 11: (optional) I used this texture:

and set it to screen 90%. I erased the parts that were covering the feet cause i don't think they looked ok.

STEP 12: I used this text brush:

and this is the result:

Hope it wasn't boring, too big or something. The steps with the textures are optional, i just liked how they worked out ^_^

Again i must say the textures and the text brush were NOT made by me but i have them for a long time and i dunno who to credit. I suppose that as long as i don't say they're mine there's no prob.

See ya

my first ever tutorial!!

th_me — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 19:08:11 GMT

waaw must be proud of myself right? not really. it could be better but here it goes:

i went from this to this

STEP 1: Get your image, resize it to 100X100, duplicate it twice and set both of them to Soft light 100 %

STEP 2: Creat a new layer, fill it with #06063b and set it to exclusion 100 %

STEP 3: Creat a new layer, fill it with #eeaac0 and set it to color burn 100%

STEP 4: I used this texture:
(it's not made by me, if i knew where i got it from i would tell ya :( )
and set it to screen 100 %

STEP 5: I used this texture:

and set it to screen 100% (again, if i knew who to credit i would cause this texture was NOT made by me)

STEP 6: I used this text brush:

(again, NOT made by me)

and voila

Hope you guys find it useful, it's an easy tutorial, it doesn't have so manu steps and it doesn't involve selective color :D

MIRACLE!!!

th_me — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 18:50:16 GMT

I'm writing!! It's a miracle ain't i right?It's not like there is someone out there that reads my diary (i think i can try japanese but i know someone who's learning that so i can't...can't write in german cause i don't know much and some may read...french i don't know...spanish either...mnaybe romanian but still...DAMN!!)

What i'we been doing lately...school...school...tests...exams...did i mention school? Probably...YES!!:))

Actualy, this vacantion i'we improved my icon-making skills which i like. I made some reaaaally cool icons, added them here on LJ...will be changing like socks, don't worry fellow crappy-icon lovers (just joking).

I feel like i forgot how to write...(maybe because since this morning i'we been listening to a german song refrain...wonder why?!:)) )

I'we been taking some pics of the ONLY snow i'll ever see this year around these places. let me post the pics maybe there's someone out there that wants to see some snow too...:))

Yeah, that the Circus, i live right next to it (figure of speach...at 5 mins away :)) )

Ok after you enjoyed the snow, i will say that there is no more snow now, it's perfectly HOT and that snow drops are already out :| In the bloody middle of bloody january!!! Fuck winter!! (even tho there is NO winter!!! Fuck the weather!!!!!)

Ok thats all for today! Oh, one more thing. Starting tomorrow, just 3 moths left till my 17th birthday!!

Bored...annoyed...bored...want more?

th_me — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 07:48:51 GMT

Damn this life!! I hate everyone and everything these days!! Some idiot is ronavating his apartament and it's so much noise that i can't do anything. I can hardly hear mom speaking even if she is in front of me. DAMN!!! And the apartamnet is the one under mine!! :| WORSE!! Argh!!

Besides all this...going to post a link to a really really cool song you guys may know it but i'm still posting it :P:P

Reamonn-Tonight

So as i was again (as always whatever) bored these days and did NO homework for this week (that is, my maths home work: 11 execises...right...still have time till wednesday ain't i right?! :D ) i took a picture of my McDonald's bear who's name is Tommy bear. Here he is:

The name came to me after i read a fan fic about (D'OH) Tokio Hotel which i can't post unfortunately because it's in romanian and not many people will understand. In this fic Tom had a teddy bear which he called Tommy bear and i thought it's a really good name for my own teddy bear.

This is kinda all for today...will post again...soon...i hope...if i don't die because i killed the workers from that bloody apartament...
