About Me

About my walls: I make them for myself and I set high standards for my work. XD
My walls must have color, depth, and composition such that I won't get bored looking at them after a while. Therefore I am a relatively slow waller (and perfectionist!) I like to use vectoring and tablet painting together. One of my favorite techniques is using vector masks to give clean edges while painting. See my vector tut for more details. :)

Stuff about me: I've had private art instruction since I was 11, and normal after school art classes before then. This was in traditional art though, and taught by professional artist Dante Rondo. I never took public school art courses. I've had my stuff shown in a restaurant and at a local art gallery in my hometown (at age 15). I attended CSSSA in 2004. In highschool I taught myself how to use photoshop since it was required at an internship I did that makes army training games. I learned a bit of 3Ds Max there too. Whee!
Currently I'm a college student at the University of California San Diego, a Biology Major, and an ICAM (Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts) Minor.

Other misc stuff:
Yes, that's me in my avatar! It all started with a joke my friends made...they said I resemble the Mona Lisa and Trinity from the Matrix, so I first Photoshopped a pic of my head on the Mona Lisa's body (with shocking revelations O_O) and then I posed with some shades on for the heck of it. Later I Photoshopped a signature of me in my "Trinity" pose with added Matrix background effects and colors...and there you have it. It shocked my friends out hahaha. The avatar is a cropped portion of that signature. The Mona Lisa (or Mona Nysha) pic can be found here: http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l58/Nysha88/monalisajillcopy.jpg And the original "Trinsha" signature here: http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l58/Nysha88/jillmatrix3.png

Then how about a "Ultimate Painting Guide"? So you could explain the basics of painting like which tools you use and the settings etc...
This would be a reasonable topic, don't you think so?

Hi,
just wanted to thank you for voting for me in the vectadesu contest#2.
I'm really glad that even an amazing waller like you likes my vector.
Btw, I really love your tutorials (especially your vectoring guide). Will you make more tutorials?

There are some more good dark ones there, it just takes a while to look through them.

i have midterms too. x__x i should be happy that mine are all spread out 'cause i can focus on one at a time. but then again, that means i don't get breaks. and my midterms practically lead into my finals.

updated wip pic. :3 it looks pwnage. could you link me the scan? a little thing though: the lily pads remind me of donuts, kinda, in terms of the contour that the large contrast shading suggests. when going detailed, what's sometimes hard to do are flat things because you just can't shade them as much without changing their shapes. and lily pads are mostly flat so careful ;]

Hello, Nysha

This wall really shows how good you are with vector art. I saw your guide in vector imaging and I'd like to learn more. Your guide was simple but straight to the point. I would really want to learn more of this technique. If you can point to me where to go, I'll check it out and practice. So far, I'm trying to apply what your guide teaches in my next wall.

Thanks so much for your comments in my first wall, and I hope that I can make walls to match your standards as time goes by.
