About Me

YOUTH IS NO GUARANTEE OF INNOVATION.

^{My name is Bliss (although I do go by Kaz, as well), and I'm a third year in a college in Singapore (that makes me twenty-one, as of current moment). I'm studying Art, Design & Media, and sub-majoring in Interactive Media, although I do take other courses pertaining to other branches of design as well (mostly Visual Communications, because I really can't do animation or film or product design, those things just go over my head).

I'm pretty much a varied artist; I dabble traditionally (watercolors FTW), and digitally (composites, and I'm working on my vectors, I'm trying, I'm trying!). I started out a couple of years before I decided I wanted to major in design (which would make that five years back) tinkering around in Photoshop.

I have anatomy issues.
Don't ask me to draw too much, please. D:

I'm a huge fandom obsessor, and my heart is currently broken by Merlin Being Human. The BBC is cruel.

Other than that, I'm also actively keeping up in the Skyfall, Marvel, Teen Wolf, LOTR, White Collar, Inception, Sherlock, H50, and House fandoms (just to name some).

I listen to a great majority of music, so I can't name a single genre that I'd like the most. Although, I will recommend a few artists/bands - Hurts, Symphony Soldier, Florence + The Machines, RyanDan, Kamelot, Within Temptation, Lana del Rey.

And then, just for fun, a song of the week -
Lullaby - Polina Gagarina

So yes.
Come talk to me.
I need people to talk to. Please?

Internship!

Journal Entry: Sat May 18, 2013, 11:19 AM

I've just completed a week of my internship, and I'm enjoying it, so far.

I'll mostly (if not totally) be doing web coding (just for the frontend) and some web designing. I've already spent one morning mentally banging my head on my desk because the code didn't work due to my mis-linking of the Javascript file, but at least now I'll know to check the links properly. xD

And hey.
Now that I'm kept busy the whole day, I don't fall asleep all the time.

Although, the morning traffic in the train is insane.

Critiquing

Critiquing
I'll critique your pieces for you.

Just something extra that might interest you!

^{So, I have a premium account, and I would like to use it to the maximum and help some people while I'm at it.

I know there are people out there who post up works for critiques, but I'm only comfortable with critiquing works in the Photomanipulations and Design and Interfaces categories, seeing as that is what I work with the most and am therefore better suited to offer comments on. Unfortunately, there's no search engine (as far as I can tell) in the Critiqueable area.

So here's the thing.

If you have a Photomanipulation or Design and Interfaces work that you'd like me to critique (if you think you'd like my opinion), send me a link to your work, and I'll try to get to it when I have the time.

I hope to help more people with this, and share what I know.

Cheers, people, hope I can help you. (: If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.}
