Masks In Photoshop!

Today we learned how to use masks in Photoshop!
Its still really confusing, but, I turned an original photograph of mine and changed the dress colour.

... That amounts to something, right?
Its a step foreward, for sure!!
I think I am the only one who took notes, so if I get stuck Ill be okay. XD

Information Graphic!

Lets see if you can figure out what this is about.



Basically, Im telling you to go to Inter-Dec College for the Video Editing course. Telling you that you need passion and an interest in the field, and then showing you what happens after- or when- you get accepted.

But hooray, Im done!! o.O

Blargh.

Not feeling too well today, its a bit frustrating.
Oh well, haha, I have to deal with it.

For the sixth day of school though, there is a lot of drama going on.

*deep sigh*

Last year of High School, so hopefully all of this drama ends soon. Of course, new stuff will start up again but whatever!!!

Well, hello there!!

Hi again, 'Tis I, the Night Angel!

I have not been updating lately, and for this I am very sorry! Lots of stress at school and home is keeping me from updating my lovely blog. *gently pats it*

Anyway, in class we are creating information graphics, so hopefully that will be posted soon!!

See you all later!

Hug,

How to Make; Assassin's Creed Cosplay

What I did was take a hoodie, and attach/ sew most everything on the assassin robes to that hoodie. I makes it a lot easier to put everything on when it comes to wearing the costume.

Otherwise, for the stomach sash-y thing, you want to take a strip of fabric that goes 2.5 - 3 times around your waist. It looks better that way when you tie it to let the fabric end pieces hang, too. For the shoulder plates and belt I used paper mache to scuplt into shapes I needed. The arm gauntlets I made of fabric, and unfortunatly I never had time to make a hidden blade.

But that will change!!

Otherwise, you can find leather gloves, boots, and black pants that are pre-made, and cheap, too, if you go to a thrift store. Just remember to wash everything really well when you bring it home before you start cutting and sewing!! (UNLESS, the material is silk, suede, or velvet. Then take it to a dry cleaner. NEVER machine wash silk, suede or velvet!!!)




Below is my Costume! About 89 percent of it was home-made. :)
Which I am proud to admit!!

The only things I did not fully make were the base of the assassin-hoodie, base of the assassin pants, and the boots!

Hope you enjoy!! :D

Love, The NA.

Cirque Du Soliel; TOTEM

Guess what I saw today? :D
Cirque Du Soliel's show, TOTEM.

It was stunning, amazing, captivating, mesmerising and I cant find any true words to explain how much I LOVED this experience!!!

On the internet I found a video on the Cirque's Youtube page of an interview with a pair of trapeze artists, who did an act called the 'Lovebirds'. This amoung many other acts was what I was excited for but... When I saw the Lovebirds I fell in love with them!




These two artists- Louis-David Simoneau and his partner, Rosalie- have such beautiful body work, and truely look at home on the bar and with each other. Both man and woman were extreamly talented, and after the show I wanted SO badly to see if I could talk with them! Sadly, I could not.

Honestly, I can not describe the feeling of watching the Lovebirds preform. Can not describe the feeling of watching the Cirque Du Soliel. Other than the underrated word 'Stunning'.

My only complaint about the show?
A t-shirt costs twenty dollars more than the ticket to get inside the Grand Chapitou.

Love,
The Night Angel

Treefrogs!!



That Lizard licked me!



A beautiful jumping act!



The Lovebirds

Well. That's unfortunate.

So, I emailed three different artists for this summer, to keep you all interested in my blog. My messages were VERY polite...

One told me very harshly to 'F' Off and that I was 'F'ing annoying.

The other is ignoring me, but I can see they got my message.

The other seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. >-<

This makes me so very sad!!
They're all very amazing artists... :(

I wont post who told me to 'F' Off, because I refuse to harm their reputation.
However just a reminder to artists, dont be rude to your fans!! Because a lot of people might not be as keep-quiet as me. XD

Hope you're all having a nice summer!!

Hey, guyyyys!!

I have a few special treats for you this Summer!!
I REALLY hope they work out though!

First, I got my hands on another Nikon DSLR, and managed to get a few friends to do a photo shoot with me. *evil laughter*

Secondly, there's an artist on DeviantART and really, this work is STUNNING. The artist works with needles and flesh sewing, and hopefully they agree to an interview. Not. Giving. Away. Their. Username. ;D

Another thing, I'm going to see the Cirque Du Soliel in a few months! I know they probably dont allow photography, but I'll tell you guys all about it :)

Hopefully these things will keep you here during the summer!!

Stay cool,
The Night Angel.

Oh NO!!!

School is almost done, guys!! D:
Honestly.... Not too happy about that XD
If I could just stay in CyberARTS forever, that would be fine. Art EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.
Paint and sketch books and conte and computers.... all of it! *swoon*

I'll be posting all through the summer vacation and even if in the new year I don't have CyberARTS first semester, I'll try and post as much as possible X3

Happy last-day-of-school-before-exams-start!! :D
