I have an idea in mind for a really big "just-for-kicks" flash project after I finish coding my portfolio site. I won't reveal too much about it right now, but I'm still in the planning/pre-design stages right now... still wondering if I can even pull it off as more than just a mere "attempt".

I may even end up needing the assistance of some experienced ActionScript 2.0 developers. If there are any out there or you know someone who is fluent in the language, let me know.

Busy busy busy as I start preparing for my final exams as well as completing all of my projects... the summer is nearing and I am planning what I need to do with the time. Client work will be minimal as I need to budget most of my time toward the design and development of my new official portfolio site. I want this site to be the absolute cutting edge and nothing less. It will be featuring extensive flash and actionscript as well as futuristic elements. Along with that, some more future art/photo-manipulations and perhaps a new brush set! ...So stay tuned!

Lastly, I'd like to thank as well as for the recent DD feature on my "AdvancedUI: Status Screen" submission. Thanks you guys!

Fooling around with some futuristic stuff right now. Lookin' good so far.
Tech brush fans will get a kick out of this one when I finish.

Check this out, ~neodesktop completely ripped my 'horizon' piece, did some minor photoshop touch ups, and submitted it as if it was entirely his own creation:

MY ORIGINAL piece:

I found the rip through a picture on a youtube video. It's a shame that the RIPPED version has gotten the attention that it has: 100,000+ downloads... with probably not a single person knowing who the true original creator is. I've already reported this, so it might be taken down by the time you read this journal entry.

I think he should be banned for ripping off other peoples' works. Absolutely pathetic.

-------------------------------------------------

EDIT #1: The rip has been taken down! To see the rip outside of deviantart, simply key in 'aurora river' or 'neodesktop' on google images!

EDIT #2: Here's his desktop screenshot using the unauthorized altered version of my work: [link]

Not only that, look how he CLAIMS IT AS HIS OWN!!!
"Aurora River Wallpaper by me., Inside my gallery. " LOL


REPORTED.

Hey everyone, I revised the XeonGradient site: [link] Check it out and let me know your thoughts on it.

Also, check out my newest design, Towncar 2009: [link] let me know what you think of this one as well!

Been pretty busy, but still pushing some art out. I still want to get some more tech packs released this summer when I have more free time.
