WOW can’t believe I wrote Procrastination correctly first time, any who Yes I have been procrastinating, I’ve been fiddling about with things on the site, I’ve finally added all my old awards, Not really received anything in a while but I have done nothing in a while. I’m slowly getting back into photoshop, I’ve decided to do some tutorials from a really amazing site PSDtuts and if anyone wants to do some tutorials I Highly recomend them, they are so amazing, and they do web tutorials and Illustrator tutorials.

I’m not good at Illustrator which I really wanna get into, I’d love to do logos, in fact I wanna create a Logo theme for all my sites, have kind of like cartoon characters that can be joined and stuff but I really need to get good at illustrator first, I’ve done like the first few pages of tutorials, I was going to put them up here on my gallery, but no one wants to see that kinds of testing stuff. Also at lot of it is easy stuff just to get into photoshop again. and maybe soon I can restart writing some tutorials of my own. If anyone has any tutorials they want writing up… I was thinking about some wordpress ones?? but I think I need to learn some more of that too. there is just so much I wanna do but need to find the passion to get round to doing it again it really saddens me that I don’t have that passion I used to have for doing photoshop and just farting about in photoshop I used to love it… hence the tutorials.

Anyway take a look at my old awards and I’ll soon do the visions awards I’ve done one just waiting for time to put it up. thanks and seeya soon. OH gonna add loads of plugins today too, so be cool new stuff for you to play with.

I know I said I would update more frequently, I’ve just started work on a new site for my mum which will hold me back from updating here, but its using the same system as what I use here so anything i find out for them i can impliment it here, so its a great way of researching elucidation art, although I do already have a long list of things I want to add here anyway. I have also decided to buy a new domain name for my portfolio site, as I already have twilight-fuse.com with my partner in crime Keeper I am going to devise a whole fuse network. but I wont be getting rid of elucidation. I would love to just be able to buy elucidation.com or elucidation.co.uk. but its not that easy.

I’ve also been looking into SEO, (Search engine optimization) I know harldy anything about it. does anyone know any good sites, and good tips about seo I would love to hear them and anything I find out I will share here. although SEO sounds so boring lol not as good as doing fanart, but to get fanart viewed kinda need to know seo. and I do love working on layouts and I didnt realise how much the way you code your site effects how search engines view your site. so be warned if you are like me and know nothing about seo do a search and find out if anything you are doing is preventing you from being searched properly. I’ve found a few things, which is one of the things I’m going to be changing along the way with Elucidation.

so please comment I would love to hear about any tips and tricks you might have. thanks

just a quick note, today I’ve been making icons at the company I work at, in Illustrator no less, I’m really poor at Illustrator but I’m getting better, and I’ve loved making icons I think they look pretty cool but to anyone out there that thinks they would like to do icons, and I hightly recomend you do its well fun and you can be as creative as you like. just remember do them in a square!!! I’ve just done a but load of icons and they are all differnt sizes and they have to fit  a 48×48 square…  probably all reading thing going Duh!!! I just didn’t think so if you wanna do icons make sure you do it in a square canvas. And I’ll try to remember too. lol

ETA: I’d also like to say welcome to my new affiliate AnMarie at Never Say Goodbye go check out her site its got some fantastic art work on there.
