I was once a computer science student, before that I was an avid gamer and less nerd. Time passed and everything changed and I started doing programming. I would invest endless amount of time in making everything meticulous. Not only I program for the system, I program for the looks. I used to put meticulous details on how my code looks to a normal eye. I would make them align, format them, even make sure I followed a consistent naming convention and the one which actually made sense.
"Code complete end up in my attention many years later."
I want to make my code visually pleasing, I want my code to be an art. From young age I was always fascinated with a beautiful design and I always want to make amazing designs when I was making interfaces or programming.
But it could never be the same. Look at it, look at it now, what this world has done to me. I who was once a proud programmer is now an artist? Now I am making illustrations. I don't have any art degree or taken any art course. I can't sketch with pencil and paper but can in photoshop. I not even have any friend who has anything to do with painting, sketching, designing, music, acting or in general arts. So how in this would I got an eye to make textures from scratch. I simply don't know. Everything in this would is deeply connected in every expect but we don't see it. Its like Classical mechanics and Quantum mechanics, both don't want to live together but work together in the real would whether we understand, comprehend or believe it or not. Now where all this is going, me becoming an artist from programmer! No :D. Real story starts now.I was making some illustrations few days back, I pick a topic and make the art in photoshop. While I was going through what to make I came across one of my amazing quote so I decided to make an awesome illustration of it so I started working on that. After making the base design I started working on making the texture. In the end the base template was looking good to me but when I added my quote, I doesn't seem right. I don't know but something was off so I decided to scrap it and start over. Then I thought that I made this graphics and was feeling bad just to leave it without using it. After sometime and 2 days an idea hit my mind and I thought why not make wallpapers for friends. Use their names and create something awesome. "I did make everything from scratch from white canvas to above graphics"
