-nightlife- an artwork gallery
tonight, you are not going to do what you planned to do. tonight, you are going to go outside. tilt your head and look up. look at the black sky. look at the stars, those tiny dots that flicker and twinkle. realize that millions and trillions of light years away, those stars are raging balls of fury, spinning and glowing bright. tonight, you are going to realize that you are as small as a speck of nothing at all. you are stardust.
 
welcome to the universe.
yOU ARE starstuff.

about Me
 
 
Yo this is Ayu. I'm a 20 year old university student from another star system. I started designing in Jan 2013. I was a rookie, I still am a rookie and probably will always stay a rookie because I design for fun and don't take it seriously. I have a huge obsession with stars, the cosmos and everything unknown in the vast universe. I love cheese, potatoes and noodles. I hoard soundtracks, love instrumentals and thrive on celtic music.  I love the color green, hate the polluted city and love nature and animals. My biggest wish is to go to Lapland, Finland someday and watch the Northern lights. This is my portfolio on AFF. Thank you for coming!

Oh, I watch Anime.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Experience
 
 
Well, I started out with that was absolutely, ty. It was with GIMP that I began this hobby. GIMP is a very good tool to start out and once you've caught on with it, Photoshop is a piece of cake. That said, my experience is of 3 years. On and off with exams, I've largely lost touch with the new trends on AFF. But I don't follow trends. It's not because I don't like them, but mostly because I at them XD That said, I think I quite like my style of doing designs and making them with my own ideas gives me happiness ^^  I like creating stuff that gives off this other worldy feeling and have this unhealthy habit of throwing the stars and galaxies into literally 90% of the stuff I make. Sometimes I think my stuff looks too similar - everything has the night sky in it. But oh well, it makes me happy - it'll do ^^b!
Portfolio
My main portfolio where I host the designs is on tumblr. Link's below.

Resources I use
Um, well since long back, I have had the habit of saving anything that I like, which I see online. So around 60% of the things I use come off google images AHAHAHA.
Since beginning to design however, I use resources from deviantart, tumblr and some other sites that are so random I can't remember.
Inspiration
When it comes to art and design, I first and formost, admire to death, Kagaya. Kagaya creates these BEAUTIFUL digital art paintings whose beauty I can't even begin to explain.
Second, artists on pixiv and deviantart who DRAW images right from scratch. Having the kind of imagination and creativity and skill to create stunning pictures like this very background here, requires serious talent. I respect them highly. One of my favorite artists on pixiv would be Tsujiki.

Music, well I sometimes get inspiration from what I listen to. Adrian von Zeigler, Wisp X, HDsounDI on youtube who promotes instrumental music is another. The list goes on, honestly.
 
Other links
Because um, people usually put them here? I dunno xD

INSTAGRAM - @yozorahoshi - for the photography I take.

WHERE I RESIDE - Google+ - because FB is too mainstream and well I had to get out of it. If anyone wants to become friends, just hit me up on Hangouts :D!

I think that's it #,# Short eh?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FAVOURITES
 
 
OIt's slightly embarassing to have a space like this, but these are some designs that I created, which have emotions behind them and are really close to the heart. Out of all the things I've made, there are some that I really, absolutely love for various reasons.

Sakura // Sunset Nostalgia // Make a Wish // Don't Push me Away // Beyond the Stars // Koizora // Solaris // Human // Breeze! // The Junkyard Robot // Memories of a Distant World

Chapter 6: The one on the left actually reminds me of a scene in Studio Ghibli's "From Up On Poppy Hill" when the boy gave the girl a ride on his bike down this long road that ran along down a steep hill.

Chapter 6: Your style is amazing :)
I don't usually follow that many graphic portfolios but I really like your style!

I really like this one by the way, I wish I was the one walking down that road/path in the one on the left haha.
You made a great choice on keeping it natural, without a PSD.

Chapter 21: even just for fun you really have your own touch into your graphics. Like if i see them i can think "ah that's yozora's work"

Chapter 22: i never thought about character poster before… maybe cause id didn't know about it but now that I see yours I think it's an amazing thing and more suitable for one shot and oneself stories.
Your work is amazing there. The blurry background and the png are just perfectly blended together just like a real pic **
good job !!

Chapter 21: OMG, I've been wondering where you've been! Colorfulsky here, not sure if you remember me, but I remember you. I still love your graphics <3 There's always something magical about your work. It's . . . compelling. I'm glad to see you designing again when you feel like it (:
