Get Your Shine On! - KOI89'S Greatest Hits.

If you guys have seen music videos such as Nickelback's Far Away, Michelle Branch's Breathe or even Green Day's Boulevard of BrokenDreams, then you'd probably famliarize yourself with the whole light render thing that goin' on in this piece of art. Ok, if you still aren't getting the picture, think rock concerts and the huge lights hovering the whole room. Still not getting the hint? Ok, imagine a room with disco lights in it, only this time, it's a lounge and not some crappy bar, it's sleek and stylish and it's technically a party.
the room is technically breaking apart revealing my old wallpapers as the wall slowly and gradually collapses. In the end, rays of light seeps through it.

Hope with that enough clues, you're actually getting what this wallpaper is all about. lol. Not that it has much but, whatever.

I originally had no direction as to what I wanted to do with this wallpaper. All I know is, I liked the scan and it reminded me of Mariah Carrey doing her famous hand gestures in most of her music videos. I was also thinking "party" when I saw this scan. the first idea I had in mind was to go for the whole beach theme but heck, it's to "trendy" and well, I want my wallpapers to deviate from the norm. I decided to re-cg some parts of the scan, adding a bit here and subtracting a bit there. Why? Simply because I don't want this wallpaper to be too revealing. I wanted it to be sensual and not trashy. Still decent for that matter. I also had to recolor parts of it and retrace some fine lines which I originally had a hard time extracting. And so I ended up with this.

the wallpaper is all about liberating yourself. Being able to party at your own right. Afterall, we're teenagers and we should party! xD however, at the sametime, let's not push it. the problem with most parties I'm ever invited into is the whole liquor aspect of it. Why can't we just have good clean fun. Beers and such are not necessary for a party. the make you sick. And the thing about this wallpaper is that I wanted it to convey fun without the unnecessary vices. I want to encourage people to breakout from soceity and media's trends and misadvices and go for what would actually benefit them more. Especially in the long run.
Let's just say that this wallpaper is still Christian-based. I just wanted it to be different from average Christian walls. :)

Speaking of liberation, I wanted to express in this wallpaper that everyone has a voice. A stand, an own opinion and no one can take that away from you. People around you would always be talking behind your back, they tend to be judgemental despite the fact that they don't even know you. the thing is, everyone talks about everyone and we cannot stop that.. ugh, bickering highschool drama >< HOWEVER, we have the choice of whether we are affected by it or not. Much like how I want to express in this wallpaper, break free from that and just let the light come in. Because in the end, it is your prerogative. Don't let other people push you down.
Life's a party. Live it.

Aside from series of wallpapers I had made in the past, this piece also features lyrics from My Prerogative originally sung by a band which is later renditioned by Ms. Spears. As for the title of the wallpaper, I kinda got inspired from one of Jesse McCartney's songs.

Just trying to make something new from something that is old. A "recycled" wall. lol.

~~~
Doin', what you're doin' up against the wall
You know you wanna dance or you wouldn't be here at all
Everybody's got it goin' on and on and on...
It's on tonight, yeah!
Show a little...
You know i like it when you...
Everybody wanna...

Everybody here is feelin' the vibe
Eyes glued, hands up
'Cause you're doin' it right
Everybody get the chance to shine
Baby come on,
Don't be shy now

Show a little...
You know I like it when you...
Everybody wanna...

try looking at this wallpaper while listening to some upbeat pop music or to some latin song.
Let it move you and feel the groove. xD
