Photos and Portraits and Skittles


Okay so uh

Enslaving Beckman and Siefred for pictures leads to this! And of course Beckman transformed into an explosion of colours and fabulousness. Siefred on the other hand just had to be all smug face black and white like. Text was added to add to it!

My inspiration for this is well.. Next to nonexistent. I took a picture of Siefred cause I was all "hey Jimmy smug face with hand on chin GO" and then Beckman just happened to be passing by so I grabbed a (really random) picture of him. Haha. I like the black and white picture more of the pair because I felt the composition worked out more. The colour picture would've turned out better had I used CS3 and my tablet at home since Photoshop 5 (I think that's the version of PS these computers have) is really limited and it doesn't help the PCs are really slow and tend to freeze up. Seriously why haven't these been replaced yet?

So yeah that's about it. I think I did better this time round then with the last project, simply because I didn't have to manipulate photos of landscapes. Haha.

Photo manipulation project... Thing

God.





About time I got around to doing it, as rushed as it is.
Reflection and all will be done in a few, need to zergrush a page for comm tech AND my religion reflection, fml.

Look at all the purple!

EDIT:

 Reflection time go

The picture's name is Purple Rhapsody. Purple for it of course being made up of purples/violets, rhapsody, as taken from the dictionary, is "an ecstatic expression of feeling or enthusiasm."

I only used three images for this, one being the waterfall as well as the accompanying scenery, the moon and lastly the earth. I wanted to create something like a foreign land, a fantasy almost. A place where you could look up and go "oh hey there's our neighbours". Of course I didn't have the patience to do something super special awesome, but something is better then nothing. Colour balance was my best friend in this as well as my cloud brushes... But besides that I am rather disappointed in this. Not only because I suck at image manipulation, but since we got it for our first assignment.


Messing around with actual pictures of people is way easier man.

I finally hauled my lazy ass out of my uncreative rut and started cging again (thus why I decided to pick up fffin 100 themes).

The WIP sketch:

and the finished CG:
Shiny with a transparent bg!

This here actually lead me striking a commission deal with the owner of a particular MMORPG site. As much hype as it earned me and all I need to finish ffffin event prizes at said site too and then I'll get right on that shit. One hundred themes will be more of a side thing so yeah.

This blog is required for my media arts class but hey, I always wanted to make a blog for lolart stuff. MIGHT AS WELL USE IT!

... Now time to figure out how2customize.

First post awyeuh

1. Are you excited about this course and why?
Not really, its just grade 12 art take 2 with crappy PCs and with more annoying installations.

2. Do you agree to uphold the Studio Rules that were distributed?
Sure why not.
