Sphere -REVISED (Shadow)

Here is my completed sphere along with its shadow.

Poster with Smoke-FINISHED

In this picture i was working with smoke again. This poster I made is meant to look like the Coldplay/Apple poster. I think it turned out really well, I had to use a lot of familiar tools and it was nice to get more practice with them.

Skull-Smoke-FINISHED

Here is my completed skull made out of smoke. It took some time to get the smoke to blend correctly but overall I like the look of this, I applied multiple duplicates of several types of smoke in order to get it to cover the skull. Once I did that I used the burn and dodge tools in order to make certain parts stand out in the smoke and tone down other areas. Then to finish it all off I used a gradient map in order to get a green to yellowish color on the skull and it's surrounding area.

Painted Sphere- FINAL

Well after a long and hard battle with this sphere I have gotten to a point where I am pleased with it. Even though it is not an exact copy of the sphere in the reference photo, it does look like a sphere. I do plan to go back and add in a shadow, hopefully that will look like the one we are copying. However, on the whole I am happy with the sphere I have made.

Abstracts- Finished

These are 3 abstract designs I made using various tools in Photoshop. For the first one I had to use lens flares and blurs along with creating new patterns to get that boxy look in the background. I also had to cut out the Boba Fett head in order to put it in the signature and still see the background. Then I changed its properties to get the color to change so it would stand out more.  The second picture I made I had to create a new brush pattern by drawing a curve with the pen tool. This took me a bit to figure out because in the tutorial the person was using a pressure sensitive tablet while I was not. After painting with the new brush and making the lines red I made a color overlay to get the blue and green effects on the red lines. In the third picture I had to get new brushes in order to create a similar picture to what they had. After creating a design with the brushes I used Polar coordinates to create a spiral effect. I then edited the layer's properties to get the image to stand out more and be sharper. I then decided to repeat this process to add another little portion to it so it would look more complete. After finishing the actual abstract I then put in some words and made them look beveled.

One Point Perspective Room

Here is my room which I made using One Point Perspective. I added a door, a rug, and a window and I plan to add a television soon.

Haunted House

I this picture I added some paint damage to the house as well as some Graffiti . I think this adds to the picture making it feel more creepy.

One point Perspective

Here is a diagram showing the parts of a One Point Perspective photo. The red lines show lines from the picture which all lead to the Vanishing Point. The Vanishing point is shown as a blue dot, this dot is also located on the Horizon Line shown in green. The light blue lines indicate the vertical lines in the photo.

Walking Gif

Here is my first attempt at creating cyclic animated gif.

Spider-Doo-FINISHED

Here is my completed Spider-Doo, however I do plan to continue working on it and finishing the second Spider-Man and also add the eyes from the Spider-Man mask onto both heads.

Rhino-Zebra hybrid FINISHED

In this project I took a zebra and a rhino from two separate pictures and merged them together using a wide variety of tools in Photoshop. I then painted an extra layer to shadow and give the zebra-rhino thing some depth and some effects of dirt.

FINAL- Statue cut out

I cut out the blue sky around the Statue of Liberty using the lasso and magic wand tools in Photoshop.

FINAL- Dog

In this project I had to remove some telephone poles and a huge tree, I also had to get rid of a few small people in the background.

FINAL- Street

Finished the street picture. I edited out some light poles a sign for some stores and a car.
