Oh no

I guess a couple images weren't enough! Now, this could just be a one-shot project, but...

College 2014: Final Assignment

Image
Finally! Now I have all my assignments on the blog before my next semester starts! My last assignment was an interesting one divided into five parts: Step 1: Make a Photoshop composition.  Here it is: Step 2: Take the previous project, take it a little bit further, and save it separately.  I decided to use the "painting" technique, only on different parts of different layers. Step 3:  Take product #2 and take it even further, saving it in a similar fashion.  Step 4: Go back to #1 and (how did you guess?) take it further, this time in a different direction.   Finally, step 5 (am I detecting a pattern here?): Take #4 and modify it somewhat, saving it as #5. I used masks and the clone tool + spot healing brush tool for most of the modification, although for #5 I used two tricks I learned from a seminar by Dr. Will Hammond (the Will Hammond who invented masking in Photoshop!): Copying parts of the background onto new layers and giving ...

BIONICLE: Tahu In His Element

Now that BIONICLE's return is (in a sense) confirmed and imminent, I decided to jump on the hype train and place the Toa of Fire's latest iteration into some Ta-Wahi scenery!  Tahu himself was made with Stud.io, but the rigging and background were done by myself. I used some displacement maps here to actually affect the ground's geometry, and I was able to use a scratched-metal texture's bump map to add some scratches to Tahu in imitation of his 2001 animation, too!

Presenting: More Splashes!

Image
The college semester rages on, but I'm still not dead!  (Actually, it's not going all too badly.)  Anyway, I've been doing more PhotoShop work for TV-Nihon, the fansubbing group I mentioned earlier! So a new Rider series is coming out, and even though I personally think the main character looks really considerably garish, I decided to see what I could do anyway!   The first, pixelated one was based on the idea that (a) the series is partially based on video games (yes, I know) and (b) stylizing the image could distract the eye from the messiness of the suit in general.  Unfortunately, the reviewer noted, the pixelation made it look a bit less pleasant than it could otherwise be, so I updated it with a less pixelated version!  In case anyone's wondering how I pixelated the image, I just scaled the image to a really small size in PhotoShop, then scaled it back up with the upscale set to "Hard Edges." The background itself is from a preset from After Ef...
