Photoshop and me.

Hey

so this is my first post ever on this blogg! here it all starts. Here it all begins. purpose of this blog is to post things on things I do and make aswell as other personal and semi personal things and also will be about World of Warcraft alittle bit! so keep tuned if you are interested, I will be trying to update it atleast every sunday.

This post will be about pretty much photoshop, its been several years now that I have been "playing" around with photoshop, trying this and that, everything from drawing in the start when i used it as paint, to starting to drawing this and won a contest in "Habbo Hotell" when i was like 14 or so, now im 20 and my photoshop level has rised from basic to what atleast i'd say good advanced, I now try to find tutorials of various ranges from advanced to knowledged expert levels to become better. I have not so long ago made an good to evil picture of Po the panda in Kung Fu Panda. I was happy with it but it was missing something about it in general.

before I post the pictures I'd want to add that my photoshop experience and training is only from a few texture tutorials in start, it was 5 years self playing with it and I could handle making quite good forum signatures before I started using text tutorials and then other tutorials to moving on, so I was novice leveld when I started using tutorials.

the picture shown below is the Kung Fu Panda one, my first shot on the tutorial making an Good to evil transformation. it sounds and looked easy, but getting it to become good as I wanted it and for it to look nice, it aint the easiest to do, id say you would have to be atleast advanced skilled to get an good outcome easily.

Then I was quite satisfied with how it turned out, The picture was nice to make, it had the "good evil" look sort of already, the manipulation and editing made it just better. angel on one side, raging zombie on the other!

so I was wondering abit and decided to give it another go, this time more experienced on how to I decided to google and find a girls face, I found one in high def and decided to try out again. the result on this image was quite alot better I think atleast seeing that its a person, aswell as I myself think I got a quite evil look for it, aswell as a nice "goodside" look.

Again there is of course a clear difference in the good and evil side, the text adds abit more "coolness" effect I think, bad things about this one is that I didnt tweak the eye wounds as much as I should, overall outcome on it I find good atleast.
