Colorized Exo

In class we messed around with layer blending and threshold adjustment
I recolored an Exo from Nuclear Dawn. In ND, Exos are a unparreled force of destruction, but for now, it just looks classy.

Turned out pretty well, but unexplained photoshop errors required me to do a printscreen, which may cause a loss of quality.

Anyway, enjoy!

Unit One!

Unit one of Comp art is complete! here is my stuff!

Project 1: Angry Pancakes: My first foray into the magical exciting land of photoshop, this pancake is rather angry. Not my best, but its an okay first attempt.


 Who wants pancakes?


Project 2: Frog tongue: my second foray, I'm getting a bit better. first use of clone tool and drop shadow. not too shabby for my second project

You might want to get that looked at...

Project 3: splatfant: not exactly a "splat" or a "fant" my plaid puffin still manages to stay classy. Creating the puffin used mainly the warp tool and opacity settings. 

They've gone to plaid!


Newimals: My combination of a penguin and gull turned out rather well, color blending was quite annoying. any gaps made by removing gull parts were replaced by the clone tool. much fine tuning was required.

Flying Penguin!


Clone Project:  The clone project utilized mainly the eraser and the ordering of layers. unfortunately, due to the sheer number of layers, some distortion was inevitable. next time, I should consider using the polygonal selection tool instead of the eraser. All in all, the Max Horder turned out pretty well, and is as ravenous as ever.
I seem to have developed a taste for brains...

The end to a snazzy year

A snazzy semester (filled with shenanigans) has passed, and it is time to conclude this blog.

Final Exam:

1: what project I've learned the most from: considering that I was a total scrub at Art before I took this class, it's kinda hard to pin down a single project I learned the most from. I would would narrow it down to the pastel portrait, the painting, and Photoshop, as those seem to be my most successful projects.


2: The Most relevant project: since I doubt that I'll painting again, I would most likely say learning about Photoshop, since that's a skill that is applicable in many situations. Also, I'm planning on taking computer art so, learning about Photoshop helps there too.


3: The project of least value was most likely the fish print, since they didn't really turn out well, and it is not an art form i'd be interested in pursuing.


This is most likely the last post on this blog, but I'll probably have a computer art blog next year.

Snazz-Ox(en)

In art class, we did some painting shenanigans. These shenanigans consisted of the use of acrylic paint, brushes, and a canvas. My painting was of some oxen chillin' like villains in a flowery field. It turned out to be ~9 times more snazzy than I would of thought.
