Bad Mail

Bad Mail dude, its no bueno. This is the last project. This is it. I will miss you Mr Sands!

Oh dear...

This was ridiculous. We should not be given this much creative freedom. I enjoyed it though.

RUN !!!

If you hear banjo music...this was pretty easy I just found a blank caution sign and filled in the rest.

Cougaroo

That's anatomically accurate too.

Unbelievea-Bullet

Oh look, a bullet in motion. That's pretty cool. This really didn't take that long at all. It was really easy.

Big Brother

So the secret service might get on me about this but it was worth it. I had to take my time and get the shading and blending right but it turned out pretty nice. And creepy.

Surfs Up

This was harder. I had issues with the layering and I had to find a background. I literally had to venture onto Google and find a background. Do you know how traumatic that was? I'm going to need counseling.

I Seriously Don't know...

This was really easy. All of these 12 day projects are easy. I changed the words. Okay. Have a day.

Loco

Hola como estas? Somewhere deep in the Mojave Desert this little amigo found his way out of a hiding spot. Once I got the hang of the marquee tool it was pretty smooth sailing.

Duck

This my ducky. His name Fred. He was kinda not the most exciting thing that I've ever done. But pretty easy.

Flowahs

This one was really easy. Working with vectors makes everything really easy. The hardest part was finding out where the layers button was in Illustrator. Super easy stuff.

Cinemagraph

I thought that I would have to do a lot more work on this one. It came out a little bit choppy but I couldn't get the frame speed to the point where it was smooth without it looking like I was standing in a tornado. So that was cool. But altogether it turned out alright.

2-D

This dude is sweet! He took so long to draw out each part of this and put it together but it was worth it in the end.

Papa Bear

This dude tries to break dance but hes a little bit slow. He's old cut him some slack. This video just took a long time to do anything. Taking all of the pictures was tedious and it didn't get better when we had to edit. Flash takes a while to get used to but overall it went over pretty well.

Underground

Look who Mr. Sans met in NYC! They said he was dead but really? Tupac is alive man!

Mushtang

This was interesting. I started out doing a picture that was going to be really tedious and probably would not have turned out so great, so I decided to stick with the mustang. I love this car so I figured it was a good subject. This project was not too technically challenging but it did take a lot of manipulation.

Color Wheels

Okay this project was clearly not the best. I had issues with the gradient map and eventually i just got tired of messing with it and colorized the whole freakin thing. Okay...next project please?

High As An Astronaut

Outer space has so many different options for colors and objects that it was pretty easy to just pick a few colors and run with it. The hardest part was getting the planet to be how I wanted. I had to discover the clouds option on Render to be able to give the planet some dimension. The satellite was just for fun and looks a little unrealistic. But it was worth it.

Steve-O

Steve-O!! So this project was pretty basic as far as the colorizing goes, and it didn't take very long to complete. The hardest part was actually picking the picture I wanted to do. I like softer colors so I tried to stay away from the pinks and reds. I think it turned out pretty good.

I Want One

They are adorable. End of discussion. They have no name though...opossum + hedgehog = ?

Anyways, the most difficult part of this project was the blending. The animals look similar but I had to take my time and try to blend the spines into the fur without losing the definition of the spikes.

Just....Clones

This was a project and a half. Welcome to Photoshop okay have at it! Once I got the hang of the layers concept I was good to go but it took me a while to figure out which layer I was supposed to be working on. Thank god for classmates who know how to use PS *cough micaela cough* but after I got my layers down it was just erasing and a bit of touch up. Not bad for the first big assignment.

This Dude's A Playa'

This guy. This freakin guy am I right? He's a playa' no doubt but he was fun to make too. The graffiti on his back didn't come out as pronounced as I would have liked but the darken tool was helpful in getting some shading down. But I don't have underwater shading knowledge so that was kind of a hit or miss thing. Other than that it was pretty straightforward.

Pancakes and Tongue...Yum.

Angry Pancakes:
         This project was one that turned out to be harder for me than I thought. I has trouble getting the sizing for the mouth right and then I was unintentionally sloppy with the eraser. In the end it was helpful because I became familiar with some of the aspects of photoshop.

Frog Tongue:
         This project went much better for me. I can visualize shading very well so I was able to make the tongue look more realistic. the hardest part was getting the frog feet to look 3D. They are still rough but it was the best I could do.
