I was supposed to be doing my assessment and MSA 2010 newsletter design when the caffeine and boredom in my bloodstream started acting up. Without realizing, i had my webcam open and i took several shots of myself. A camwhore would have been amused just by doing this but unfortunately (or fortunately, when you think about it), i am no camwhore. I started putting one of those photos on photoshop and see if i can mess around with it. The result, to my lowest expectation, turned out to be really awesome (at least in my eyes, i think)
Anyways, this was the photo. Please pardon the narcissism.
To those who are familiar with using Photoshop, i thought i might as well share how the mess-around process came about. To those who arent, please skip the following paragraph right ahead.
The process was surprisingly easy. First, i just adjusted the level of the photo to literally shroud the photo in darkness. Then i borrowed Venom's fangy, grinning mouth to replace the invinsible one in the photo. (You might have to tweak Venom's mouth a lil bit so that the mouth appear naturally in tone and in size with the original photo) Afterwards, i just filtered the photo with lens flare render for the glowing eye. However, instead of putting the flare on the same level, i created a new level, put a black splotch on it, and then i had the lens flare on - just so that i can mess around with the size of the light flare (you might notice that i have oblong-ated the shape of the flare). Finally, its all basic photoshop cut and paste work to have the wordings on the photo.
And here's the final piece. For a rusty skill, i like how this turned out.
Anyway, i know this isnt much of a post but, whatever. Just felt like making this a blogpost for the fun of it. I'll be back with more meaningful posts soon. Oh yeah. and Happy Halloween people!
Delaqroux Out.
