This was a piece I made using only the pen tool. It was for a contest, make a cute scary animation. So I started from scratch and made the hill, then I added a filter to give it texture. I did this with all the things in the piece as well. I also used bevel and emboss and outer shadows for the animals as well as the objects. I also used gradient overlays in the sky, the ground and the moon.

This is a piece I made for a contest on Worth 1000, make a scary sign.  I took a beach scene and put the sign on it. I then put the text and sniper on the sigh. Then I put the sniper in the bushes on the top left. I wanted to many the sniper visible, so the sign made sence but also make him hidden. So I made the riffle visible, but the guy hidden.

This is my finished piece for the Dali surreal contest. From the last time I posted this, I put the things face behind the glass. Then I found a green pattern and put a overlay on it. Then I used HDR and used the Surrealistic preset to make the picture different. The I made a photo filter over the globe and set it to  the cooling filter, so the face sticks out more. Then I copied the background and flipped it then set the opacity to 30%, so it looks like a shadow.

Last year when I first came into-Intro to Computer Graphics, I knew very little about Photoshop. I started out watching tutorials and learning the basics from Mr. Runge. I then progressed on throughout the year, learning more and more.

Much of my work last year, personally, I think were decent for where my skill level was at. Of course I could go back now and a much better job on most of them, considering I know a lot more than I did. Much of the pieces I made; I could call them a little sloppy, or not well integrated enough for it to look original.
