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.

This is a piece I am in the process of making. I am almost finished, i just need to add a glass affect over the face. I made this piece for a Dali contest, which is to make a sureal piece. I painted the thing had green using the color replacement tool, then I added the facial features. After I put the head in a globe.

This is a piece I made for a contest to alter an eagle into something you have never seen before. I took an owl sitting on the branch and I put an eagles head on it, and integrated it with the Smudge Tool. I then addd the white tale and used a brush to add the feathers. Then I used the color replacement tool to change the color of his talons.

This is a piece I made following a tutorial, Add Ultra Realistic Colors to Any Gray-Scale Photo. I got the original Gray-Scale photo from the tutorial then I made a new layer and set the layer blend mode to color. I then chose blue and painted the officers shirt blue, then his face and his badge and buttons.
