Final Project Grayscale

This is the grayscale copy of my Matte Painting Final. It is far from finished but the general layout for what I want to create is essentially there.

Landscape Matte Painting

This is my finished Landscape Matte Painting. I used Adjustment Layers on all 5 pieces that made of this picture, color-correcting it so that the pieces would blend together more naturally.

This is my finished Matte Painting. I used a restaurant in the city as my central location and added in a new sky. I also added some vehicles on the street along with a fire extinguisher placed on the side of the building to fill the picture more. I used adjustment layers to color correct this picture.

Matte Painting Cliff...

This is my completed Matte Painting Cliff. I used many adjustment layers to darken and color-correct the image to match the landscape and the sky. I also repositioned the Hiker to give more of a view to the landscape.

Inking Project, Finished.

This is the Inking project which I recently finished. I added more detail to the shirts and switched up some colors.

Inking Self-Portrait

I used Adobe Illustrator for this assignment. I used the Pen Tool with the Fill on to create most of this portrait, including the shirt, face and hat. For the nose, lips and frame of the glasses, I simply used the lines.

This is my next color blending project. The boxes were the toughest part, matching the blending to the one on the left. I switched between hard & soft brushes to help blend the colors, and used the eyedropper tool to match the right hue.

Blending Practice

This is the chart used for my blending practice.

Photo Color Correction

This is the finished product of a Photo I took of the Michael Jordan statue in front of the United Center, color corrected. I used Brightness & Contrast along with Levels, Hue, Saturation and Photo Filter to cool the image.

Adjustment Layer Assignment

This is my completed assignment. The background was the hardest to adjust as it would block out a portion of my work. I used the Bevel along with some Inner & Outer glow. I also used the Brightness, Hue & Level Adjustment Layers among others.

My First Color Correction assignment. The Peach was the most difficult of the photos to correct. I used Adjustment Layers along with Brightness/Contrast, Photo Filter and Hue/Saturation.

GD2 Project 2

My second Project in Game Design II. The fruit was somewhat troublesome and the hair was a slight pain. I used the Magic Wand tool along with Quick Masking to separate the subject from the background.

My Recent PhotoShop work...

Part of a Project I recently completed...

Completed...

And this is the finished product. I used inner and outer glow to create the neon sign along with the glowing footsteps. I painted the trashcans and blended the colors together, and use gradient layers along with clouds to develop the fog-like scene. I used adjustment layers to change the scene from day to night.

My progress so far with my final project...

My Matte Painting Final premise...

This is the photo I'll be working on for my final. My hope is to give it a full transformation...

My London Tower Matte...

This is the finished product of my work. I used Adjustment Layers of Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, Levels and Curves to match the look for nighttime. I then added a Photo Filter and Defringe to finely tune it.

My Planet Matte...

This is the finished product of my work. I used Gradient Overlay to give the background a cosmic feel, and added three layers of clouds to reduce the blackness in the background. I used the burn tool and a color balance on Jupiter itself, and an outer glow on the shine coming off the planet, before adding a dulled and faded ray of light.

City Meteor Work in Progress...

Still working on this, hope to finish up soon.

My Finished Matte Cliff...

The finished product.

My Recent work in GD2...

I was able to complete this work in 2 hours 30 minutes, most of which was spent fine-tuning and checking for any errors I made. The work itself is made of four layers, and I used the erase tool, the quick select tool and the Layering Option to complete this.

My Work on Blending...

I used the eye dropper tool to match the correct colors for the blending. I then used the brush to mark the areas where the colors were the purest, leaving a small space where I could blend them together. I then used the eye dropper again to blend two colors, and used the air brush tool to fade the lines where the colors gradually changed.

My Work on Photoshop Quick Masking...

I began by using the Curves option in PhotoShop to color-correct the original image of the swords by using the handle for the darkest part, the blade for the lightest, and a shaded part of the blade for the gray. I then used the Quick Mask Tool to cut the 5 swords I wanted out of the photo, and inserted them into a Japanese Forest image.

This is a Test...

This is only a test.
