Comic Strip

Whew, that was a tough project.  The hardest part, I think, is making all the color. First you have to make the things see through them make them so that they're filled with just the right color.  My least favorite part about this project was getting to remove water marks.  From the start I knew what my character (and the tiger) would look like, however,  the only explorers I could find had gigantic water marks, which were the biggest pain in the universe, ever.  I think I like the scene where the tiger is jumping out of the box, it looks pretty neat.  I don't like that I didn't have time to color the background or do shadows, so that makes it look significantly worse... All in all though I learned a lot and it looks ok, so overall success!

Eddie the Donkey

9/16/2013: Eddie the Donkey was a very informative project. I learned how to make things disappear, reinforced how to drag them from one image to another.  I like how we learned how to change the colors of the grass.  I think that will be useful at some point for other things as well.  I thought it was cool how we made the grass along the bottom of the barn.  I don't know how often I'll be using the magnetic lasso though, it seemed to mess up more than the quick selection even.  Time shall tell which is more useful!

Thor: Dark World Movie Poster

9-12-13: Thor: the Dark World. I just hope that it uses better special effects than I can use. I'm finally done, sorry it took so long Mr. P. When I found my background, I immediately figured out that my entire picture couldn't fit if it was vertical. I turned it around horizontally and that removed a lot of pixilation. I had to use lots of things to make sure that everything looked ok, but mostly i just used the eraser and the quick selection. I found it very annoying that the spaceship had so many small parts. My larges problem by far though was with Jane Foster's head. It was really weird looking so I photoshopped the head of Padame Amadala on top of it, which required a lot of Hue/Saturation stuff.
