Deer Walk Cycle

Butterbee Love

Butterdog

My newimal project was a combination of a butterfly and a dalmation dog. I chose a white butterfly and a spotted dog. I pasted the dog onto the butterfly, eliminating the caterpillar part and just leaving the wings behind. I then used the marquee tool to transfer the spots from the dog to the wings to blend it and make it seem a bit more realistic. The hardest part was probably having to switch back and forth from each layer to stamp the correct patterns on the coressponding picture. It was a long process but i finished it and i am content with the results. FLY AWAY BUTTERDOG!

Rays of Hope- Picture Frame Me

The Picture Frame Me Project was a good way to start off using the materials we've learned from the given tutorials. It provided a way for me to be creative and use what i've learned so far. I decided that i wanted to do something controversial, different. I have put my head inside the picture frame as though im underwater when in reality i am standing in a sun shining desert. There is color but also some contrast with the black and white background sky. I like to think of the rays as a ray of hope shining through in the stress of situations.

Gradients

This tutorial was very helpful in further extending our skills at using the gradient tool which may be one of the most important tools in photoshop because it adds dimention and allows the work to look more realistic. The button was probably one of the favorite items to do while the speaker box was the most irritating with all the marquee shapes required. They were all great objects to work on. Lets go from DARK to LIGHT!

Banana Shine

The Banana Shine tutorial was much easier than the other tutorials have been but it also consists of new tools to enhance our photoshop. The gradient tool was a major part of this project to assimilate the shine from the banana. If i were to do this project again, i would pay closer attention to the layers im working on because it can get a little confusing after duplicating layers. Overall this project was an interesting learning experience, went BANANAS over it!

Colorize Dancer

The Colorize was easier to make than all the other projects so far but it did also introduce alot more techniques that i hadnt used before. I especially like the blur tool to make the dancer come together and really stand out. Each color difference is well blended into the next improving the appearance of the picture. If i had to do this project all over again i would perhaps choose a different shade of colors to make it different than the bright ones i chose for this time.

Leafeer

I chose to combine the deer with imprints of maple leaves. Hunters typically wear camoflauge when hunting for deer and in this case, the deer is the one wearing camoflauge to avoid the hunters' rifles. I would say that the most difficult part of this project was being able to get the right shade of the leaf imprint to allow the animal to be shown through as well. If i were to do this project again, i would pay closer attention to matching each layer of leaf imprint a little bit better than i did this time. Overall this project showed me much more techniques to apply in further projects.
