Lookie here, blue skin!
 

Ok, well, see, over the weekend, I was bored, and I was sitting there at my computer, thinking "Hmmmmmm, what to do... what to do..."

After a while, I found myself listening to music... then downloading music... then browsing around on a couple of music forums... then in Adobe Photoshop 7.0, editing the colours of a digital photo my sister took of me while I was watching tv, to suit the colours of a character featured in a story that Qeeko and I are working on (which sorta feature us... eh heh *sweatdrop*).


Then, I had an idea for another picture, so I grabbed the camera, took a shot, did the colour edit diddy thing, and did this picture:



Sooooooo, anyways, thoughts? Suggestions?
Think you need a reality check? :rolleyes:

The second one is so cool! It looks like it could have been made with CGI, it's hard to believe it's a real picture.

Great job! :D

It looks niffty. I did somethig like that with a negative picture once.

I see X and X

YOU overclocked your memory!
 

Dued, Chicago, you got the X's going here, did you exceed your bandwich? Fix it for the people!

I'm seein' everything just fine.

It's amazing what some people can do with their image manipulation tools these days. If I didn't kno any better, I would think that's Chicago's natural skin color since his clothes and background are still positive. But, since I do know better...

same here Otaku Son he does resemble somthing like nightcrawler from X-men

Lycanthrope: Fixed. Images are now being hosted on ImageShack for your viewing.

SAAM: Yeah, I agree with you. The second one is cooler.
I spent a lot longer with that picture (took the picture at 4 PM, started work on it at sometime past midnight, finished it at 3:15 AM) - Most of that time was spent separating the eyebrow hairs from the skin... I eventually gave up :rolleyes:
Glad you like!

TSOV: You wouldn't happen to still have that picture, would you?

Otaku: Almost anything can be achieved with image tools, given enough time and effort is put into use.

For the second picture:
The skin colour was a three-layer job.
The hair, five-layers.
The eye, including eye-lashes, was an eight-layer diddy.

Like I said, time and effort, and a lot of free time. :rolleyes:

Qeeko: Hopefully those ×s'll stop showing up now. Hence, the picture has been fixededed!

Eded.

i must admit if you take pictures and have it negative it always looks cool.

Oh Lordy H: I didn't see your first post... Silly me, I take too long to type sometimes *sweatdrop*

Anyway! About the whole Nightcrawler reminder diddy thing... Although I had seen X-Men before doing those pictures, I had also done up a sprite of myself (aka, my internet character) way before doing the pictures too.

And true that, most pictures do look pretty cool negative. :cool:

dat's cool

Havin a little fun
 

Couldn't resist doing more to it. Was listening to Danzig - Angel Blake when I did it. The lyrics strangely kinda work with the picture. A border contains the contrast, so to speak, and makes the person focus more on ChicagoxLollie. Desaturated the hair 'cause it looked niftier that way.
so without further adoooo

a simple 10 minute grunge. nothin fancy.

Whee!
 

Pictures! Yeeeeeeee!! *jumps onto the ceiling* Chicago should love that! I love putting song lyrics to things, whereas he just writes his own ^_^;;

Wow, cool... O.O *stares*

I got the skin tone/texture from making a layer copy and setting the layer effect to..i think..either Color Burn or Multiply. Can't remember what one it was.

*looking at the grunge job*

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude... :cool:
Skweeb, your grunge stuff is just so cool. 10 minute job or not, it still looks great. :D


Qeeko: I've only done one set of lyrics, and even I know that only one piece could even be considered for use on an image. :p

Question...how u get coloured writing

[topic=off]

Uhh... Selected the text, then colored it?
Stuffed if I know how to explain it. :rolleyes:

Its all about color complimentary and balance. Thats the most important thing about grungeing. followed closely by moderation.

Though i guess the most important thing is knowing your chosen program pretty well.
