Background 3

This is my final background I have created, and it is a stripe background.  I changed what the tutorial did with the motion blur because I thought it took away the affect of the ocean ripple which I thought was cool.  So to create this image I set a distance of 50 pixels instead of 225.  Overall it is really simple but I think it creates a really cool image.

Backround 3

This is my third background and it is supposed to be a streaky background.  If I redo this background I will change the colors because I do not think that they are opposing enough and so the effect is not as apparent.  This tutorial was pretty easy so I think I will have to change it using different colors, but this tutorial went through some really cool filter like the ocean ripple which I think overall could just be used as a background.

Background 2

This is one of the backgrounds I created using the blur filter and also adding white streaks.  I think it turned out really cool and unique.  The picture started out as a beach scene and I chose that because I though all of the colors would blend nicely and overall I think that the colors do seem to flow seamlessly.  I think that this background is very classic and it is nice to know how to do it.  The blurring of the photo was very easy because I was just using filters but creating the white strips was harder.  It was hard because I had to make sure that it was not too thick but it would still create a cool illusion.  Overall I am very pleased with how it turned out and I think that it turned out nicely.

Pixel Background

This is the first background I created and I think that it turned out really cool.  The image above is the full image I chose and it was a whole bunch of hot air  balloons because they were really colorful and I thought that they would create a nice image.  Overall I think it turned out really cool and what the tutorial did was go through a lot of filters like motion blur and pixelate to create this sort of image.

Final Sphere

This is my final sphere and I incorporated all of the components of the sphere that are necessary and labeled them all in the layers.  I think that my sphere looks pretty good I struggled with it a lot so I started over multiple times but overall I think it turned out alright.  For the shadow I looked up a tutorial online because whenever I tried to do it with the brush it did not turn out looking normal but with this tutorial I think that it turned out looking pretty good.  Overall it was really hard to make it look like a sphere and I think that the reference picture looks realer but I tried to make it look as good as I could.

Blending Practice with a Mask

This is my practice with the mask, and my goal was to create a circle that looked as if light was hitting it so you cold see the light and the shadows.  Overall it was a good way to practice blending and doing so in a mask is nice because it is easier to not mess up.  Also this practice will help me create my sphere because I understand how the mask works and how to blend from light to dark.

Sphere

Today I was able to work on my sphere.  I think that the shadow is too dark so next class I will have to fix that.  I am having a lot of problems recreating the shadow because of the edges and how dark it needs to be.  Also today I added the spotlight and I think that it looks nice.  Overall I think that if I keep working with the sphere it will eventually be perfect.

Sphere

This is my sphere that I have started to work on, and I think it is coming along nicely.  I had to start over because my first sphere did not look good, it definitely looked very over worked.  This sphere is coming along well and I think that all of the shading looks good and hopefully next class I will be able to create a nice shadow.

Brush Flow

These are the two pictures where I was able to created a flow across the picture.  I have noticed that it was a lot more difficult to blend colors that were not similar like the pink and green but overall I think that it is a good representation of blending colors.

Brush Testing

On these pictures I used the brush tools to make different pictures.  On the first picture I thought it was really cool all of the textures you could create with the brush and I think that some of the brushes create cooler textures if their opacity and flow is changed.  On the second picture I was just changing the flow and opacity to see how I could blend different colors. With the third picture I used the brush tools to kind of create a scene, I like how all of the different colors blend together in this picture.

Painting 1

This is the first painting I worked on and so I just focused on the flow and opacity tool.  One of the things I think will be harder is blending out the colors, but at some parts I think it looks cool layered.  I think I like the flow tool better because it seems a lot more natural than the opacity tool.

One Point Perspective Room

Today I worked on the one point perspective picture.  I was able to create a door and a window, I think that they both look good and they look like they are reaching back into the center of the picture.  I think that I might need to fix the window but besides that I think that this project is going well.

One point perspective room

This is my one point perspective room.  I was able to create all of the lines necessary in order to create the illusion of the room in the distance, and all of my line that go away from the center were all started at the vanishing point.  I think that I will need to fix some of my layers and create folders for them next class.

One Point Perspective: Vanishing Point

This is my Vanishing Point image, I have eight lines that lead to the vanishing point which is in the center of the image.  All of the diagonal lines in the picture lead to this point which makes it a 1 point perspective.  Also all of the vertical lines are strait up and down in this picture and they are noted by the blue lines.  The green line is the horizontal line for this picture.

Haunted House

I worked on the shading of the scene today.  I tried to make it so that the colors sort of matched but also gave it more of a creepier vibe.  I also filled in the bottom space a little bit to make it look like the house is actually sitting there not one picture on top of another.  Overall I still need to work on the creepiness of the house by adding textures.

Animation Finished

I was able to load the gorilla as a web file and so now you can see the animation,  I lined up the gorilla using the ruler tool and so  I think it is a finished project.

Animation

Today I worked on the animation in class, I was able to get quite far in it.  I think next class that I will need to line up the pictures better so it is not as choppy.  Overall though I was quite plesed with it and I need to figure out how to save it to the web so it can be a video.

Haunted House 4

Today I added a lot to the windows and doors in order to make the house much more creepy.  The problem I have with it now is that it does not really match the house at this moment but I am hoping that with the color saturation and the things you can change it will look better.  I still need to add a foreground but I think I will need to make the house smaller because right now you would not really be able to see any grass.  Also I need to add textures to the house and backround and I think that will be my next step.

Haunted House 3

Today I was able to add some broken windows to my pictures.  Also I cut out the house a little bit better than it was before.  Though I still need to work on the ground and getting that to match the backround picture.  Overall I think my picture is going well.

Haunted House Day 2

Today in class I was able to work on using the healing brush to replace some of the wires on the house.  I also cut it out better today and I think that the replacement in looking nice.
