My College Poster

So I know that I haven't had many things uploaded this semester, and I apologize for that. To make it up to you, I made this great college poster for NHS on where I'm going next year! I made it in Photoshop using the skills I learned in this class, so thank you for that! Here it is:



Also, if this doesn't suffice as enough effort for my missing assignments, here is an attractive photo of Adam Lambert. You're welcome :p



Thanks for teaching me awesome skills in this class that I can now use throughout my life! You're super cool! :D

Parts Project: Tiger!


Holla! For this  project, we had to combine a bunch of random objects to make up a bigger object, so I made a tiger using kitten, Cheetos, roses, glitter, orange slices, annd random pink objects. Came out pretty awesome! :D

Last Post of this Quarter: My Most Successful Work

I believe my most successful work was....my Mesh Project: Guitar Tree!


The type of project I selected is a photoshop project, my favorite type. I believe this is my most successful work because it took a lot of time and effort and the end result came out great. I will definitely use the techniques I learned from doing this project of merging layers, adding shadow effects, and the history brush. I would love to do more Photoshop projects including using the liquify tool, warp, and the gradient tool. I would like to do less walk cycles because that was really difficult and caused me anguish.

Glow Cinemagraph


This project was hard. You may ask, what is a cinemagraph? Well my friend, a cinemagraph is a moving photograph, combining the best of both video and photography. I made my glow lamp move and everything else still by taking a ton of pics and stringing them together.  That's it. Yay! ;D

When Pigs Fly Cinemagraph


This project was hard. You may ask, what is a cinemagraph? Well my friend, a cinemagraph is a moving photograph, combining the best of both video and photography. I made my solar-powered pig move and everything else still by taking a ton of pics and stringing them together.  That's it. Yay! ;D

Cosmetic Magazine Cover


This magazine cover takes the elements of what I learned with text and porportions I've learned in this class. First, I picked the official Taylor Swift font to use for the magazine title. I chose Cosmetic magazine because it is a real magazine that is all about plastic surgery, which clearly my girl has had gone wrong, hence the cover story. Next I chose some other subheadings to use as other articles in the magazine. I restricted my color usage as well, only using shades of blue to corespond with her eyes. I added the blue border cuz Time magazine does that too and it looks pretty official. That's about it! Yay! :)

The Barbie Project




Holy bejesus this is the scariest thing I've ever made. I created a monster and now I feel like Victor Frankenstein for it.
The goal of this project was to take someone famous and give them different proportions to a cartoon character of my choice. I chose to take Taylor Swift and give her Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls.
It's really creepy with Taylor's enlarged eyes, non-existant nose, and scary smile. I brightened her eyes up and made her hair fluorescent yellow.
I will not be offended if you close out of this screen immediately due to nightmarish thoughts. You're welcome.

123DSculpt Project







Describe the art you created:
          I made a pufferfish. I started out with a round ball of "clay" and used the morph tool to make spikes. I used the bulge tool to make the eyes and lips. Then I painted it and added a texture. 

Describe what you liked and didn’t like about the app.

          Liked: All the different choices that were available to use, such as the different shapes, textures, and    colors. 
          Disliked: I had no clue what any of the tools did, I had to test them all out first. No description with them.
Describe a future project you think would be cool to do using this app.

           If we made a creature with 123DSculpt and then the Sculpture brought it to life in their class! :)

Another Photoshop Makeup


Photoshop Makeup

whoa.


Walk Cycle


1. Did you stay away from obvious inanimate elements like water or water and use something unique?
Yes I did and I used a robot.  

2. How are your cut and pastes? Are they clean or are there jagged edges?
Not gonna lie, it's really bad. I'll openly admit that. Sorry. I don't know what with how shaky it looks, kinda like he's having a seizure. At least we can all get a good laugh at how awful I am at animating! ;D 

3. Did you make it seamless by matching colors, textures or shapes?
 Yes and I think I did a good job with it, especially considering I'm not the best of artist. I am a professional colorer though! 

4. Did you demonstrate Juxtaposition, strong contrast, irony, or other have another reason behind your thinking?
Ummmm....no? It's not really ironic, it's just a walking robot who gives a peace sign at the end haha that's about it :) 



Bell Animation


This was my 1st working with animation, as you can clearly tell cuz it's awful. I apologize that you even have to look at it. Feel free to go leave this page and not leave a rude comment about how much this sucks. 
I attempted to make the bell swing back and forth. That's about all I have to say for this project. The most vital thing I learned from this doing this animation project is that I respect cartoon animators a heck of a lot more now!

 From my fabulous list of animate and inanimate objects below, I chose to combine a tree and a guitar. I chose these two because i thought it would be cool to transform the neck of the guitar into the trunk of a tree that branches off.

I used an eraser shaped like the leaves and scattered them over the guitrar tree to add an extra effect.

My Newimal: A Giraffingo!



I combined a giraffe and a flamingo, making a giraffingo. I took the neck and head of a giraffe and put it on a flamingo. I used the puppet warp to bend the giraffe's neck to fit onto the flamingo's. I was able to change the color of the giraffe to match the body of the flamingo and then I added the giraffe texture print to the flamingo's body.

Cartoon Project


I used a photo of myself lying down on the ground and pasted it into an undersea scene of me getting eaten by a shark from Finding Nemo
The scuba mask on my face is overlapping, as well as Bruce the shark about to take a bite out of my legs.
When taking the photo, I lied down on the floor and made it look like I was swimming.
My image is of high interaction because I am under attack by Bruce, I have a scuba mask on, and I added in bubbles.

Frog Tounge

I really like this art piece, it's creative. I think it came out pretty nicely. I used the healing brush to make the tounge look more realistic and the same way through. I don't think the shadowing worked as well as it should of. I would change the animal that I used, like a lolcat or something. The most difficult part was switching between the layers each time I was using the clone stamp, that was annoying. I learned how to use the clone stamp more efficiently.

Cute Angry Pancake

awwww!
Okay, this piece is completely adorable! This piece was super successful, fun, and easy to do. I believe everything worked about this project since it came out so well, just saying. I would change how many times I used the liquify tool (I kept messing up). The most difficult part was to make sure the mouth matched the color of the pancakes. I learned how much I love this class and how happy I am that I took this class!
