Can anyone remember if piranha are salt water or fresh water fish?


This is something that could use a lot more work but I have clients to deal with and hope that none of them see that I have just posted this drawing instead of working on their stuff! Eek!

Photoshop CS 3000


In the future we won't have to do all that heavy mouse stuff, we'll just say 'adjustment layer there' and 'give me a feathered selection there'. And we will have chairs that hover.
OK I got organised and made my first tutorial- go and have a look at it here and then you can report back and tell me what you think? Come on, why should I do all the work?

I have a teenage daughter- don't think I'm laughing here!

Sega mega drive








Some things have been around so long you take them for granted- but I would like to tip my proverbial hat to the person who created Sonic The Hedgehog. What a fantastic piece of character design. Once you are there it's easy to see it, but how anyone started with a hedgehog and ended up with Sonic is a mystery. I know that this was probably in the 90's but hey, I'm Not Toon Club, I can bend the rules. Besides my memory of games in the 80's was space invaders and asteroids. Paper boy, that was a great one, for years I felt like I was playing that again when I went through some bad traffic and people were stepping out in front of me and cars changing lanes unexpectedly. Anyway, I like cartoon characters who run so fast they have their own 'wheel spin'.

Imaginary Friend (Total layers 26)




I went a bit mad with this drawing- I counted it up afterwards and there were a Total of 26 layers used in Photoshop alone (not counting alpha layers or the numerous objects in Illustrator). Fortunately I was quite pleased with the result 'cause there is nothing worse than going to that much bother and then wanting to delete the finished piece.

I had some fun with this one but I still don't like the crowd in the background, thankfully that's where Gaussian Blur comes in!
