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?

Frog Prince Too




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!
