Jared, the Photoshop guy

-
this was pretty easy, I must confess. I already had a general idea of what I wanted to do, and it all started with Singapore. Or.. a photo of Singapore.
Meet Jared! I used a black and white color filter on his skin, I used a mask tool to get the trees onto his hair. I used blending layers on the suit, and color gradients on the suit as well to get that color. to amplify the shading, I placed a bevel and emboss layer as well. overall, I had to add a second layer of contrast, to make everything stand apart.
the hair, generally, didn't turn out like I wanted it to. but the rest of it? it was exactly how. I wanted it to be. I'm actually really proud of this.

Analogous This logo uses the analogous color scheme, using the colors green, lime green, and yellow. I think it uses these colors to show an optimistic, Eco-friendly oil company.

Our House, in the Middle of Our House

oh my god... I've said it so many times it isn't even funny anymore, but this one. this project... this... HOUSE... was by far the most painstaking, longest, and the most TEDIOUS project I have ever done in e9 so far.  the satisfaction that washed over me when I realized all I had to do was paint... it was absolutely remarkable. The feeling of content when I realized I was done painting... treasuring. The moment when I rendered the final frame... the gratification... Just stunning. (in case you're wondering, this is my house) alright, so...? I heard the rumors from other animation students that this was the hardest project in e9. I took heed to this advice, but I also took it with a grain of salt, it couldn't be too hard, right? I already made multiple chairs. I felt like a master of sketchup. oh, dear sweet naive little Audrey. (by the way, this is the house I tried to replicate ) You start with a square, to scale. that's it. from ther...

RIP my little poopy butt- a vector portrait

Afro, my cat, died September something, 2018! he was eighteen, skinny, old and loved to cuddle. he was practically on death's door, so I was pretty alright when he was put down. Rip my little buttface. to pay respect to my scruffy little baby, I decided to use this picture of him for the vectored portrait. isn't he adorable?????? it didn't take long to like... crop anything. unfortunately, when I tried to posterize him, it didn't end up well. so I just used the organic picture. there was enough clear contrast that it was easy :D! I would truly like to thank my friend, Eli for giving me tips for illustrator; he taught me about the pen curve tool (just below the pen tool) and it saved my life. this prevented the portrait from becoming too chunky, and smoothed out areas. so that ended up pretty well. overall it was fairly easy, it was just truly tedious. which I didn't mind, it was therapeutic in a way. I organized by layer: white, grey, face, ears, eyes, etc. e...
