Cartoon Celebrity

Franck Ribery as Patrick Star:

The objective of this project was to take a celebrity or an athlete and make them look like a cartoon character. For my specific work, I took world famous soccer player, Franck Ribery, and used the warp tool to shape his head in the same likeness of Patrick Star, from Spongebob. I then selected the head portion and used the hue/saturation tool to give him the pink hue of Patrick

Retouch Part 2...Before and After

Before

This was the original picture we were given to edit.

After

This was the edited picture. I changed the hair color, eye color, and brought out the eyes and lips. Also, all blemishes were removed and the skin color was lightened/softened.

                                                                        

Retouch Part 1

Retouch Part 1
This tutorial taught us how to remove blemishes from the skin and to soften the look in the process. Through a variety of cutting and softening techniques,. various attributes were added and removed to create an almost new looking person.

Paint Splats

Paint Splats-
This project dealt with the use of various shapes and sizes of paint splats and their incorporation into a picture to seem as if they were actually a part of it. This picture is of 2 of my favorite soccer players. I used the spray-like splats to create an effect of an impact splatter as the foot of one player struck the other. The spray gives an effect of motion and seem as though the splats came off of the player as he was kicked.

Newimal

Newimal

This project was to create a new animal out of the combination of several animals. That is exactly what I did through this creation. This picture is comprised of a horse, a duck, a the pelt of a white tiger. The result, while somewhat creepy, it pretty well in its composition to create a new looking animal

SplatFant

This project dealt with the introduction of the warp tool and its use with morphing one picture to fit another. In this picture, an image of an elephant had paint splatters morphed onto it and darkened to give the effect of an elephant covered in paint. The morphing was simple as the contours of the elephants' trunk were fairly straight forward and easy to maneuver.

Skeleton X-Ray

This project dealt with hue saturation, inverse, and the cropping and transforming of various layers. To complete this project, 2 original pictures were needed, one of myself, and one of a skeleton. The picture of me was never altered while all the other elements were tailored to fit inside of the frame, to give the impression of an x-ray. At the end, an arrow is added to the xray to create a humorous effect.

Colorize

Colorize

This project dealt with multiple layers and the use of colors while blending. To create the desired effect, several layers of the same picture were created until one was colored over and then blended in to the rest. This project was simple yet still pretty cool

Cartoon Project

Cartoon Picture

This picture is composed of 2 separate pictures and was my first time freely working with layers. I took a picture of me at a lake in Kentucky, where my grandparents live, and I tried to incorporate a picture of the Loch Ness Monster. Suitable pictures of the monster were hard to find but I feel like the end result was fairly good. However, some of the shadows got messed up when I tried to alternate them and, if I had more time, I would have spent more time fixing them to add a better look to the picture.
