But manipping is so addicting

Sep 12, 2008 22:53

Gah! Once I decided to go on hiatus and focus on my studies and college life in general, I suddenly get this forbidden-fruit-mindset thingie, and I can't stop thinking about manipping! So since I had some time today, I decided to play around on my photoshop . . . again. And I changed my layout ( Read more... )

manips, dhr

OMG! #3 was yours! That was by far my favorite icon that week, the coloring and cropping are both just lovely! Keep up the great work :)

Aww, thank you! :D

Yes, I am a fan of your art! :D
I especially like icon #6 -> so cool with the green eyes! Which picture is the original, if I may ask?

Oh, and one question: How do you change the color of the eyes in a picture from dark brown to azure? Or is that even possible? I'd need that for a manip of mine...

Keep it going! <3

Yeah, of course it's possible - you select the eyes, then use Hue/Saturation where you check the 'colorize' function (this is crucial!) and then you get the eyes to be the color you want, and wah-lah! You're done.

Of course, I recommend adding some contrast somehow (curves, levels, brightness/contrast, it really doesn't matter) so that you can see the pupil better.

See?

Lovely! Oh, wow... really. I love everything! The first large manip gave me that swoop in the belly-- it is so sweet and tender; a touching moment between two lovers. And the potions class is perfect, snapshot of a couple being discrete in class. And the last two rock, as well. Brilliant! I love how you combine just the right facial expressions of each character to tell a new story in your manip! This is talent+++.
Oh, and good luck in school, darling!

As for the last two manips, one of them was almost identical to what mystik-rose submitted - that was an awkward moment. >.>"

Well, except that in mine I erased Harry's head, but still.

Glad you like! :D

Oh, I snagged # 12. Of course will credit. I LOVE it so much!!!! Thanks you.

Aww, thank you! :D

The first one is by far my favourite, and beautiful in its sentimentality. :)
I totally understand--starting school again has been annoying, and so much reading, and gah, all I want to do is write but I have no time.

Yeah. I go on hiatus and suddenly all these ideas come on me, and I can't stop playing around with Photoshop - it's bad. I have too much stuff to do!

Thanks! :D
