Part of a project for school is a spacey pic with a spaceship. I turned it into something "Super". Hope you like it.

I am studying animation so, along with some simple photoshop stuff like this,
I will also be posting some of the Flash cartoons I make further down the track
as well as 3DS Max things. Stay tuned - and helpful critique is welcome.

Well thanks for taking the time to comment guys!. Allow me to to now reveal how it went. In class the lady said "Make a space scene". I did this:



I literally painted it and toyed with random effects and the Spherize function. Looked at a few tutorials on 'space' online and pretty much ignored them. Then I spent more time on it and came up with the image I posted previosly. For some reason the Superman theme was in my head as I made the planets so I made the ominous deathstar looking thing, but I was actually thinking about Brainiac - not Star Wars. I felt compelled to give the image some form of hope and added the red/blue blur. Presto.

But I wanted realism. I checked out a few more tutorials and ended up with this:



I liked it, and actually did another that progressed on it but fucking lost it! I did it on a netbook and there is some retarded glitch that doesn't let you save on a resolution under 1024x768 in Photoshop CS5! My res was 1024x600 - so i get the brilliant idea to plug the netbook into the tv as an external monitor and Photoshop crashed! I spent the whole fucking Sunday doing it! FUCKING WASTED!

So I went to bed shitty, watched the Walking Dead, and on Monday started again on the version I finally handed in for Tuesday when it was due. This was the final product:



I ditched the Superman thing. I was trying to have it be it's own entity. Like, the poster o some random movie that was never made. I spent ages on the lighting effect, trying to get it to look right. I'm pretty happy with it - but am forever seeing ways it should improve. I'm over it now though. Done, dusted - NEXT!

Just to add.. This was done with two photo's of bricks and of some broken motherboard for a DVD player or some such shit I found around the house. The planet with the rings around it in version three is actually my mrs' eye





@Probable Muppet - I see exactly what you're saying. I can poop out planets in about 3minutes too now. I am actually studying animation, there's just a design class focussed on Photoshop. I'm loving it! Wait till I start posting movies! Do you use 3DS Max at all as well?

Dittooo. Tho I came into this expecting to see some stuff for sale :\

Mate, I'm a total noob at this. I'll sell stuff when I think it's good though hey? I just assumed this part of the forum was for this type of thing.

But if money can be made...

Naked pictures of my bum are $50. I have some noodles in the cupboard going for $2.50 each plus postage - which is from Australia - so like, $47.50. I am also willing to learn ballet for the entertainment of others but it will cost $10 per every three minutes viewing time where I dance via webcam or YouTube, plus $40 for wearing a tutu in each occasion. Prices are not negotiable. The tutu is negotiable - it can be traded for a Princess Leia gold bikini or blue Dr. Manhatten costume. Closeups of genitalia also incur an added fee of $50. Blow jobs are $10. Paypal only -Unless you offer drugs, then blowjobs and all other prices are negotiable.

So I've also had these little characters and the idea to have them in a comic strip...



So I figure 'Why not make a cartoon?'. Here is a quick little snippet I came up for one of the characters...



Short, I know, but in time.

I for some reason imagine little plush voodoo dolls chained to luncbox's.

My Comic Book

All of it.. My brain is bursting with ideas for it. I'm very excited!
