Couch Trolltato

This piece is something I just put together. But since I thought of the idea of a couch potato, this is what came to mind. I like this piece, because it was simple to put together and I just had to edit a couple of things.

Face Hero

1. This mini movie took a bit of time to complete, it's not well drawn, but I tried to make as lenghty as possible, I think it turned out pretty good in my honest opinion.

2. I feel pretty successful about this piece, because I put a lot of time into making it sync up with what I wanted to happen.

3. The motions worked out pretty well, since each scene was different in some way, I had to make it look fluid. Some scenes look as if they didn't have much effort put into them.

4. I would learn to draw better and have sounds in it.

5. Having the focus to redraw each part to make it look like an actual motion instead of making it look like it like they defy the laws of gravity.

6. I learned how to effectively use the onion layer, it really helped.

10 Unbelieveable School Ideas

1. Have the school perched on a tree branch, theough the school would look a bit off, give it a look to make it seem like it's growing out of the wood in which it is sitting upon. 2. The school is placed on the moon, give it a futuristic look so it can be somewhat believeveable, such as a giant glass dome surrounding the campus. 3. A school placed on a large cloud, the cloud would have a misty look to it. Since it is in a cloud have sun light breakig through certain points, to give it a similar look to what a cloud would look like. 4. Have a school sitting in the palm of an individual, make the ridges of the persons hand look as though they are enclosing the school to give it a sense of entertainment. 5. A school placed precariously on a mountain top, the school is leaning to the side slightly. Pieces of rubble are falling from the schools bottem to make it seem as though the school was taken from its original setting and placed in the mountain tip without a care. 6. Have a school swirling in a tornado, have random objects swirling around the school to give the impression that this a massive tornado and is having an effect on the area around it. 7. The school is placed in a rain drop hitting the ground at the right moment, making it look like the school is splashing like a rain drop would when it hit the ground. 8. A classroom filled with water, objects would be floating around and some would be buoyant and floating to the surface. the desks would remain on the floor though, giving the idea of a carefree world where anything can happen. 9. A student would be opening their desk to get something required for classwork, instead of school supplies though, they would be opening the door to a completely different world, such as beams of light shooting forth or something crawling out of the desk, like some sort of creature from another dimension etc. 10. An apple placed in the teachers desk with a bit taken out of it, the apple would be zoomed close up, the bite mark would have something like another classroom or an indistrialized town inside it, just ot throw the viewer off.

3D images

1. I believe that these pictures, though devoid of some detail, look pretty good.

2. I feel pretty successful about these pictures, they look interesting and catch the eye.

3. The way the shapes spread around the object, is cery interesting. Though they seem pretty even, the pictures could have been tended to a bit more than they already are.

4. I would take more time in choosing objects that were all in a certain theme, and stick with that.

5. Getting the picture to not look like crap to be honest, though i had to go through several shapes it was worth it.

6. I learned how to use the 3D tool in photoshop, though still a novice, I look forward to using it in the future.

Old Apex

Just a tutorial I found.

Game Project 2

Game Project 1

1. This piece looks pretty cool, a couple of minor details are in it.

2. The piece was successful because it was meant to look like an old arcade game.

3. The project turned out better than expected, the lighting makes it look cool, yet some areas are off balance such as the "Lives" down in the corner.

4. I would try to align the drawings up better, they just seem off.

5. Getting it to not look so cheesey. It still looks cheesey, but not as bad as I thought.

6. How to abuse the lens flare option.

Music Project

1.This piece is kind of sloppy to be honest, could have done better.
2. It worked in several ways, got the correct stamp, and the color waves look nice.
3. The note brush worked fairly well, it looks off in most areas.
4. I would add more detail into the picture, make it a bit more entertaining to look at.
5. Getting the picture stamp to match up with the background, though it looks cool, I would put more color into it.
6. I learned how to expand and make realistic objects into 2D stamps.

Failed Grunge Subway

Brush Tutorial: Lego Monkey

1. This piece looks pretty cool, couldn't think of anyone else to turn into text so I picked the Joker.
2. I thought this piece was pretty successful, it's not uncommon, but still looks pretty cool.
3. The way the text lined up was pretty nice. Though It still seems a bit too dark when your looking at it up close.
4. I might choose a different picture of the Joker, one that doesn't have so much darkness in it.
5. Getting the picture to stand from the rest of the black surrounding the picture.
6. I learned how to turn photos into text portraits, which I think is pretty amazing.

Speech

Character from Matt McLean on Vimeo.

1. In short it's a short rough idea of what I tried to do, the lip sync worked well
2. I guess it was pretty successful, though it doesn't look as good as some of the others people have made. Haven't used the mic, so the voice could sound better.
3. The voice worked the way I wanted it too. The mouth motions look a litle off.
4. I would take more time in drawing the surrounding area and character looks.
5. The most difficult part was haveing the mouth sync up with the words.
6. How to place voice recordings in an animation.

Eye Color Change

Character Faces

1. Looks pretty cool.
2. Made it look like a realistic drawing.
3. The filter worked fine, couldn't really put to many colors in from doing this though.
4. I would add more details, not just make it black and white.
5. Getting it to look even rather than to dark or light.
6. You can make any picture look awesome with a few moments of your time.

Clones

1. It's an odd piece, that much is for sure.
2. I feel that I could have worked a little more on this, it does look a bit rough since I'm getting back into the swing of things with photo shop.
3. The pictures worked relatively well with each other, yet the frames overlap each other.
4. If I were to do this project again, I would make it crisper and easier to look at.
5. The most difficult about this project was getting the frames to line up without making it look to off sides.
6. How to put multiple pictures in the same picture without making it look poor.
