The result from the Dvd no,2 (yeh, i know i'm not finish yet dvd 1). But its ok..will did all this done later on :)

Gorgeous Girl -

and this is after..

when i see all type of this kind of image, (they called it pop art ) is very difficult to master by me (because im rarely using illustrator and i hate using it..). when i see any vector image like this..my mind said ..this done by illustrator...and illustrator.. boy, i was wrong actually. this skill is very simple ever. And i can do it using photoshop.

Dream scene montage

noreply@blogger.com (Zaizen Goro) — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 13:36:00 +0000

Helo guys,

Sorry a bit late for the 3rd tut on pts 40 days challenge. Ok, today i will show u my dream scene montage that i using a different image and some additional technique to make the graphics look better.

I using image from -

http://www.desert-voice.net/Desert_View_1.jpg - desert

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/handx/lion_o.jpg - lion

Another image - 2 different tower building and 2 wings i got from Dvd's that already cropped.

I choose a lion as my main object (replace for elephant)..i think this is my best tut so far with combination 2 lion,..but, if u can see that the desert original image is a quite blur especially on sky part and it give effects on the final image..its ok..this is my first attempt.

This is the final

Stone potret

noreply@blogger.com (Zaizen Goro) — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 07:14:00 +0000

2nd gallery..i choose to pick up stone potret for 2nd day challenge. Its a bit smaller..just click the both image for the best view.

Allright, if u see i choose an image from WWF star- Stone cold steve austin..hoop! (steve, if u read this..pls dont hit me, i just here to practice my skill.). I'm a huge fan of 316 when im around age 15-17 if want to know.. :) . I stick to bald guy like example on the tut because it was a first time to me do it. Ok, i will transform stone cold image to stone potrait.

If u see, it was funny because i using dodge burn effect for the austin beard. ..look so white. actually, i want to removed it..but after thinking twice,its better just let it on the face.

First tut - Dream skin

noreply@blogger.com (Zaizen Goro) — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 15:06:00 +0000

I'm not using the same image from the tut. I try to used another image, so u guys can see the different before i makeover the image and after makeover.

Overall it takes me 2 hours to do all this..its quite cool tho to learn some of new technique that i never used..i'm not know to much how to using the layer mask tools ..channel mix..etc befored. Now i know it and i really enjoy to used it again on another tut. :)

This is another one my trial..for this i'm not using a gold texture..for ur info, i'm using all my own setting size for all this tut because my image is a bit smaller compare the real tut..

My PTS training course arrived yesterday..
