Looking for resources around the web, I visited you know who for searches. As I keyed in WEIRD, PHOTOSHOP on Google, these links popped out. I can't help but be curious. I found a three legged man (The more the better?), a model with a hidden secret (tail? manliness?! GASP!), a creepy hand on an otherwise good photo, a mutated girl that looks like she's really hungry and an overly sexy, I repeat OVERLY, EXAGGERATED sexy model. Blunders, Yes. Funny?, HELL YEAH!  But these blunders help to remind me that such blunders, no matter how inconspicuous they may be for a fledgling graphic artist like me, self checking is the key for great images and artworks. Is this too bright? Dark? Does it blend? Are my fonts good? Does the render fit the background? Does the background compliment the render? Am I overexaggerating this? Is this crap? Can I X-ray this?! (see previous post). These are basically some few questions you should ask yourselves before hitting the save button, well maybe not the last one.

 After my first real take at doing large Pieces (LP's), I tried doing another piece and used my newly acquired skill! REFLECTION!! 

 I used a Domo render from Planetrenders, tree brushes and roman's abstract brushes found on Deviant Art.

  Made this a while back, this was my first  LP (Large Piece).I spent a few hours tinkering with my Adobe Photoshop  CS4 until I was sure that it turned out good. 

    I used a few tree brushes and mediamilitia's lighting brushes for this piece which was originally intended to be a black and white landscape. Until now this piece is still untitled, I named the file MASTERPIECE out of  excitement and knowing that I made a good piece at last.. HAHAHA.. 

   It turns out that I was still just a novice after all my sleepless hours spent on this project. Back to the woodshed for me...
