"Self-Trained" - This is tweeked with Photoshop; splicing 2 images together.
Memorable April 6th - A Special Tribute to my wedding day.
Political Piece - This work is a union between Illustrator and Poser 7. The adult, child, and globe were setup in Poser 7. I brought them over to Illustrator and live traced them, allowing up to 6 colors. The additional pieces to the globe were created in Illustrator. The vague constitution in the background is a borrowed piece, which I also live traced. If you notice closely, there are some selections from certain amendments in the background.
... and Dark Side - Where to begin? Well, this picture was nearly bare, until I added: The guy holding the lightsaber, The machine exploding in the background, The blurred blast emission from the gun's nozzle, The force field deflecting the shot, The sun flare depicting the impact of the shot, & The lighting positions to get the shadows right This piece was made with Poser 7 and Photoshop. I did this as part of a larger piece.
Hulk 3000 (add on) - This piece was put together via Poser 7 and Photoshop. The building was a prop given to me by another. I brought over the Hulk character (created for the movie poster), adjusted the lighten and brought the scene into Photoshop, where I added the smoke and dust effect. I also used the smudge tool to give the block-ish rubble more of a broken-and-chipped granite feel.
Effect meant to divert focus - A Photoshop-ed picture of my wife on our wedding day.
Table Talk - Just another random piece I threw together displaying me working with my thoughts.
Fun times with Photoshop - Can you figure out the one I touched up in Photoshop utilizing a logo created in Illustrator?
Kool Kat - The image comes from a picture I took of my son wearing my hat. "Kool Kat" was the nickname I gave him, and this final piece was imprinted on a sweatshirt I now own. This piece was created entirely in Photoshop.
The Light Side... - This was part of a larger project. I inserted the saber fighter into a military pic. I also added the fire and forcefield deflecting it. I added glow and flare effects for the lightsaber, deflected shot. The lighting was "fun" to get right. Note: Don't ever take lighting and positioning lightly.
