self portrait

I also work with Gimp for the fun of it so i figure i might as well load up the images i do for fun when I cant access Photoshop. This is a self portrait that I made for my deviant art avatar (that sounds so dorky) but for those who don't know deviant art is basically an art sharing site where you can load up the work you do and others can view it and comment on it.... hmmm now that i think about that sounds just like this.... but its kinda different. In this image i basically just used a bunch of features under the colour tab and added a gradient background, some lighting a bit of colour here and there...the photo was one i found on my computer that i took a short while ago

you might need this

I guess it would help to see the original image too ( see below) so here it is... the flamingo at the zoo

Electric Bird

So here it is the first official out of class assignment. Using a picture that we have taken , we must render it with contrasting colour, work with layers etc etc... This past summer i went to the zoo for the millionth time ( i really only go to see the baby monkeys, the giraffes and the elephants... okay maybe the hippo too) and i came upon these amazingly bright pink flamingos that were posing so nicely for my camera. So i turned this beautiful flamingo into this bright exotic night bird. I added in some grasses that appear to glow as well ( filters are great!) and it makes it look like this bird is putting electricity into everything that touches the water...how fun!

Stardust Reduced

This again is the same...or i guess similar image as above but it has been reduced to 3" X 3" and then cropped to focus on a smaller part of the image and has a resolution of 300

Stardust Again

This is the exact same image as above. The only difference is that the resolution has been changed from 300 to 72 dpi which is used for the web.

Stardust

This is the first of three images done in class today. the assignment was to basically play around with the dimensions of the image you created. I made this abstract image of what turned out to look like cut up stars overlapping each other. I added some black lines to give a Mondrian kind of look ( if i spelled that right). this image is 6" X 6" with as resolution of 300 I think it looks like something from a story book :)

desert fish

This is my first assignment in Computer art. The main idea was to put two images together to creating something fun. ( however I added one extra image ... the crab... to make it a little more fun). I used text to create the bubbles and made the fish pink instead of orange because I thought it looked more exciting. I love having opposites together like the desert and a gold fish... or in this case a hot pink fish!
