PS watercolor scenery II

Trying to make custom watercolor brushes.. Finally, I sorta did it.. Yeah~!
Now then~!! Trying out the new watercolor effect brush~!!



Tada~! Random digital painting.. Took about 5-6 hours.. I know this is not the best..I can't paint very well.. No references.. However I'm sure it's better than THIS PREVIOUS PIECE Click Here~! It's fun blending with different colors. This is the original color. Size: 2024 x 1518 px..



Yah... I still can't get use to soft colors shading .. so, change it with selective color option then blur it hehe..

Lennon..

Just a random image.. my OC character.. Actually, I'm messing around with the opacity and flow.. I wanted to try out watercolor effect painting something like that.. but I still fail..


A digital sketch.. Yup.. He is a fox. Not a cat.. meow.. Trying to sketch without guide line is strange..
1. I notice there are some mistakes so I erased some part and sketch again..
2. You can see I've made some changes..


Didn't bother to do lineart.. Trying to paint in low opacity and flow.. This is the original color..



After that, I start to go nuts again with the blending options using selective color option and color balance again.. plus, add in some textures too..


Try out changing the image with channel mixer.. I notice his left ear seems as if it's missing.. XD


Last and final.. It ended up like this.. I really love how it turns out. Even though his hair colors seem to blending in with the bg color..

New Junk..

Wow.. when is the last time I upload and drawings or sketches? Let me see.. Hmm.. 5/11/09 that's like 2 months ago.. XP Finally, I can post drawings.


Just finish my so call re-coloring piece in ps.. (wait so long haven't reboot.. don't care already.. I'll just install first.. later then reinstall after he reboots..)

The sketch was done around late June (bro fix the computer.. well, not exactly.. the computer still restart by itself or hang once awhile..)

Lineart drawn with Opencanvas..


Left: Comparing the difference..
Just done in late June.. Colored with OC.. I'm not very good with OC.. This is the best I can do..

Right: This is the recolored piece.. Sort add on coloring actually.. I'm more comfortable with ps.. hehehe.. I'm still not very satisfied with the simple background.. looks so simple..


and so.. SEE... I went crazy again with background and foreground.. From skintone, clothing to background.. Changing colors, hues and so on.. Adding layers and layers of textures.. (seems like I prefer heavy texture.. )


The final piece..
Original size: 1500x1500 pixels.


Lastly, what I'll always do: flatten all layers. Then duplicate new layer. Next, Gaussian Blur the image.. set to: softlight mode. Re-duplicate the second layer then change the Opacity to 30% (depends..) and set the layer to screen mode.. Voila~! It's done.. XD

Yes~!!! I can finally post an entry..

Yes~!!! I can finally post an entry..

It's already happened yesterday.. the New Post lookin so strange.. I don't know what is wrong with my post entries... Where is the edit mode, compose mode and the rest of the icons gone too?!!!

No matter how I click save or the post options links.. ALL NOT FUNCTIONING~!! I can't save or publish any post.. The status bar will show a Error on page.
Ehhh.. Just now still can publish and save leh... Why like this?? (very puzzled.) I've tried deleting cache and everything..

However, it's still no use..
Not sure if it's the IE problem.. Headache arh.. What to do?!!


Dunno why it ended up like this?!

Edit: After looking around the Blogger help section I realize I'm not the only one facing this issue.. now the issue is solved. (I hope..)

Boohooo....

Just opened my e-mail.. and I just saw an important notice from Yahoo Geocities.. GeoCities is closing!!! 怎么会这样啊! They will be closing on October 26, 2009. Less than 3 months time..

What~!!! Noo~!!!

Meaning: My first time made crappy website (my playground) hosted at Geocities: A Simple Yume which has been around for 4 years will no longer appear or exist on web anymore~! All my efforts gone to waste.. Spent so many days/weeks/months just trying to make a simple website.. took me sometime trying to thinking of a crappy website name leh.. ToT I was attach it for so long.. Now no more... That was my first time ever to showing my drawings on the internet.. now will vanish forever~!! Pardon me for my swah-koo-ness. cough.. XP
It took me lots of courage to show my ugly drawings to the world..I've no confidence..



Now.. I have to find a new web hosting site to post my drawings online before October 26, 2009... Siao liao.. also must change all the links and some watermarkings..

A Simple Yume website will forever live in my heart/mind.. (Dumb thoughts..)

Oh well... What can I do... Hmmm.... (scratch head)

I've to start diggin' all the old drawings out from my website and from my saved files too...
