2:Gandalf the Woof

Some Photoplasty using a picture of a dog uploaded on Facebook entitled "Gandalf the Gray"

I took it a step further and pasted the dogs face over Gandalfs, for fun.

2:Blood splatter BG

Using a picture of my wall, I created this high contrast blood splatter that I will probably use as a background or texture in a future project. I used the red alpha channel (best contrast) to get a really solid selection of the splatter. Cleaned it up with a brush and some layer adjustments.

Its not actual blood on my wall, its just paint =)

2:Reticle

The result of playing around with a scope reticle on Photoshop. Using the pen tool i created the paths and used a fill for the red cross, and a stroke for the lines.

Image of the tent comes from www.cgtextures.com

2:Glowing Text Wallpaper

My own take on a tutorial from planetphotoshop. I made a wallpaper for my friend, Marcus using a theme I think he would like. It was really fun making and really opened up my eyes to a whole new way to be creative on Photoshop. Cant wait to see what I can come up with from what I learned here.

Bonus: I decided to use the 3d functions of Photoshop Extended and moved the text plane and little and zoomed it closer. Pretty neat

1:Detroit Pizza Co

Here is one of the few logo designs I created using Illustrator. Not sure how I feel about it.

1:Infinity

Using Photoshop, I created a little image using a new favorite type of mine called Prophet.

Thanks go to Laith Naser for the typeface.

In this version of Prophet, it is not quite finished yet.

1:Loves Me Not

Using Illustrator, I made a petal and the center. Added the script to the petal, then I transferred them to Photoshop where I duplicated enough copies of the petals and arranged everything. Added a gradient to the center as a final touch in Photoshop

1:Pyro

I used to like playing with fire. I wanted to create something in photoshop really quick, so this is the result. I might revisit it later and make it more convincing by adding some singing at the finger tips and reshaping/transforming the flames.
