Phreaking Phun with Photoshop

Just practicing with the color replacement tool... it's pretty entertaining. The red one is the original pic...

New Art

But this is it for a week, since my scanner is leaving (Yeah, my dad is going back 2 China and no one else knows how to work the scanner, currently.)

The theme of my week is butterflies, only one pic i have now doesn't have butterflies. Also the theme is taking innocent things and making them violent. Only one pic i have now is non-violent.




















I drew this one for a friend whom we all know very well... Butterfly, please notice, and no violence. ... Pencil. Darkened in Photoshop. Scanner killed it sorta ... scanner, you murderer!
























There is a song called "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by the Smashing Pumpkins... anyone? No? Well, it inspired 2 of these pictures. This is the second. Violence, and butterflies! Photoshop.

















I've been wanting to do this for a long time now. Either you get it or you don't. (My family doesn't get it). No butterflies, but some violence! Outlined in Sharpie, colored in Photoshop. Easiest pic to color... ever.























And finally, this one needs an explanation. I was listening to "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" when i drew this (he's dropping bullets that turn into butterflies...) But then, i only had the head down. And it looked a little like Alucard (Hellsing fans, anyone?... I'm done with manga for the summer, i promise). Then there is this Chinese philosopher named ZhuangZi, and he was like "Did the man dream he was a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream he was a man?" And this is supposed to be him, but in a crazy, maniacal, gunman form... I sat down, wanting to draw something nice, but then WHAM this came out. ... No more murder mysteries for me. Butterflies and violence!
Pencil. Scanner killed my shading :[ But please look at the closeup, it's better looking.

Oh my freaking lollipops gosh

This is the cast/crew of my story, Mental, i think everyone here has read it? Yes? KK, i've given up and given everyone a gender... um, but that's not necessarily true in the story. the middle person is not colored on purpose, or maybe cause i just gave up... The actual colored pencil coloring is better, so i'll put the pencil sketch on here too. And the title is because this took such a long time to color and is an astoundingly great example of bad coloring. [Right, and those waiting for pt 11 of my story are not getting it... i'm editing pt 1-10 before this gets out of hand.]

AND SEND IN YOUR ARTIST SEALS PLZ!! THINK OF AN IDEA QUICKLY BEFORE SUMMER IS OVER AND I DON'T HAVE 4 HOURS A DAY TO DRAW!!
[Why are my posts so long and everyone else's so short? Oh well, i'm the Admin, i can do wat i want :P]
Guess who is who! (I like Doubt, he's cool)

Photoshop for color. ALL OF THE COLOR [>.<]

Classic Rock... not the way you do it

I was bored, and reading one of my old poems, and i mentioned plugging a piano into a giant amp so my neighbors could hear me too... and voila. Working on another pic, it's coming.

(It's not a small piano, it's just a big amp) (I can't draw pianos)
