Word Art
This is the first type I did when we were learning how to warp the words into shapes such as the arc and the fish shapes shown in the image. Not to hard of an assignment but it was nice being able to pick out a cool/meaningful quote.

Animation
This is the gif I produced when using photoshop. I'm not used to the paint that is used in photoshop so I eventually gave up on the idea I had and made a basic stick figure. Maybe once I learn to use a mouse I'll be able to make a better sprite to be used with my animation. In any case, I had fun figuring out how to use my original drawing to create new pictures and finally animating it.

Number Sandler
This picture is a distortion of a picture of Adam Sandler, for the Barbie Doll Project. I had a little trouble with the warping as it did not seem to do what I wanted it to do but I was able to give his head the football shape of the character I wanted him to look like. That would be Number One (Nigel) of the popular TV Cartoon Codename: Kids Next Door. After I warped the image and removed Adam's hair, I gave him Number One's sunglasses to finish up the Nigel appearance.

Blemish Girl (Photo Retouching)
This was a picture of a girl who had some acne and freckle that to some may haven't looked the prettiest. So using photo retouching, I was able to remove them and make her skin look a lot smoother, as well as touching up her eyes a bit. This came out a lot better than I expected because I had a few problems during creation where you could tell where I had tried to do some touching up but I fixed those and the picture still came out looking nice.
Plane Splat
This is the picture I created for my paint splat project. The photo of small passenger jet with its wings turning to liquid and flying off behind it. The art could've been a bit better but I am new to photoshop still and I'm proud of the way it came out. I took the color from the wings and made the splats that color but left some of the black that was in there from switching them from color to grayscale. The splats may have looked a little better but you can still tell that the wings are falling apart.

Newimals
This is my newimal, a combination of a wolf (the head) and a raccoon (the body). You can see a normal raccoon in the bottom of the picture, compared with the raccoon wolf creature in the top. The raccoon wolf blend was a bit difficult to create as the original wolf pic had the lighting coming from the opposite side. I had to try and darken the muzzle and make it look as if he was still being hit by light and it turned out okay. The combination of the fur at the base of the neck was the hardest to make look natural, as I barely have any experience with photoshop. However, it came out very nicely, and I am happy with the work that I ended up with.

Splatter Kitty
I thought this tutorial was quite funny, but I had no idea which splatter we were supposed to use for our picture. In any case, I thought the cat was very cute and I like cats so I chose to use it in my picture. The paint appears to be coming from the cats paw, although in the tutorial the elephant's trunk was enveloped in the paint. Even though it may not be perfect, I had fun with this and am looking forward to creating a newimal.
