Frostwhisper's Photoshop Gallery

[frostwhisper]

Although I do not consider Photoshop-edited images real art, as they are edited from other works rather than created from scratch, I'd like to share with you what I've done over the couple of months since I got Photoshop.

Several of these shots have been created as entries for the contests over at Worth1000.com, the site that addicted me to Photoshop in the first place.

Enjoy.

	My first serious work where I learned the basics of layers, blur, color adjustments and so on and so forth. The theme was mixing cartoons with oil paintings.		The Evil Marmot. This one I did mainly for fun, based on an old concept of mine.
	Mainly simple filter work and shape adjustments. Theme was stained glass.		My original stained glass entry, which I never got around to submit.
	Just when good ol' captain Jack was about to have his favorite meal, it decided to have him.		Yes, the WarCraft universe is mixing with reality. I present to you: Outland.
	This piece was my entry for the season-themed contest, got fourth place.		Based on an ancient concept of mine comes the Mexican cactus-guitarist.
	The orc gangsta, a vicious creature which lives in New York.		A wc3-style dryad.
	A chocolate Optimus Prime, RDZ's favorite dessert.

Well, that's it for now. I will update it as soon as I make more.

Cool. Love "The Evil Marmot."

 

[Hawkwing]

Those look awsome, the Jack one isn't.. GREAT.. =\

How did you do your avatar? Or who did? And with what program? Where can I get it, lol.

 

[frostwhisper]

I did them all in Photoshop CS2.
The avatar is just a simple animation put on the face of a troll done by someone else.

If you want I can actually take that elf of yours and give him glowing eyes too.

 

[Hawkwing]

That would be very nice of you but I am fine, I was just wondering how you did it. I have Photoshop 7 and Premiere 5... =(

 

[frostwhisper]

Well I don't think P7 supported animation like this...

And Premiere's for editing movies, not making gifs (I think).

 

[Hawkwing]

Yes Premiere is for movies and Photoshop does not as far as I know.

I was more or less stating that I had bad versions. =(

 

[frostwhisper]

Well PS7 ain't that bad. At school we use PS6 and it's rationally good and close to CS2, so my guess is that PS7 isn't as ancient. But yeah, some of those little tweaks and anims are a cool thing to have.

 

[Hawkwing]

Yes. It is good but I don't have any of the interesting features. I can do skinning with the same tools as everyone else, yet I cannot animate .gif's.

Anyways back to the original topic, your art.

 

[frostwhisper]

Well, I've been making this freehand goblin war thingy for the Concept Art compo. I might post it, though I'm not sure if I'll revise it or keep it as it is...

 

[Hawkwing]

Well I will be looking forward to seeing it.

 

[frostwhisper]

You could check the competition thread, as it is already posted as a (most likely) final submission... ^^

Le Update and double post:
The Mexican Cactus Guitarist is a character I've been itching to make for a long time now. I present him to you today (updated in the first post), along with the sources I've used to make 'em.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Pretty cool rendering. The cactus is my fav.

I love weird art.

Yes Premiere is for movies and Photoshop does not as far as I know.

I was more or less stating that I had bad versions. =(

As far as I know, Photoshop 1-CS2 didn't support creation of animations. There is a tool called "Adobe Image Ready" and you would export between the two tools for animation. I personally, hated it because both would take forever to export to and they would take even longer to load.

That's why Photoshop Cs3 owns because it has a built-in animation window. And you can do "File > Save for Web Devices" to modify the options of the .gif.

 

[frostwhisper]

CS2 has that also. But yeah, if you want to save the animation as something else than a .gif (like a macromedia flash file) you need to export it to ImageReady.

 

[Gilles]

That's some pretty rad stuff there frosty. I quite like the cactus. Also outland.

 

[frostwhisper]

UPDATE: An orc gangsta has joined the first post. 'Nuff said.

 

[NatDis]

I liked the Marmot. Looks like a gangster boss.

The Mexican Cactus Guitarist has only 2 issues -
1) While it's body, head and all look nice and quite realistic, it's hands, especially the right one, don't. Anyone could easily catch that the hands are pasted on top whereas they might be flummoxed by the "realistic" look of the rest. Even I caught it as unrealistic just because I knew that cacti don't have moustaches and guitars.
2) It's nose is too unrealistic.

In case of the orc, I suggest you use whitish teeth instead of black, from the small thumbnail I though that all you had done was paint someone green.

 

[THE_END]

And frost you also left out an important thing on the orc-ski
EARZZZ!

 

[frostwhisper]

His helmet is supposed to be covering them...

 

[frostwhisper]

Here's an update with a picture of a wc3-style dryad.
Worked on her for a couple of hours, yesterday.

You did the melding just perfect. Great job.

Although, the gangsta one was the best. Also, what were the origanal pics for the gangsta one?

 

[frostwhisper]

Well, I can't really find the links for them, but the head, cap, body and wolf all came from different sources.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

What program u used to make your avatars eyes glow?

 

[frostwhisper]

Same as the others. PS CS2.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Oh I have it too, but never knew you can do that kind of things with it also
Oh yeah.. Insane looking work you got here

 

[frostwhisper]

You can, using the animation features. And thanks.

 

[Lucifero]

the last, the ...hmmm...what's name...DRYAD you made all from 0?????

 

[frostwhisper]

Nope. I used a naked woman, a deer (which I recolored), some doodles, eye glowage, different leaf pictures for the hair, and the environment (again, recolored) from all different sources.

 

[Lucifero]

ah wow very good you made a very good fusion of the things
maybe you had to work better on the left hear cuz with some little shadows for show that it come from the downside of the leafs

 

[frostwhisper]

I kinda rushed the hair and ears area, I admit.

 

[Lucifero]

ah ok^^

 

[frostwhisper]

Well, this is some stuff I've been working on.

A chocolate Optimus Prime. Yum.


And also, I've been practicing drawing scratch-made hair in PS. Not so good, but it's my first try.

 

[EmawWyvern]

Who doesn't love night elf porn XD (directed at the dryad) anyways nice work.

 

[frostwhisper]

I have officially made a smiley!
And shall spam it.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

What is it?
Octopus with beer bottle?
I watch too much tentacle hentai..

 

[frostwhisper]

It's my troll character... and a beer bottle.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Oh yeah... Hard to notice what that little blue thing was

 

[LiOneSS]

use softer brushes for the hair, gj for now..

 

[frostwhisper]

Aye, still practicin'

 

[bjartmar]
