    My New Project

    Okay I don't normally post about projects before they're done, but I am super-stoked about this. Its no secret here that I love transforming people into supernatural/superhero characters, but I've just confirmed a shoot coming up in Jan next year which I have been wanting to do for years. This...

    Are You Inked?

    This is my one tatt, but I have ideas for a few more I want to get. For those unfamiliar with it, its called The Southern Cross. A lot of people have this tatt, but not in the way I do. Most are dull blue. For me, the cross represents standing up for freedom and your rights, and black and...

    PS For Forensics

    In the last few months I've become interested in forensic digital imaging. I got this ebook called Photoshop CS3 for Forensic Professionals. Sure, the version is old, but the principals are still valid for CS6. Really interesting info on how to clean up images, and a look at PS from quite a...

    Elysium/Team America

    I really disliked this film for the not-so-subtle propaganda, but as I was watching it, Team America came to mind, so I slapped this together just for a laugh.

    Eye Candy

    While I'm generally not a fan of filters outside of the default PS features as they can leave a gap in your skills if they become corrupted, or you're using a copy of PS without them installed and you haven't bothered to learn to create the effect manually, there are some effects which can only...

    The Best Photoshop Resources

    While I am a formally educated graphic designer, most of what I know didn't come from school. Design schools teach you things such as layout, composition, and industry related stuff, but they don't teach you much about common effects, and how to achieve unusual looks a client may want. Most of...

    Fire Sprite

    This is an X-Men universe character I made up. Took a bit of playing around with blend modes to get the skin right, but I think I'll put in a developed background. I made this as a promo for a fictional X-Men tv series. Model is Jessica Truscott, and the image is from faestock.deviantart.com.

    Dexter Promo Wallpaper

    I made this because I was checking out when the next season of Dexter is starting. Only 3 months. I made a masking mistake with the edges of the blade, and realised too late. Thats why it is slightly jagged.
