=== JAY'S (fivedrinksin) GRAPHICS === Note to Mods: If you don't mind, please keep this thread open. Rather than spamming the graphics boards, I'd like to just update this post with anything new that I have. Thanks! My apologies in advance - this post might load a little slowly. I'll try not to slow the page down *too* much and just put up links to my bigger works. I use photoshop 7.0, by the way. Also, you'll probably notice that I do a bunch of random stuff, and try not to stick to just one or two types of graphics. Graphic/web design is actually a field I'm looking to get into to make a living, so I enjoy trying out a variety of different styles. Any and all constructive criticism is much appreciated! === UPDATES === 11.5.07: Added two sig/av sets, a web layout, and a blend. 9.15.07: Added three web layouts, a photomanip and a misc. item. 9.9.07: Added a blend, two misc. items and a web layout. === USERBARS === These are all made from my own personal interests and such. === AVATARS AND SIGNATURES === Master Chief from the Halo series of video games. The oh-so-elusive cake from Portal. I had a lot of trouble with the border for some reason. It's all icky. ): Just a simple sig made for the latest song I'm obsessing over. Lyrics are from Ben's Brother's "Stuttering." Link from the Zelda series of video games. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/linksig.png The assassin from - rumor has it, Diablo III - but I'll just say Diablo II: Lord of Destruction (Erythe is my assassin's name). http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/assassinsig.png === TABLET STUFF === I'm not so great at using my tablet yet, but I'm learning. Beware the groove The old guy from The Emperor's New Groove. I traced/colored him. =D Wtf? ^^ Doodle of myself, SD/chibi-style Return of Happymonk A little guy I drew for my friend who moved away (it's an inside joke). http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/happymonk_wm.jpg How the west was won A work-in-progress single-frame comic of mine. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/west_wm.jpg Sorry 'bout the watermarks on those; I'm a little wary of people stealing my hand-drawn stuff. === BLENDS AND SUCH === Close the world A blend featuring Lain, the main character of Serial Experiments Lain (an anime series). http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/closetheworld.png It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual Bowling for Soup - one of my old MySpace layouts. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/layimg.png Dance like nobody's watching A blend made for my current MySpace layout. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/MS Layout/dance.jpg Maxim's hottest woman Lindsay Lohan; saw these in Maxim and had to use 'em. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/lohan.jpg Breathe Lyrics from Skillet's "Rebirthing." http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/rebirthing.jpg === PHOTO MANIPULATION === Beauty in the breakdown A dark manip using a picture of myself; lyrics are from Frou Frou's "Let Go." http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/breakdown.jpg We are the massive This one's my favorite photomanip ever; It's based on this excerpt from the "Raver's Manifesto": We were first drawn by the sound. From far away, the thunderous, muffled, echoing beat was comparable to a mother's heart soothing a child in her womb of concrete, steel, and electrical wiring. We were drawn back into this womb, and there, in the heat, dampness, and darkness of it, we came to accept that we are all equal. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/raversmanifesto.jpg Where are you now? I don't know why this one took me so long... Guess I kept getting distracted. I really love it though. Lyrics are from Nightcore's "Where Are You Now?" http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/whereareyou.png === WEB DESIGN === These will all be screen captures, because I don't want people taking my layouts. Please disregard the empty space on the side; I use a huge, widescreen resolution. Sorry, haha. My current Neopets userlookup. A guild website layout that i made for A Haystack. My old Neopets userlookup. My current Neopets shop layout. The MySpace layout I made for my boyfriend. I almost want it for myself. xD === MISCELLANEOUS === Apple glowsticks (parody) for kandiriffic jungle bunnies everywhere... apple's new line of glowsticks: iRave. =D http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/irave.png Peace, love, unity, and respect i did this mainly to try out text effects. nothing special. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/PLUR.jpg Illusen nothing special - just some random little thing i made while following a tutorial. How to bake a healthy cookie (flash video) a project i did for my web design class a few years ago. note that this was made in macromedia flash, not photoshop. it's not great or anything, but i'm proud of it 'cause i hand-drew all the graphics with a mouse... and drawing in flash is not easy. heck, ANIMATING in flash is not easy. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/fivedrinksin/GFX/movie.swf
Re: My Photoshop Work thanks! i like it, too. that part has to be my favorite one out of the entire movie, just... the way he says the line and everything. =D
Re: My Photoshop Work wow, i love these, i really like the halo one, not just because halos awesome, it also has great effects and the bg is really nice and the beware the groove one is really nice and at first i didnt even know that you traced it, i thought it was the original guy taken right out of the movie thats how good it is
Re: My Photoshop Work Wow, I LOVE your stuff... you've certainly got a talent. Graphic design is what I hope to get into as a profession, also. I'm majoring in it right now in college, so you and I have that in common. Anyway, nice work!
Re: My Photoshop Work yep yep... halo's pretty awesome. the images are probably my favorite things to photoshop, i dunno why. thank you for the kind comments, as well - it's nice to know what other people think and have to say. i really appreciate it. :funky: thanks very much! photoshop is just kind of a hobby i have on the side, so i never really think of myself as having any talent with it. if you don't mind me asking, what college are you going to? i'm still kind of looking around for a decent art/design school that i can go to after i get a 2-year degree at the community college where i live. any suggestions? haha. :maha:
