My Photoshop Creations and Manipulations - A Collection

 I have been using Adobe Photoshop for a long time, probably since I was 12. The first work of art I created was a portrait of Harry Potter using Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Since then I've been using it for small edits and manipulations, but I really got into it in my college days, discovering techniques such as layer masking and blending, among others. 

Here I present a showcase of my modest works:


Photo Manipulations:

When you lose yourself to the music - Tried the dispersion effect here on a friend who is a DJ.

Color Splash - Dispersion on a bouncy ball.

Losing my hair 

My last selfie before Thanos's snap

The Double Exposure effect - superimposition of the silhouette of a bird over a sunset

The man himself, peeking from behind some words written about him. This page belongs to a book called 'The Apple Revolution' by Luke Dormehl. Highly recommended to anyone wishing to know about Apple and the cultural milieu in its early days.

Nature's pages

Clockwork - a man and a city

My very first try at double exposure


The world inside is as vast as it is on the outside

Album art designed for the DJ in the first picture.


Portraits:

 

Portraits of my parents, made using the words 'Mother' and 'Father' in different languages



My very first digital portrait

Vector portrait of a friend

Portrait of Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes

Self portrait

Portrait of Hermione Granger from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Portrait of Anna Faris. Hers was one of the first vector portraits I made.


Low poly portrait of Heath Ledger as The Joker

Vector portrait of a friend made using Adobe Illustrator. I consider this my personal best :D


Other original works:
One of the many Micheal Jackson moves I tried to emulate in my teenage years.





Another album art for some relaxing music

Product of a wild imagination

Going crazy with a newfound skill.


That is all for now. Looking back at all these, it reminds me of a time when I would marvel at such digitally created pictures and portraits. Though I still have much to learn, I feel happy to have got this far, and it only motivates me to go further.

Until next time.

Harry Potter Crafts #1: Advanced Potion Making by Libatius Borage (Hogwarts Potionbook)

While my mates and colleagues are all doing something or the other to help them get a job three years from now (or even before that, depending on the person concerned) (FYI, I'm in the first year of my Bachelor's programme as I write this post), I have been whiling my time away doing unproductive work (which effectively means that I'm doing nothing). They are building their skill sets so their resume gets laden with attractive features while I am still figuring out how to make a resume. So, these holidays, the least I could do was to complete my unfinished works if I was not going to start anything new. One of these works was a handwritten manuscript of Hogwarts potion-book "Advanced Potion Making" which Harry and friends use in their sixth year of schooling. I was always fascinated with the potions depicted in the books and movies and as a child, I used to pray for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to be real. Of course, I eventually realised that...

So this is what being down feels like.

So this is what being down feels like. Writing something and just to save yourself from having to think much about the title, putting the first line up as the title to the whole piece. Sitting on your bed with lots of things to do but no desire to do them. What once seemed pretty interesting and a productive way of spending time has lost its spark now. Things that could keep you going for hours on end now ignite a flicker of interest inside you that dies within a moment and you go back to sitting in bed and wondering if you should do anything or just lie down. Deciding every day to write something and even getting ideas, but failing to put them into words just because you lose interest by the time you switch your computer on. Even if you do switch it on and open Microsoft word and write a line that occurred to you while you were riding down the road, you cannot carry on further because the part of your mind that supplies ideas has run out of stock. Apparently, it works on...
A Serendipity for Godric I was rummaging around some of my old stuff just now, looking to clear up some space and discard useless junk, when I found a certain something that, I embarrassingly admit, I had forgotten about. This certain something was a eulogy written for me by my friend who goes by the pseudonym Godric Gandalf Dumbledore. He wrote this back when I was in XII standard which means, roughly a year and a half ago. I won't divulge his real name here. I apologize to him for forgetting about this eulogy. When he gave it to me on our farewell, and I read it when I got home, I thought of writing something similar and giving it to him but due to some or the other reason, I couldn't. When I read it today, I was overwhelmed by a similar desire. I am giving this desire a form for everyone to see and for my friend to discover. I will still send him a copy of what you are about to read but I'll be omitting the lines which you already have, so he wouldn't know that...
